HoI2 slightly screwed - Help!!!

[unmerged(15483)]

Hi guys.

This is a rather weird problem. I have been unable to uninstall Hoi2 by normal means for a few months now. However - I tried to install the recent DD patch the other day but it installed into HOI2!!! Anyway - this screwed it up so I uninstalled it manually. When I came to install it - I found that it could not be done at all! Something about core components. I am really angry now as I love HOI2 MP - DD is fine but I want HOI2 MP back

Help!!!! I can give you more info if needed - but at the moment I am depressed

Okay what product are you trying to use and are you installing or uninstalling when you get the error, and can you list the specific error you are getting please?

Am trying to use HOI2 - bear in mind that I am unable to find the directory for it at all - it is as if it says there is a mysterious hoi2 directory on my pc, but which does not exist...

The error pops up both when I am trying to install and uninstall the game. A window pops up as follows:

'Component Transfer Error'
Component: Core Files
File Group:
File:
Error: Catastrophic Failure
