Uninstalling Roller Coaster Tycoon 2?

As some of you may know, RCT2 was distributed in cereal boxes a while back. I got the disc and installed it.

It worked before.

This morning, after quite a while, I decided I want to play again. So I pop in the disc, and I click "Go" when the window pops up. I get an error saying "There was an error launching the game."

I said **** it, so I decided to uninstall. I do the usual via add/remove programs, and the uninstaller finishes successfully and says complete. However, it doesn't disappear from the add/remove programs list, and didn't delete the directory I installed it on. Which means it didn't actually uninstall it.

I tried it multiple times, rebooting and what not, and no luck. I tried installing this patch, no luck.

I don't know what to do now. Anyone have any solutions?

Have you tried deleting the directory where you installed RCT? Try deleting it. If that doesn't work, try booting into safe mode. Hope that helps.

I don't think that's the issue. I think the uninstaller just doesn't do anything.

Try RevoUninstaller (search in PCWorld.com) gt thr portable version. It's a HIGHLY recommended uninstaller that can make a restorepoint before Uninstall and delete registry keys of the app and left over files and your HardDrive

Nevermind, I deleted it.

All I had to do was delete The Uninstaller information.

Uninstall your game from computer then reinstall it.

+1 Revo. Useful and light, even if the current issue is no more.

This is an issue with all Windows PC's. Because its an Older game, I guess its used to older file settings. I notice with a lot of games that I install (such as Battlefield 1942, Vietnam) the file folder stay there, they don't actually go anywhere.
