Hi,
after some time I wanted to fly the Spit again, but the a/c loaded itself into a continuous turning, climbing and descending status from which it would not recover. I tried rebooting and doing it again, no change. The screen turns red and the aircraft destroys itself. Same happens if I load another plane first and then switch into the Spit.
I then decided to reinstall the plane. I uninstalled the Spit via Windows Software Uninstall, which seemed to work. But now I cannot install the Spitfire anymore. I get the "there is another version of this product installed" message and the installation stops.
I deleted all files/folders about the Spitfire I could find, rebooted but still the aircraft does not install.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Re: Spitfire cannot be reinstalled
I've had a look in the registry and it seems as if A2A don't put anything in there so, that's my prime suspect free to go. How about C:\Users\Snorre(?)\Documents\A2A\P3D?

Thanks Ron, I deleted all these folders. I let CCCleaner check and clean the registry, nothings helps.

Hi Gunter,
I should be able to point you to a post in the beta forum to help with this one - let me do a bit of digging.
However, please can you let me know the file version of the installer you're using? (i.e. if you right click the .exe file, select "properties" and then "details".)
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,
thanks for your help. I downloaded the installer on Sunday, it reads 18.4.30.0

Re: Spitfire cannot be reinstalled
Okay, thanks Gunter.
Are you happy with manually deleting registry keys? In the case of the Spitfire, the one to search for and delete using Windows Registry Editor is this one:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\678CCAD650BCD724BBA74941F86E6CC0
Cheers,
Nick

Re: Spitfire cannot be reinstalled
Good stuff Gunter - thanks for the update. Not sure what happened in your case, but CCleaner or AV software would be the most likely culprits for messing with the registry or preventing the installer from accessing it.
Cheers,
Nick
