Hi, welcome to TSF.
Try using a program like Revo Uninstaller to get rid of any remaining files or registry entries for SWGB.

I've downloaded Revo Uninstaller, and I still havent found any remaining files. I still get the Warning message. Doe anyone know where any back up files are stored? What about senerio maps or campains that have been saved from the previous verson? Where would these be located?

They may be in 'Documents and Settings'

I've been up and down within "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents" and I haven't found anything relating to STGB. Anyway for a saved game file to some how become void and currupt the instalation process? Perhaps an old media file or cut scene is somehow related? Im at a lose.
