I can't uninstall GTA San Andreas

RAW.BOOM · 01-28-2008, 04:37 AM

I'm having trouble unistalling this game, When i try to uninstall it from the menu, it comes up with an error

Setup has experienced an error
Please do the following
-close any running programs
-empty your temporary folder
-check your internet connection

then try to run the setup again

error -5001

I've done what it had asked but still nothing. I cant even delete it from ad or remove programs becasue it doesnt seem to exist. and in the program folder its there, but again it wont delete, I'm really stumped.

U guys are in luck i had the exact same problem i know how to fix it. I went to run and typed in regedit. THen look for HKEY at the top once you have found that. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Find your rockstar folder and go inside, then just delete your GTA san andreas folder. THis worked for me so good luck.

Always make a backup of your registry before making any changes, in case anything goes wrong.

Start > Run > regedit, go to File > Export to make a backup.
