Can't Re-Install Original Lock On from CD

[lennycutler]

I can't re-install Lock On (from the original CD).

 

I recently had to have my new computer sent back for repair.

I took the drive out before shipping that contained the Lock On, Flaming Cliffs etc...installation.

 

When I got my computer back. I reinstalled my hard drive where I keep Lock On etc.

The drive got relabled from "J:" to "E:".

 

Because of that I could not load Lock On.

I attempted to uninstall everything but could not do it automatically.

I manually unistalled everything...including starforce.

I tried to re-install from the basic original Lock On CD.

 

Even though I manually cleaned out the registry....I could not clean out a couple of entries that still referred to Lock On on Drive "J".

When I try to install from the original CD...it fails...since the install program still thinks the prior install is in drive "J".

 

Using Regedit , I tried to eliminate the following...but I get an error message that I can't overwrite the values.

 

Value Name: Mask

Value Data J:\LOCK ON-FLAMING CLIFFS\LOCKON.EXE

 

And for the following Registry Entrys:

 

Value Name: slmagePath

Value Data: J:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On\lockon.exe

 

Value Name: ImagePath

Value Data: J:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On\lockon.exe

 

Again can't delete or overwrite the values.

 

I think, If I could get rid of these entrys or change them....I could re-install.

 

I am just trying to re-install the original Lock On CD. I am trying to just get ready for Flaming Cliffs 2.0.

 

PS...I do run the install for compatibility to Windows XP and as the administrator.

 

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Lock On Install from CD

 

Resolved the issue this morning.

 

1. Determined that prior install which used J drive....could be undone by eliminating the current J drive reference which turned out to be a USB Card reader. Found this out thru the Device Manager.

2. Used and external program from http://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbdlm_e.html..to eliminate the USB drive designation until I need it...sets it dynamically -USBDLM- is easy to set up and works.

3. Then set my external drive to become a J drive via the Disk Manager.

4. Then re-installed Lock On to the J external drive.

5. Then uninstalled Lock On completely from the external drive.

6. This action cleaned out the registry entries that were preventing me from doing the install.

7. Then successfully installed Lock On to my E drive.

Now I am happy and ready for FC 2.0
