How To Uninstall AE?

[TheAdmiester]

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.

[TheAdmiester]

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?

[TheAdmiester]

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.

[TheAdmiester]

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

[joshkrz]

Hmm how strange. Mabey you need to run it as Windows 98 / ME?

[TheAdmiester]

Didn't work either. I tried all of them, 95, 98/ME, Nt4, 200, but none of them worked :S

[joshkrz]

Perhaps if you copy all files to your hard disk then run it then.

[TheAdmiester]

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.
