How do you completely uninstall

C

C. Sams

We are have problems with one of our games (Medal of
Honor). We tried to uninstall but it would not uninstall.
It would say maintenance complete but would not
uninstall. We deleted the game in the start/programs and
deleted the file in c/program files/. But it still is
listed in the add/remove.

How do you completely uninstall something? So we can try
and do a reinstall? And get the patches necessary for
this game.

Medal of Honor (PC) INSTALL - Medal of Honor will not
uninstall or reinstall

Question:
Why does Medal of Honor not uninstall or reinstall? I
keep getting a Modify, Repair, Remove screen.

Answer:
If you are attempting to reinstall Medal of Honor Allied
Assault and you are getting a window that provides you
with the options to Modify, Repair, or Remove the game or
you have uninstalled the game but it still shows up in
Add or Remove Programs then some files are still left on
your system. These files located in your registry.

The following steps will completely remove the game and
all of its settings from your computer. Be warned that if
these steps are not followed correctly, your installation
of windows could become corrupted. If you do not wish to
complete these steps yourself, call one of our phone
representatives with the phone number provided in the
back of the game manual for help. It is recommended that
you print out this page before proceeding.

1. Delete the games directory.
a. Double click on My Computer.
b. Double click on C:\
c. Double click on Program Files
d. Double click on EA Games
e. Right click on MOHAA.
f. Click Delete.

2. Next delete MOHAA from the start menu as well.
a. Click on Start
b. Click on Programs
c. Click on EA Games
d. Right click on Medal of Honor Allied Assault.
e. Click Delete.

3. Now load the registry editor. Go to Start -> Run ->
type in "regedit" (without the quotes).

Before doing anything in the Registry it is important
that a backup be made. If any mistakes are made while
working in the Registry the system could become unstable
or inoperable as a result.

To back up your Registry in Windows XP:
1. Click on File
2. Click on Export
3. Type in Backup in the File name field.
4. Change the Export range to All.
5. Click Save (By default this file should will saved to
My Documents)

4. Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE by clicking on the plus next
to it.

5. Expand Software by clicking on the plus next to it.

6. Expand Microsoft by clicking on the plus next to it.

7. Expand Windows by clicking on the plus next to it.

8. Expand CurrentVersion by clicking on the plus next to
it.

9. Expand Uninstall by clicking on the plus next to it.

10. Click on {0DEA94ED-915A-4834-A87E-388D012C8E02} one
time so that it is highlighted and then press the delete
key on your keyboard. When asked if you are sure you
would like to delete this file select Yes.

11. With this file deleted close the Registry Editor.

NOTE* The following steps should only be taken if a
mistake was made during the above steps to remove the
Registry key.

To restore your Registry in Windows 98/Me/XP
1. Right click on the Backup.reg file that you created.
2. Click Merge, this will then cause your Registry to be
restored.
The above steps to restore the Registry should ONLY be
taken if you have deleted a key you did not mean to
delete. Restoring the Registry when it is working fine
can result in unwanted effects.

Now that the above Registry entry has been deleted the
game can be reinstalled normally. You will no longer
receive the Modify, Repair, or Remove screen when
attempting to run the installation wizard. Additionally
the game will no longer appear in your Add or Remove
Programs list.
