Call of Duty 4 Uninstall Issues

Hi there, new here.

I got my copy of CoD4 today, played fine but I didn't choose to install PunkBuster for some reason, didn't know you needed it for online.

Now I manually uninstalled it from the autoplay.exe and deleting folders after it gave me an error, from searches there seem to be no folders left on my computer, and when I auto run it again it won't let me install the game again, and gives me an error when i do choose the "uninstall" option.

Need help for a clean wipe out install or something, please! :)

Edit: Game is unplayable too, of course.

Re: Call of Duty 4 Uninstall Issues

Never manually delete software, always use the uninstall option.

Try going to Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a Program

Is it listed there?

Re: Call of Duty 4 Uninstall Issues

the next step would be to delete files,and remove all registry entries.

Re: Call of Duty 4 Uninstall Issues

Hello
download Revo uninstaller from my sig
install it and run it
open it, wait for the list to be loaded, if you can see Call of Duty 4 in the list right click on it and choose uninstall, click next, a list should appear choose select all, and click delete
click next and do the same as before if there is a second list
when done restart your PC and then reinstall the game again
if for a reason there is no Call of Duty 4 in the list, download CCleaner

and use it to clean the missing registry
Good Luck

Re: Call of Duty 4 Uninstall Issues

Try to run the setup manually
go to the DVD directory and find the file "Setup.exe" or just "Setup"

Re: Call of Duty 4 Uninstall Issues

right click on the DVD and choose open, browse the DVD content and try to look for a file named "Setup" or "Install"
press it and see if that works for you

Re: Call of Duty 4 Uninstall Issues

I found it. It was necessary to clean one folder after instalation of COD - here: C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield Installation Information\ => use find "cod*.*"
