Well I had given Crysis to my brother last May for his birthday. Installed well and he played it, no problems there.

Now he came to play it again and he told me "it isn't working".
I went to install it for him (he said he couldn't), and I couldn't neither install nor uninstall. The Install option was unselectable. And if I tried to uninstall I got the message of a missing file (don't remember exact message).

Apparently he had accidentally deleted some Crysis file, and that is why he can't install/uninstall. I came to this conclusion because the game still shows up under Installed Programs in the Control Panel (and I can't uninstall it neither from there).

I further deleted his saved games and the Crysis folder and files in Program Files, but still this didn't solve the problem.

Does anyone know what I can do to get his game working again? I suspect I have to delete some registry entries (I did that once in the case of Oblivion) but I need to know which registry entries they are, because I don't want to accidentally delete something else and ruin his games for the holidays!

Thanks!
:toast:
 
if you go into the registry editor from the run command (regedt32)
And use the find tool and search for crysis. Then delete all the entries.
When I searched there are quite a few. Everyone the Find tool found with the word "crysis" is to do with the game and can be deleted.
 
Thanks. So there are no other entries which are less obvious which I have to delete? Only the ones which contain the word 'crysis'?

Click to expand...

Seems to pickup a lot of entries.
And make sure all the files/folders related to it are gone. Here is what comes up with a search on my PC:

If deleting all the reg entries and those two folder above doesnt work, I'm stumped :ohwell:
 
create a folder on desktop name it crysis, open the crysis disk and edit and select all then copy to folder (crysis the one you made) leave the disk in the cdrom when done, but, run the setup from the crysis folder, if it has missing files again see witch ones it says and open disk again find the file its missing and recopy that file to the crysis folder, then hit continue on the popup of missing file. You may have to copy the file a couple of times to get it to work. Had to do this several times. ALLEN
