Trying to reinstall OFF3 and seeing something weird now.

[jack72]

I am trying to reinstall OFF3 after having already installed. I had OFF2 on the machine and did not know that I had to delete OFF2 before installing OFF3.

 

Yesterday I deleted OFF3 using the unistall tool, and tried to delete the OFF2 but did not see an uninstall tool. I went into my directory and deleted it manually.

 

I tired looking in the Regedit to see any remenants of the two games but did not see anything.

 

I then reinstalled OFF3 and noticed in my directory I had a download file that I created holding all the patches show up. Therefor I am not sure if OFF3 or if OFF2 is really gone.

 

What is the best prodcedure to ensure that OFF 2 and OFF3 is deleted from my system and I can run a clean install.

Actually, it is not necessary to delete Phase 2 as the Phase 3 installer is smart enought to install over it, or do a bare install as necessary.

 

Installing Phase 3 would not make your old download folder re-appear so I suspect it was maybe never deleted in the first place??

 

Is your install working...if so, maybe you have no worries?

The FAQ has some instructions on cleaning out P2.

 

See Q21.

 

and see the bit "If you have other odd errors you should make sure you had a clean install so.. :"
