Help uninstall game

[kamiakin]

I installed a game then quickly moved it and its components to "my documents in a folder I made for it.  I tried to uninstall the game later on by clicking on the uninstall shortcut in the folder but the shortcut can't find the uninstall.exe for it.

I tried installing the game and uninstalling it but all it did was remove the newly installed game (same as the one im having trouble with) from cpu.  The game and everything else  stayed in the folder and still works because it runs when I insert the cd in.  

Is there a way to manually uninstall/remove this from my cpu because I tried add/remove but all it did was remove my game profiles and data(saved games, difficulty lvl)
I also tried tools like "windows install clean up" but the game is not listed in it so I can't remove.
Also system restore can't help because when I try it, it does'nt make changes and system restore on disk clean-up won't work either because the nearest check-point is after the game was installed.

Plz help, I would read responses everyday :-/

What game is this?  Have you tried returning the files to their original location?

[kamiakin]

The game is Empire Earth 2, I am not sure how to return it to it's original location and that does'nt work what is it there to do?

K I installed it, ill try it and see if the game is listed

[kamiakin]

I think I found em, so if I "run cleaner will it remove the game and all of it's components (at least the ones I select) off my cpu?
 :-?

Oh forgot to say that I moved it from "my document" to program files.  Yet it's not on the program list in start menu just viewable through "my computer"

Can someone tell me what ccleaner means when it say's "do you want to backup changes to the registry" because I think the file(sierra) I see could be the uninstaller for the game but not sure what that question means.

And would someone suggest any other helpful ideas other than ccleaner in case it does'nt work!  :-/

CCleaner asks that when you delete registry entries.  If the uninstaller is showing up in the list of registry fixes, then that probably means that the file doesn't exist anymore.

Start CCleaner and go to Tools.  Is there anything in the program list about your game?  If not, then just skip ahead to the next paragraph.  If it is in the list, click on Run Uninstaller.  If that doesn't work, click on Delete Entry and click on Yes.  Then...

Just delete those game files you have (right-click and Delete) and run CCleaner again.  Click on Run Cleaner and it will clear out your Temp folders and should get rid of any extra files that came with the game.  Then if you want to clear your bad registry entries, click on Issues and Scan For Issues, then Fix Selected Issues.  When CCleaner asks if you want to make a backup, click on Yes and pick a place to save the file.  You'll need that if you decide that you want to undo the changes made.

Oh... hope it works, here goes nothin   :-/

[kamiakin]

Hold on, before i try this, what if the uninstaller is'nt listed? Does that mean the uninstaller is still in? and if it is how can I find it and make it work? :-?
