Re-installing won't work

    [​IMG] I wanted to give the "Return to Trademeet" mod a try and decided to re-install SoA and ToB. I wish I hadn't.
    After uninstalling ToB the computer proceeds and asks if I want to uninstall SoA too. But he won't do it. ToB has disappeared from the software list (in configuration screen or 'control panel'? my version of windows is Dutch) but SoA remains there. When I try to uninstall it, it just doesn't work. So I deleted the Black Isle folder manually.

    And then...

    Then I insert my CD1 of BG2, the main screen appears, but instead of the install button, the play button stands there. So I open my Cd root and run Setup.exe, but then the pc tries to uninstall SoA again (which doesn't work, remember?). And so I have lost BG2 on my computer and the ability to install it.

    Now I don't know much about computers, but I suspect (hope) there is a simple solution to my issue here. And hopefully someone on these boards can give that to me.

    Thanks for listening.

    I just downloaded Easy-Clean and ran it but SoA remains on the software list. Thanks for the quick reply, but maybe you could give some more info on how you solved the problem?

    maybe you're using wrong programme.I wasn't talking about that programme you are probably using at the moment(I've never tried out it myself). sorry.
    you can download:http://www.atfile.com/pds_download.asp?pg_code=1615&pv_code=7&flag=1
    It's not an english so maybe it won't work.
    If it don't work. I'm afraid that I can't do anything about it

    EDIT:I've downloaded that, and option is Add/Remove-BG2-Delete
