uninstall problem

B4NE · 3rd Jan 2005, 11:34 PM

.....I'm trying to free up space on my computer and delete some ut2004 and utxmp since I rarely ever play either anymore but when I go to uninstall nothing happens...

if I just delete everything in C:/UT2004 will that cause any problems later on or is it basically doing what an uninstall does?

Deleting the UT2004 folder won't cause problems with other programs if that's what you mean. There will be some minor issues, like traces in the start menu and your registry, but this won't harm your system much (as long as you don't make a habbit out of it to remove programs this way).

Have you tried add/remove software from the windows control panels? It should allow you to remove everything installed from the original disks and anything installed via UMOD. Other stuff you have to remove manually.

yeah I tried going through the control panel also and it did the same thing. I click uninstall and the curser changes to an hour glass for a second like its going to do something but nothing ever happens. I'd rather not just delete the folder but I don't really know how else to go about getting rid of it.
