Now I boot WitPAE ( 1) game, load a file I saved when I had the 1.03 update installed - WitPAE (2) , and the game tells me I have a later version of a game file " Saved under 1.03.1102a" ...which I of course already know ..and so I exit and try to update the game from the 1.02.1095 Dec. 7 2009 .41.41 to the later version. But now I am told that I already have the later updated version.

So I look in the green arrow program file list in the start box ...and sure enough, it shows a WitPAE (2) and no WitPAE ( 1) is shown. So I scroll down to the uninstall all in the WitPAE (2) program list in the green arrow start box...and guess what? It tells me I cannot uninstall this game because it is the wrong game to uninstall ...even though it is the one in the list!!!

Give me a break. Why can't we all just get along and kill some folks ...virtually, I mean.?

Now I am totally lost...but will not give in yet.

If you will help...please?

You could manually delete it all .. I suspect that some auto update might have installed in the 'proper' (matrix) folder and somehow messed up the version number .. but im purely guessing. I install all my games into default dirs for just this reason.

Good luck .. as its well worth it !

I don't know what you're doing in there, but you've been responded to in the other thread by one of the game's main coders, so if he says there's no registry interaction, and deleting the main folder will scrub your box of AE, he's right. I'd start over.

Only extra thought I could add is to disconnect from the Net while installing, and turn off all virus checkers, malware defenses, etc. while you install. Once you've done a new install, and restarted with your virus defenses on, try to maybe download the patch (you only need the last, comprehensive Patch 3) rather than use the auto-updater found under the desktop icon, and launch the patch manually.

Good luck.
