Installing/uninstalling problem (JK2)

Recommended Posts

Ok, as follows.

I used to play a lot of jk2, but I stopped playing. Now, I want to visit my clan sometimes, but my jk2 disk seems to be scratched. It stucks at 64% with the install. Now, I got a good jk2 disk from my friend, threw this jk2 off... but as soon as I fired up the install of that disk, it asked me if I was sure that jk2 was uninstalled completely. So I clicked yes.. after a while, it finished, I try to setup again, and again.. asks me to uninstall.. I've just formatted my hard drive a few weeks ago, and am not planning to do so again... any more ppl with this problem that can help me? would be appreciated.. thx :D

Clean your disc and try again. Also consider making a clone of your cleaned disc. Typically people will start complaining of problems when their bootlegged/warzed copy of the game isn't working, which is not the fault of lucasarts, but rather the pirates. But if you honestly want help, take my advice. If it's too scratched that even a cleaning can't help, then consider buying yourself a new copy. The game is very cheap and well worth it.

You might also try a registry cleaner to make sure the game is really fully uninstalled before you reinstall (I use Registry Mechanic).

Actually I get the impression that when he inserted the disc to PLAY, it prompted him to uininstall (using the auto run program).

 

That's pretty weird. It makes me think the first install was somehow corrupted. You could try just cancelling and running the exe directly from the game directory (not the auto run cd). But it may just not work. Try uinstalling and reinstalling. But I suspect the problem may go deeper...

I had this happen recently on my buddies computer over here, just make sure you erase every little bit of it and even take off restore when you restart your computer.

 

 

Besides obviously cleaning your registry, physicaly erase the Lucas Arts folder off of your harddrive. A config probably is probably being left and I know that when this happened to me this worked.

 

 

Hope that helps.
