Hi,

I cancelled the installation of the game a few minutes after I started, as I
changed my mind and wanted to do it at a later date. This was about a month
ago.

Now when I insert the installation CD, I get an error message,
Error(-5006: 0x80070017)
"Please make sure you have finished previous setup"

What can I do to rectify this? Is there some orphaned entry in my registry
that is causing this? Can anyone advise how to solve this and be able to
install the game?

Thank you.....
 
Hi Daphne,

Here's how to uninstall a game when using Add-Remove programs fails:

Step A: Start your computer in Safe Mode by holding down the F8 key.

Step B: Reinstall the game to the same folder it was installed to originally,
and then try to uninstall it again using Add-Remove programs. If
that fails, delete it's folder and any save games in My Documents.

Step C: Install and Run Regcleaner and if it finds any stray registry keys for the
game, delete them: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download460.html
