O.T Jedi Knight Jedi Acedemy

I realize this group doesn't deal with this but please bear with me.

I have a Dell Dimension 8200 SP2 with XP, a 140gb hard drive with
132gb free space and 1024 RAM and Jedi Knight, Jedi Academy is the
only game I have installed on my system.

Recently, I decided to uninstall it which I did, or thought so.
However when I check the Add/Remove programs it's still there. I
checked the Recycle bin and there was a Jedi folder there so I clicked
restore, but the problem is that it won;t let me do anything now.
Whenever I insert the disk it gives me this message:

Assertion Failed:" LecSetup_GetSetup(g_Env["DataDir"],&m_plecSetup)"!

File: Source\lfx_System.cpp
Line: 231

Abnormal Termination.
Select Retry for environment dump.

When I go back into Add/Remove proframs and try to remove it it says:

An installation support file could not be installed.
The System cannot find the file specified.

I have removed it from my system before and didn't encounter any of
these problems.

Can anyone help me either to restore it or to remove it from my
system?
Thanks,
Robert

There any number of utilities that will do what you want.

Download and install CCleaner.

Look under the TOOLS area

As PD43 said, Yahoo / Google for an Uninstaller prog to get rid of it and
make sure you delete anything that's left in the reg files too or maybe
these progs can do that for you. I use this:
http://www.winnertweak.com/uninstaller/


God Bless... :-)

I'd be a little cautious about that, in view of the number of snake-oil
products out there. Better to find someone who knows a reputable product.

I tried this and it gave me the same error message it did when I tried
uninstalling it from the Add/Remove programs.

Did you even LOOK at any of the entries in the list I provided, you
idiot?

I did use the Delete Entry option and as I said it gave me the error
message:

An installation support file could not be installed.
The System cannot find the file specified.


I just tried it again and now it says:

This will remove the uninstall entry from the registry. It will not
uninstall the application. Are you sure you want to do this? I
clicked cancel.

I want to uninstall the program or restore it and I can't do either!

You said that you DID uninstall it... and that the entry was still
there.

Did you try the uninstaller the other replier suggested?

If that doesn't work, you could always go into the registry and look
for every entry for "Jedi" or "Jedi Academy"... and take your chances
deleting those entries.

When you're all done, if the entry is STILL there, then delete it from
the listing.

Thanks but I don't like playing 'Russian Roulette' with my system
registry.

If you don't know what you're doing, then it's probably better that
you don't play with it. I'm comfy doing that.

Yes I did try unistalling and it gives me this:

An installation support file could not be installed.
The System cannot find the file specified.

No matter what I try to do to either uninstall or re-install or run
the game, and delete with CCleaner I keep getting error messages and
nothing works. I've posted this in other groups as well and no one
seems to have an answer.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, it did it! and I was able to insert
my Jedi Knight, Jedi Academy disk and it came up normally! Too Cool

I then went into Add/Remove to delete Smarty Uninstaller since I felt
I didn't need it anymore. It came back saying it couldn't delete
everything but that I could do so manually, which I did.

I appreciate everyones help and just knew I would find the solution
here.

Again, many
thanks,
Robert
