'One or more expansion packs are installed'

[Lyra]

To cut a long story short, I ran out of hard drive space on one drive so started uninstalling to install on another.

But it won't let me uninstall The Sims 2. I get the message 'One or more expansion packs are installed. You must uninstall all expansion packs before uninstalling The Sims 2'.

All the expansions/stuff packs are uninstalled.

The registry has been cleared of all traces of expansions and stuff packs.

Why the hell can't I uninstall it?

rm -rf

Although what purpose deinstalling the game has is beyond me. What were you planning to replace it with?

[Lyra]

I was planning to reinstall it on another hard drive.

EDIT:Unix Command?

Oh, yes, I forget, your wimpy normal-people computers probably don't accept unix commands. I have no idea what the DOS equivalent is.

deltree isn't it?

[J. M. Pescado]

Don't think XP still has that one anymore.

Don't think XP still has that one anymore.

XP still has it, but you need to use rmdir in Vista.

Doesn't that only work on empty directories?
