game wont install after hdd crash

from Sins Forums

I have a dual HDD setup on my comp. I installed the game on drive F:\ and it played and installed perfectly. about a 2 days ago my F drive decided to crap out on me. So i decided to install the game on my C: drive.  When i go to install the game I get the window from the disk asking my to Modify, Repair, or Uninstall. Either of the options gives me an error window saying invalid F:\ drive. After searching through the registry and my C: drive and deleting any file related to Stardock or Sins of a solar empire I still get the same result. any suggestions?

thanks for the help.

If the installer is thinking that the game is still present, then that'd mean you didn't get everything out of the registry. Sins stores its registry stuff in HKLM\Software\Stardock\Drengin.net\sins--just delete the entire sins key and it should let you reinstall.
