Hello MWO forums. I played this game from the closed beta and I have collected a lot of mechs over the years. I unfortunatly had to uninstall the game to free up some harddrive space, but I uninstalled by going to the folder in windows and manually deleting everything in that folder. Not the correct way to uninstall I know. Anyways, when I try to install the game fresh, the installer says "Game already installed" There must be somerhing left on my computer that is preventing the game from being installed. Saying it's installed but it's not installed.

I haven't played the game recently, and I want to see all the clan mechs and stuff that has been added to the game since I stopped playing. Someone help!

tell it your having problems installing mech warrior online and it should clean up the registry for you.

let me know if that doesn't work, there is more we can do. they have switches you can use on the installer to get a log file generated that will tell you what its looking at.
