Hi,

while installing farcry the worst thing happend. My computer cut off. I turn it back on and it thinks that i have fully installed farcry. so i deleted the install directory and all shortcuts and removed it from the add&remove list. When i tryed to install the game again it comes up with a screen that comes up 3 options instead of just the normal install. The options are modify, repair or remove. I tryed doing all 3 and it gives me the same error everytime saying " Error:-1605 This action is only valid for products that are currently installed". Its like my computer thinks that I have it installed but when i try to modify, repair , or remove it , it says that its not installed. Can someone please help? thanx.

Just a couple of thoughts that may/may not help.

Search your registry for any remenants of Far Cry and delete them (all warnings and precautions go with messing with your registry.) Then reboot and try the install again.

If you have available Norton's Windoctor or something like that it may be able to clean up the fault.
