I installed several user scenarios after getting used to the game. They worked fine, and then I shut down the computer. The next day, my Europa file disappeared. I could not find the Europa file anywhere. The problem is, I can't play Europa from the cd or uninstall it because it can't find it. Unfortunately, the Install button is grayed out, and I can't click on it to reinstall Europa. I have never had any problem like this in any game ever before. Any help will be appreciated.

You have to do some different things to purge EU from your system.
You have to manually delete a key in your registry. You do that by starting regedit (Start => Run => regedit => Enter) and navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Paradox Entertainment" and delete the Europa Universalis key. It looks like a folder in regedit.
You also have to delete some installation files.
InstallShield creates a directory where it keeps all the information on installed software. On my machine it is 'C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information'
'InstallShield Installation Information' is marked as hidden so to be able to find it you have to change folder options on you PC to show hidden files. Search for files containing 'Europa' in this directory and you will find a file called 'setup.ini' with the following content:
[Startup]
AppName=Europa Universalis
Engine=0
Copy=1
Source=0
[Languages]
Default=0x0009
count=1
key0=0x0009
On my PC this resides in: 'C
rogram FilesInstallShield Installation Information{A6F1BDF7-53A7-4AF6-84B9-0C51C722BC91}'. I'm not sure if the last directory name will be the same on all machines but I think so. Delete that directory and you will be able to make a clean install.
