Un-installer Battlefield 2

Jimmy1983 · 6 Dec 2007 at 21:39

Just trying to un-install this game from my old PC running SP Pro on it, Ive gone to the start, EA Games, Battlefield 2, Un-install.

Its starts the un-install then clears the screen and nothing happens :confused:

Anyone know off a way to get rid off this game?

Just delete the main folder. All it'll leave behind are a couple (if that) of registry entries, and maybe a folder in your Windows profile folder somewhere. Then just delete the shortcuts.

Is there no other Un-installer that I can try?

Control Panel/ Add or Remove Programs.

Yer tried that, the same thing happens. I would do a print screen but the program doesn't run for very long before it closes itself

Unistall features uses the apps unistall feature. You could try reinstalling it then unstalling it.

Or CCleaner to manually delete and get it to tidy the registry.

Have you tried Inserting the BF2 DVD and selecting the Uninstall feature after the DVD menu comes up?

Tried the DVD in both my drives, then click install goes into setup..... then back to the desktop.

This is the options when the DVD is inserted, cant see an un-install option there.

Not tried ccleaner yet.

Tried it, just starts 'Preparing set-up'.... then nothing :mad:

Thats with trying to un-install it. Did you just delete it, then run the ccleaner scanner?

Looking here, http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/archive/index.php?t-23427.html

Its saying,

Try manually deleting the files and related items.

1. Delete your BF2 directory.
2. Delete the "c:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{04858915-9F49-4B2A-AED4-DC49A7DE6A7B}" - or wherever your Program Files directory is.
3. Delete the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2" registry entry.
4. Delete the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{04858915-9F49-4B2A-AED4-DC49A7DE6A7B}" registry entry.

Ive done the first 2 points, on point 3 what does it mean by 'registry entry'?

Can someone confirm for me please?
