My uninstall.exe is missing and i need to uninstall!

[56RAF_coventry]

hello all,

 

I have downloaded the latest patch for Blackshark but when i come to try and install it, i get a message saying Blackshark not found so i can not install the patch. So i am going to try uninstall the game then install again they try install the the patch see if it works then. But i have a new problem i can not uninstall because my uninstall.exe is missing when i double click on it i get the message "missing shortcut windows is searching for uninstall.exe" I then see if i can see it in C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50 but its not there. I then decide to go to control panel and i can not uninstall it from there because DCS:BlackShark is not the list even though i have it installed but i have just deactivated it (this could be linked too the blackshark not found on patch installation). So how do i uninstall it with no uninstall.exe?

Which operating system do you use?

 

On my Vista, I would do the following:

 

Start

Control Panel

Programs

Uninstall a program

 

Select DCS Black Shark

 

click "uninstall"

 

Procedure for W7 and XP should be similar.

Install on top of the same installation - and you should get all files back into place, as well as the "Add Remove Program: DCS" in the Control Panel.

And you wont loose any activations unless you've changed the hardware - it will *Ask* you to activate, but it should use the same old activasion.

 

So just reinstall over the old folders. :)

I am using Vista but i said when i go too Start, Control Panel, Programs, Uninstall a program DCS Black Shark is not there even though i have it deactivated and installed on my PC.

can't you find it through Start menu, Start/Programs/EagleDynamics (C1 if you have russian version) /Ka-50/uninstall...?

[56RAF_coventry]

It has Uninstall there but when i click it, i get message saying "missing shortcut windows is searching for uninstall.exe"

Coventry, are you using Vista standard or "classic" mode for Control Panel display? My route there assumes the standard.

 

However, if it really doesn't show in your list of installed programs I would say that it's safe to install over it, just like Panzer suggested.

[56RAF_coventry]

I am using Standard. I am now trying too install it again but when i right click on setup on the disc it is taking ages to load up and it says not responding is this usual?

I right clicked on setup on the disc clicked run with admin rights nothing happened except a small blue circle( think it means loading) appeared then after about 5mins it went away and nothing happened.

See the post linked by Panzertard.

 

Copy the files mentioned to your hard drive, then run them locally, to see if there might be something with how your computer handles loading from discs that is causing issues.

It has decided to start loading the installer now from the disc im on the verifying installer bit at the moment.
