Can't uninstall game
Hello everyone,

Recently my computer has been having a great amount of problems. we fixed it and my little brother tried to play his game, but as soon as this title screen comes up saying all the copyright and trademark info, it crashes. I figured the only way to get it to work was to reinstall. BUT, now when I try to uninstall "Rome Total War : Barbarian Invasion" a message comes up saying "InstallShield (R) Setup launcher has stopped working" Why can't I simply uninstall this game? What should I do? Windows keeps telling me that they will send a solution but I haven't seen it.

Try using, RevoUninstaller, http://www.revouninstaller.com/ . Please be careful though as it may delete something you may need, setting a system restore point is advisory and so is reading the instructions carefully

This might sound a bit harsh, but I think you can remove Rome: Total War without uninstalling. If you use CCleaner, you can remove an Add/Remove entry from the registry. Upon doing so, you could delete all the files manually, I had to do this when my Worms 2 wouldnt uninstall. But this was before CCleaner existed, so I had to hop onto regedit to remove the registry entries manually.

Before you follow their suggestions, why don't you try to reinstall the game first, overlap the old one and then uninstall it from add/remove programs under control panel. If that doesn't work then follow the suggestions above.
