Uninstalling Problem
Hi,

Im having a problem uninstalling a program, well its actually a game, however, im not able to complete the uninstall process as after clicking uninstall on the program in Control Panel > Program and Features it pops up with a message saying "setup.exe has stopped working." See the attached picture if you want.

Im running Vista 32 bit, just to let you know!

Thanks

Matt

I'm afraid you'll have to do it manually.

Locate your game's folder and delete it.

Click on Start > Run > type regedit

Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software and locate you game in there. Delete the corresponding registry keys.

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE and do the same.

Still in the registry, you might also want to try locating any other entries for Warrock by clicking on Edit > Search > and typing Warrock in the box. If it finds an entry, hit the F3 key to find all the others one by one in the registry.

Yes, if you delete all traces, it's uninstalled.

You could also try reinstalling Warrock and then using Revo to uninstall it again.
