Ahh! What Have I Done?!?!?

[Nadine]

Oh my, oh no...

See I had both TSF and JJ2 loaded in - both NOT under the same folder. I had downloaded the 1.23 patch for JJ2, and some sort of servers patch for both JJ2 and TSF. I had copied the files into TSF folder to create a combo. When I'd try to connect to TSF to play online, it would show the same servers that were in JJ2, only they were greyed out. I thought somewhere down the line I created a mess, so I was determined to uninstall both and start from scratch.

So I uninstalled Jazz 2, and now I can't uninstall TSF! The uninstall.exe is missing! Somehow they were sharing it, or something. Now how can I uninstall TSF? What can I possibly do now?

That greyed out thing is supposed to happen.

That still doesn't explain why uninstalling one program stops the other one from being able to be uninstalled. And now that that has happened, what can I do now?

There's more I can tell you about this so you can help me...

I remember I did something really stupid before! I first installed TSF, but it (or I) created a folder "Jazz 2" for it. Then when I decided I also wanted JJ2 loaded in, and I remembered that I shouldn't load them in the same folder, I first renamed the Jazz 2 folder "TSF". WinXp didn't give me any warning that renaming the folder could be bad, so I thought nothing of it. Then I created another folder called "Jazz 2". Remember, the folder originally called that I renamed TSF. Now when I uninstalled Jazz 2, the folder was left behind and some things that I thought weren't important. So I deleted it, and emptied the Recycle Bin.

Now when I try to uninstall TSF, I can't. If I uninstall it from inside the folder, the uninstall.exe is there, I use it, it says I must use Add/Remove programs. I use add/remove progs and it says it must have already been uninstalled (Jazz 2 was), and asks if I want to remove TSF from the list of programs. If I go through the start menu it says "Error: Log file 'C:\Games\Jazz2\UnInst.j2' could not be found, cannot UnInstall."

I don't want junk to be left on my PC. I want to uninstall TSF, and do everything properly this time. What have I done? Who can help me? Please help me!:O

Wait, I may have fixed it. I will test it out and see. Thank god Windows XP has system restore! Even doing that didn't fix the problem, but it restored to before I loaded Jazz 2 in. It was looking for a file called uninst.j2 but it was looking for it in it's original directory c:\Games\Jazz2 while TSF was installed in C:\Games\TSF and the file was also in there. But that was not the path it was looking for, so I made a Jazz 2 directory and placed uninst.j2 in there and it allowed me to uninstall it. Then it didn't get rid of almost ANY of TSF, but it was certainly considered uninstalled, so I just deleted the folder. No probs.

Now I reinstalled TSF and Jazz 2 - in separate folders and in folders I won't rename! I'll just need to test it out to make sure it will work okay. And I want to make sure I get the right patches and put them in the right place.

Whew! I gotta be more careful with what I do...
