Deleted1339625User Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Alright, I uninstalled Oblivion a while ago after many technical difficulties. I decided to reinstall it today but I immediatly am facing some problems. Here's my problem:So, I insert the oblivion disk to reinstall the game. The install screen occurs for a minute with no progress and then, it closes. Confused, I try to re run the setup process. But, the Oblivion launcher menu appears as if I installed the game! So, I click data files and get an error message saying that it could not be found. I try to play the game but I get a CTD. I realize that this "install" is corrupted and I wish to uninstall the game. I go to the control panel and I can't find the game! I go to the launcher and click uninstall but I get another error message! I go the my computer and search "oblivion" and almost nothing is found! What do I do? I want to uninstall Oblivion and then reinstall it, but this problem is hindering me! Help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herculine Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Try using CC Cleaner to uninstall the game and then to clean your registry, then try reinstalling Oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bben46 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 My guess is you removed Oblivion without uninstalling it - erased the files or deleted the folders. That leaves bits and pieces behind. especially in the Windows registry. Just running a registry cleaner without first uninstalling the game will not remove these entries. And unless you actually know what you are doing I definitely do not recommend editing the registry manually - a mistake there could make your computer into an expensive paperweight. Please follow this procedure to be sure everything is actually gone and the registry is clean before reinstalling. Taking shortcuts will actually make it take longer. Here is a link to my complete uninstall/reinstall procedure located in the articles section of the Nexushttp://www.tesnexus....icle.php?id=240 It allows you to preserve any saves and mods, or remove them completely - your choice.

Alright, I found the setup.exe in the oblivion folder and am installing it at this moment. I want to get rid of all saves and mods because I wish to install FCOM on a clean Oblivion game. I tried before with 100+ mods and it didn't work out so well. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
