Cannot install FE, install prompts to uninstall.

November 12, 2012 6:17 PM from

I have FA and even played it for a while on my old computer but today I received my new computer and I cannot install the game. When I downloaded the client version 1.01 and try to run it it asks me if I want to uninstall FA. If I choose "No" it quits install and if I choose "Yes" an error message apears. Why does it want to uninstall when I don't have the game installed. I actually want to install it.

I did have it on my old hard drive so i thought that perhaps it detects somehow that it is installed on the second hard drive so I deleted all the old files from drive D: but it didn't help I still get the same prompt.

I have a completely empty computer I only just installed Win7 today.

Send an e-mail to stardock support. It sounds like there is a registry file that hasn't been deleted, but I wouldn't know for sure.
