call of duty 2 blabla

some time ago i installed cod2, i got bored of it and uninstalled it, but it never fully got uninstalled (it's still in configuration window -> software)

however i deleted all files from my pc, but now i can't fully uninstall the game and i cant open the installer windows (it says something is wrong with C:/WINDOWS/cod2install.msi or smth). so i decided to install it this way, i copied the files from the cd to my harddisk map into the original call of duty folder (C:/Program Files/Activision/Call of Duty 2/) no problems so far. I open the game, made a little cfg and quit it again.

However I want to patch it to 1.3 now, so I downloaded the patch and run it, but at some point the windows installer stops and says that the installer cannot verify my current version of cod2 and i should verify if i installed the game correctly (which i cannot even do)

so what should i do to fully destroy everything from this game on my pc so i can reinstall it?

no i dont want to format my pc. i would also be grateful if someone could just give me the files i need for the 1.3 patch :p

EDIT: oh btw it is the original CD with original key

imo 1.2 patch first
delete all files, then into windows registry, delete the entry cod2, and now you can install it again
where in the registry is it? :p
Parent
use the search function! :D
Parent
in the hkey_local_machine -> software -> activision -> cod2 directory is only my key lol
Parent
afaik there are also some "hidden" files in the registery, but i dont know how to remove / show em (did it once for some fucking virus, but still not gone)

edit* maybe try hkey_classes_root

i believe i had the same problem.

when i ran the cd, and it came up with the install menu n stuff it got partly through the install, then failed. (after i had already uninstalled cod2 once)

when i 'explored' the cd and ran the setup from there it worked fine, as well as being able 2 patch the game ;O

maybe not the same problem though. :<
it's about the same, only i couldn't patch it. :P
Parent
maybe a dumb question, but did you install it from the setup.exe found in the CD? rather then just C&P it all? it worked fine for me after that :(
Parent
Well I did it the first time, but i couldnt install it from the setup from the cd after i uninstalled it the first time ;) but now it's working
Parent
/uninstall COD2 then install again?
use CCleaner to get everything deleted from your registry
please give me your key :D
