Not sure why you would have to do a reg clean for that. For a clean install, normally I just uninstall and then delete the folder. Anyway good you got it installed

That's normal. You have to uninstall first, then reinstall. I'm not sure why they did it that way, but that's how it works.

hi ,

if you do a manual search after the uninstall , you shall find a lot of files with names like infogrames , civilization , arts , units , etc , ......

and sometimes those remaining folders interfere with the new install , and in most cases the reason that made you do the uninstall in the first place hides somewhere in those files , ....

have a nice day
