Alright well I did what was said in the sticky post even tho I couldn't find what needs to be deleted in the installshield folder, I looked each of them one by one and couldnt find anything that has to do with Hearts of Iron. So I used CCcleaner also to try to remove it, I deleted the regestry and manually deleted everything I could find that had anything to do with hearts of Iron. By the way I had Doomsday and armaggedon installed. So what I get is once I delete everything I can and I try to install, I can access the install part unlike before doing what is in the sticky post, but when I click it the next window that loads up gives me two options; remove or repair. So I'm kind of hopeless. Thanks for your help. Oh I am using XP.
