Expansion installation problem

Dar'tanian · 08-17-2003, 05:35 PM

Once before i had downloaded totsc but then i accidently undownloaded BG1 and totsc. But it says that my totsc is still installed but it does not work when i go to play it. So i tryed to uninstall bg1 and totsc again, but totsc wont uninstall because "there is no installation files for that game" in my computer. So what should i do???? right now i have bg1 uninstalled and can not uninstall totsc i need help on how to uninstall totsc or how to make it work again.

It sounds like a registry problem. Either clean out your registry (God only knows how, I have a program,) or you can ignore it. Reinstall BG1, then run Setup.exe off of the CD (not through the autostart.) TotSC hates me when I want to uninstall/reinstall it too.

Sounds like a problem I had when I first tried to install MOHAA the install locked up around 75% completion so I canceled. The problem occurred when I tried to reinstall the game. My computers registry thought the game was there but all the files were missing. Since it was a fairly common error the answer was on just about every site with MOH info. Basically I had to track down the game in the registry and delete that line. fun. If True Moose's idea fails I'd suggest searching bioware's tech support FAQ, or emailing tech support and see what they have to say.

to get to the registry click run and then regedit. then click find and try bioware. do u want to play the game again or are u just trying to get rid of it?

Dar'tanian · 08-18-2003, 10:11 AM

I want to uninstall it only so i can reinstall it. I havent played it yet!

Ok so now im in this list and there is a whole bunch of numbers underneath the totsc file that i can delete. Is that what i want to delete?? I am afraid that if i delete it that something bad will happen somebody tell me if im wrong!!!

The saves should be untouched, if your worried copy the bg\saves folder someplace safe, and copy it back when your finished.
