ok so installed this game on my computer, and at the end of the installation it said:

"an installation support file could not be removed.
unspecified error"

i pressed ok, as it was the only option to press. then i tried to open the game, but nothing happened. it had the little egg timer thingie on the mouse for a bit, then just the normal arrow.

so i asked my brother what to do (he knows a heap on computers) he tried reinstalling it but the same thing happened.
so he said "try uninstalling, then reinstalling"

so i tried but as i tried to uninstall it, but the same message popped up.
i couldnt do anything so i just deleted the file of the game "this game is too big for the recycling bin, would you like to permanently delete it?"
so i clicked "yes to all".
then i looked in my start-uninstall programms thingie, and the game name was still there. so i clicked on it but the same box popped up.

WHAT DO I DO?????

m!$hA
am i meant to read all of that? blink

yerssot
no, it's just a review for people that don't know the game

m!$hA
oh erm
well even though the review says its pretty good, its crap!
if you like that kind of game i reccomend the sims, or better yet the sime 2 droolio

hotel giant is pretty old now erm

Raz
heh, thats the most stupid error message I've seen.

Best thing to do is just delete the folder the game is in.

m!$hA
i did that before, but the game is still in the 'add/remove programs' thingie in start menu blink

JKozzy
And go into the Registry Editor and delete all the keys from it about the game yes

m!$hA
how do i do that? confused
whats registy editor?

Raz
I wouldn't touch the registry if you don't know what it is. A simple mistake could make your computer unusable.

Just delete the game from your start menu (right-click -> delete) and leave the rest.

m!$hA
thanx raz,
but its still there confused
will it stay there forever?

Raz
Where in your start menu? Just right-click on the folder in your start menu, then select delete.

m!$hA
ive done that yes
but its still there when i go into explorer, and also still there when i go into 'add/remove programmes' blink
