Batman AA

[Ruups2]

Hi,
When I installed Batman Arkham Asylum(BAA) through BAA Installation Wizard, I interrupted the install. So I tried to uninstall BAA, uninstall was not successful. So, deleted BAA from registry and deleted the installed files.
Now, when I try to re-install BAA, I don’t get the Install Game option highlighted in the BAA installation wizard. So not able to install game. I have cleaned the registry using ‘Registrt Aid’ and ‘Ccleaner’, still not able to install.
Need your assistance in installing BAA.

[Lordbob75]

Try removing Batman AA, delete all its folders, then do a registry cleaning. Then reboot.

Failing that, a system restore may help.

system restore ? cant say that i know what that is . (dont get mad) im not english or anything .

I cant find all the folders i think . i only find the Eidos folder . i delete it but nothing happens
how do i do a registry cleaning ?

If you type "system Restore" into the start menu and press enter you should be able to restore your system to a time before you installed BAA.
I would still seek out and remove every trace of it before doing that as well.
Hope this helps, john

i cant see a time that far .
i can only see .. 23.12.2009 day .
PS. whats a registry cleaning ?

 

[johnwillyums]

Opinions vary widely as to whether registry cleaners are recommended for Windows 7 so hold on with that.

I would download and install Revo Uninstaller. Run that and see if there are any traces of your Batman install left and remove them.

Isn't it likely that the date in system restore is when you first installed Batman AA?
If it is, or is before you installed the game go ahead and restore to then.

It might help if you filled out your full specs.

Hope this helps, john

In your first post you mentioned ccleaner. That includes a registry cleaner which I've often used without problem.

 

[Ruups2]

Revo didn't detect anything .
In ccleaner there was nothing related to batman i think .

 

[johnwillyums]

Ok. So it looks like there is no need to do a system restore, although it would not do any harm..
I recently installed Batman AA and I had to also install Windows Live but that was indicated to me in the install procedure.
Have you tried installing it again?
Let us know where you are up to. J

 

[Ruups2]

reinstalling games for windows live didnt help .

 

[Ruups2]

sorry , had to but something here so that it would come back to 1 page .
sorry .. but i really need help .

 

[johnwillyums]

Don't be sorry Ruups. I'm sorry I didn't get back to you but I've been busy over the holiday and I imagine so have a lot of others

You may get some more suggestions from others now.

Is the system restore date you mentioned before the date you first tried to install the game?

I would imagine it is. If so try a system restore to that date and see if that helps. J

PS Happy New Year for tomorrow

I would also try the system restore, it should tell you when you look at a date what programs it will affect, if it says batman may be removed then thats a good one to try. If you've installed anything else or made any system changes or driver updates since then though it will also affect those.

 

[Ruups2]

the date is after the install ..
happy new year to you too

 

[jim84]

There is only one date available on your system? You should be able to chose previous restore point and look at others.

Happy New Year. And good luck, Batman is a great game.

 

[Ruups2]

batman is a great game i know . have played it at a friends house .
yeah it's weird .. can only see ..
30/12/2009
28/12/2009
27/12/2009 . and the install was way before that . it was quite long ago ..the install was at 22/12/2009
there is a button
Show more restore points
but when i press it nothing happens .

Hmmm... My copy of AA is from Steam, so I had a different (probably easier) installation... Some other thoughts might be to try and run the installer as administrator, or in a vista compatibility mode? Try to install with windows in safe mode?

Sorry those are my only ideas, hopefully someone can help you get this working.
