It sounds like it has been installed before, but was never completely uninstalled. Follow these steps and let us know. If you have problems, we will need computer and OS specs.

Before doing the regedits below, follow these steps in order first.

Go to add/remove programs and uninstall GR. Once done, or if it doesnt work, delete all program folders and shortcuts from your HDD and desktop.

Once this is done, go to Start, Run, and type in regedit. Hit enter.

Go to file in the upper left corner, and choose export. Export a copy of the registry to a safe place in case something goes south on you. If it goes wrong, you will be able to reboot into Safe mode, double click the exported file, and restore your registry.

Keep in mind that once you alter the registry, you need to make a new restore point when you are done. Sys restore doesnt work once the registry has been altered until you make a new restore point, or restore the exported reg file in case of screw up.

Follow the steps below from within regedit.

Ghost Recon Uninstall / Reinstall Problems

Question

While installing Ghost Recon, the installer crashed. Now, I cannot uninstall the game or reinstall the game. What can I do?

Answer

If you are having a problem removing Ghost Recon so you can reinstall it, try this and see if it helps:

From the Start Menu, click Run and type in "regedit" (without the quotes) then left click "OK".

Following the next set of instructions requires you to left-click the "+" sign to the right of the proceeding directories to expand them:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Red Storm Entertainment (right-click on the folder Ghost Recon, left-click "delete" and accept the removal message)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Current Version -> App Paths (right-click on the folder GhostRecon.exe, left-click "delete" and accept the removal message)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Uninstall (right-click on the folder that starts.. {D89EF3B3-.. }, left-click "delete" and accept the removal message)

Close the Registry Editor and reinstall Ghost Recon, then any expansion packs (if applicable). Finally, download the Ghost Recon patch 1.3 and 1.4. Install the 1.3 patch then the 1.4.
