New Version so can't Install problem!

I was using Jazz Jackrabbit 2 (version 1.20 I think). I downloaded the upgrade patch for internet play. I also downloaded a server patch from somewhere (it said it would remove some internet play bugs).

I completely removed the game from my pc (including deleting remaining files manually) because I finished playing it. Now I just realised that I can download user made maps so I tryied to install it again but the setup keeps on saying that I have a newer version of Jazz Jazkrabbit 2 on my pc so it can't install it on my pc. It just exits setup then.

I would like to install the game on my pc. So please help.

You didn't uninstall it. You just deleted it. You should somehow find the uninstall.exe and use that.

Nope, I uninstalled it using Add/Remove Programs. BTW I am using Wiin XP. There's no files of Jazz 2 on my pc anymore so...

You know a way to install it no matter what version is on my pc?

Try downloading and using the JJ2 uninstall aid. You can find it, and the instructions over here.

But I don't get it, I uninstalled it using Add/Remove in Windows XP (control panel)... Well anyways, as long as it works!

I guess you figured it out. :P

I guess Add/Remove doesn't delete regedit info.

Actually "Add/Remove" does delete registry keys... just not those added by third-party software, such as the server-list patch.
And because those keys were still present the Jazz Jackrabbit-installer complained about a "newer version".
