How To Uninstall AE?
Hi, first post here.
I was wondering how would I go about uninstalling the PC version of AE, since I need to reinstall it and it doesn't seem to come with an uninstaller. Or, if you could help me with the problem I'm having which needs me to uninstall it, I would be happy. The problem I'm having ingame is that whenever I pick up a stone and go to throw it, Abe just gives me the 'I dunno' pose. After I pick it up I can't get any more stones, and creating a new save doesn't help. If anyone could help me with either of these problems, I would be very pleased :) |
As for uninstalling, go to Start Menu -> Control Panel then select Add or Remove Programs. Once the list is populated, scroll down to Abe's Exoddus (or it might be labeled 'Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus, I don't remember), click on it and then press Uninstall.
NFI about the other problem. |
Thanks. I wouldn't have thought of that, since the Add/Remove programs usually launches the game's uninstaller for me.
EDIT: Anyway, it worked, so now I just have to install it again. Fingers crossed lol. EDIT 2: Tried to reinstall it, but the AutoRun won't launch. It did yesterday when the game was still installed, but now it doesn't. *Scratches head*. |
Is the disk okay, Is there any scratches or damage?
|
No, just 2 very slight scratches.
I think I've realised something. In My Computer, the disc is displayed as 'Abe's Exoddus Pl' I can't remember buying it with 2 discs, but is this a play disc? Because if it is, then I'm screwed because I don't know where my other disc is, if I have one. I've attatched a picture of what my Explorer says about the disc. |
PL? Isn't that Polish?
EDIT: Oh about the autorun, right click the drive then click [Open], then runn "setup.exe" or "install.exe" or something like that. |
Can't be Polish, I bought it from a store here in Britain, unless I've been tricked :P
Anyway, there's no install.exe or anything, just an autorun.exe, which no longer opens. I've got a feeling that this is a play disc :( |
Hmm how strange. Mabey you need to run it as Windows 98 / ME?
|
Didn't work either. I tried all of them, 95, 98/ME, Nt4, 200, but none of them worked :S
|
Perhaps if you copy all files to your hard disk then run it then.
|
I got my hopes up there. Kaspersky did the '___.exe placed into category low restricted' like it does when I run a program for the first time, but nothing happened when I transfered them to my HD :(

AE comes with two disks. From memory, Disk 1 has the installer on it and some of the game, whilst Disk 2 has the rest of the game.
