Unable to clean install Freelancer

  • I don'[t know what is wrong:
    I uninstall Freelancer. Then I install the game again from the CD, but it keeps the mod I am trying to get rid of in the freelancer folder (even after I have deleted it, the files mysteriously appear).


    Anyone know what is wrong?


    Running:
    Vista Home Premium
    Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4Ghz
    3070 MB RAM
    GeForce 8600GT Graphics

  • Yeah tried all that first still not working, it seems to install it then just replace it with the stuff I deleted.


    Trying to install manually from the cab files.


    EDIT: Still not working.....WTH?! Keeps replacing the newly installed files with the old ones...


    EDIT 2: Fixed this by installing Fl to another directory (C:\...\Freelancer2\) Not sure why I have had to do this, but that is how I solved it in case anyone else gets this problem.

  • Uninstall Freelancer.... then FLMM .....then check ur C: drive/Progrmas/Microsoft Games make sure FL folder has gone also check C: drive/Programs/Freelancer Mod Manager make sure that folder has gone.....Next check C: drive in explorer click on down arrow next to Organise at the top....click on folder option....then the veiw tab....then check show hidden folders then check in Users....your User name App Data see if there is anything FL related in there if check your Local Folder then make sure your save documment for freelancer inside My documments is also removed.....


    Next Run a registry scan... and finally use your search option to search for anything Freelancer or CrossFire related if that finds nothing you should be ok to reinstall Freelancer.......make sure you go back an hide the folders again when u have finished.

  • Sorry made a Mistake do the search for freelancer CF files then do Registry Scan Last also if you have a temp folder cleaner like Ccleaner run that or manually empty you temp folder.
