BG2 tech help


Recommended Posts

I posted this on the tech forum first but no replies, apologies for posting here. I am unable to play any BG2 so you can imagine the sense of urgency.

 

I tried to uninstall BG2 / ToB from my PC. ToB uninstalled fine, but it didn't automatically roll on to uninstall BG2: SOA.

 

Now when I try to do so I get the following message:

 

Error extracting support files:

 

Error loading type library / DLL

 

What I am trying to do is completely remove BG2 to do a fresh, clean install with a load of new mods. Am installing from the old 4-disc set as opposed to the one disc DVD (I've got it somewhere I think).

 

Any help greatly appreciated, many thanks in advance.

 

Cheers

^ Yeah, I thought I'd put Disc One back in to see what would happen - it won't let me play, reinstall or uninstall.

 

Hmmm. I suspect this might involve something I've heard of but never done: Going into the Registry... (cue dramatic Balalika music)

Thanks to everyone, esp. Morgoth. Went medieval on the directory then used CCleaner as suggested. A very easy-to-use tool, fixed the problem easily, plus it removed some of the dreck left behind (for some reason) by Crysis is the registry.

 

See y'all on my new BG2 thread where I will be bugging you for more advice.

 

Cheers
