I have a game installed, called Rogue Spear. Somehow, my computer corrupted the Uninst.isu special file during the Uninstall. It did not complete it, and I lost the unistallation file. What should I do? I CAN install the game, but it always tells me the file is missing and I might not be able to uninstall. It is still in my Programs list, and I dont like that. Can somebody please tell me what should I do. Or tell me how to delete the game from the installed programs list in control panel. If Im able to do that, ill delete the game directory manually.

Here's an idea..

Remove program from Add/Remove Programs:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall

1. Read reghakr's post on InCtrl5

2. Download the program and configure it.
3. Allow InCtrl5 to monitor re-install of Rogue Spear
4. Examine resulting reports for install activity.

There is a wealth of information generated and you can only be in a better position
to remove program elements and reverse changes made.

Its a shot in the dark but I hope it helps.

Smitty,

Thank you for all your help. I manually deleted Rogue Spear at Add/Remove programs. Then I installed InCtrl and examined the Install.exe for the game. It seemed ok, so I re-installed it again.. I received no errors at the end and the .isu file was created! InCtrl is a very useful program Id say. Thanx again Smitty.
