Why won't the game install again?

[Aladar]

I've removed all old version of EU2, so that i can order them in Vanilla, Aod and so on.

Now the problem is that when i try to install the game again, it either wants to remove/repair old version, which are deleted. And i can't install. What's wrong?

This should be tech support, not bug reporting forum.
If the installer wants to "repair/remove" then the game is still in the registry. See this post in the FAQ in the tech support forum for manual uninstall including registry cleanup: http://www.europa-universalis.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1101930&postcount=4 .

Hopefully, you shouldn't of deleted from recycle bin. Restore them back to EU2 folder and then uninstall. Then Install. Perhaps another might be registry keys? Unfortunately i'm no master of EU technical issues.

Beat me to it

Welcome to the support forum.
If you had come here first you would have been finished by now.
Look in the sticky thread titled "Support Forum FAQ and Self-Help Guide (Updated) - Start Here! " look at post number 4 for complete instructions on Manually uninstalling the game.

Thx a lot guys, the deletion of install shield files made it possible. Was getting shakes and all kind of hallucinations of never playing again
