    I uninstalled Heroes of Might and Magic V Tribes of the East and it won't reinstall.

    I've deleted registry keys but every time I launch the autorun or the setup exe it opens the wizard and runs the uninstall process then it states everything has been uninstalled, but I cannot install still.

    I don't know if this is relevant but I have Vista.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Must be a registry issue. I know you say you checked, but it has to be a registry issue. There must be one with a weird name that you've missed.

    Does the game still show up on the list of installed programs in the Windows Control Panel?

    I checked and yes it does so I must have missed it.
    Thanks for the tip, I'll check one more time.:confused:

    Edit: problem solved. I wasn't thorough enough with the registry keys. Anyway you'd think they'd come up with a setup exe that works (never had that sort of problem with the first Heroes V or Hammers of Fate).

    Thanks a lot guys. :beer:
