Won't let me uninstall this game

from Stardock Forums

Keeps telling me

 

"Error

'GreatBritain' is not a valid short file name."

 

What is this garbage? I Deleted the files manually but It still wont get out of my add/remove program files application.

 

How do I remove this junk.

Obviously it's not working as intended. They get no extra money by keeping it installed on your comp.

I had a good chuckle.

Anyway, deleting the files out of their respective folders manually is a fairly bad solution; this will not remove the item from the Add/Remove List as the registry entry for your program is still present. You've removed the files from your Harddrive, so now you'll need to either reinstall the game and then uninstall it, however it still might not work. So, you'll need to manually remove them. Go here and here, follow those articles to manually remove the registry entries.

Best of luck!

I overlooked your Troll status to be helpful, and you continue to troll. Just leave. You're not welcome here.

No need for the color commentary. As noted, the OP can contact support (or Atari's if you bought at retail outside North America) and they will look into this issue.
