Unistall error

Post by Skipper12 »

So I have had a few problems with my TS12, for instance the assets becoming faulty for no apparent reason which is not as fixed as I thought it was and various others, so a complete unistall then re-installing it from scratch has been recommended. The problem is that the unistall file (uninst000) is saying it is corrupted and cannot uninstall. Is there a way round this problem? (I understand that just deleting all the files will not work...)

I seem to remember having a similar problem last year , I think it's to do with the service packs and updates corrupting the file (though I could be wrong !!).
In the end I deleted the files and cleaned out the registry entries , though that is not recommended to anyone who doesn't know what they are doing !!

Have you considered renaming the old TS12 folder to something like "OLD TS12 DELETE" or similar then doing a reboot and re-installing TS12 ?
If it works then you can delete the old TS12 folder .
