Hey, I am experiencing a problem reinstalling Civ 3. I recently installed the game on my new cpu. I was having a few bugs, and decided that I had downloaded too many maps/patches/crap from the website.

I uninstalled the game and everything ran fine, it said that the uninstall was successful. When I went to reinstall, it runs the installshield but then pops up a window that says "Do you want to remove the selected application of all its components?" I said yes, thinking that something was left behind. It then runs a quick check then tells me that maintenance is complete.

I checked and couldn't find a trace of the game on my hard drive. On the add/remove files option under My Computer, it tells me that Civ 3 is still there, a 1.3MB file. I try to delete it but it won't work.
it also says Error extracting support files : acces is denied
also on rebot theres a civilization 3 file in c:\windoows

i also looked everywhere for this problem tried some things and nothin


id also like to say thanks for some help on a few other problems
 
I've had exactly the same problem! I've tried your method Esca and it doesn't make any difference. Basically i cannot reinstall Civ3, let alone uninstall it from my computer?!

The only thing it seems i can do is reformat...

...perish the thought!
