When I run the self-extractor for the UBI.com MP software I get the message:
UBI.com software already detected on this computer.
I used to have the software but deleted it.
There is no "ubi" related file anywhere to be found on my CPU.

I tried everything:
Reinstalling IL-2;
Try to "find" files with lots of keywords;
Download latest UBI MP software installer a couple of times, but still no result.

Need Help.

Many thanks in advance for any suggestion how to solve this problem, and be able to get the UBI.com MP software / messenger installed on my CPU.

Most likely it is still hiding in the registry. Do you know how to use the windows registry editor program? You'd need to delete all the references there. Although, I'm not sure what to search there for. Maybe "ubi".

**** CAUTION: BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL *****

when editing the registry, you CAN screw up your comp. badly enought to have to re-install the OS.

I agree.

*CAUTION! TAMPERING WITH YOUR REGISTRY CAN SCREW UP YOUR OS*

However, as long as you're doubly careful about what you 'actually' edit, you should be alright.

To access the registry click Start -> Run -> Type in 'regedit', hit Return or click Open.

Now, look for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
This directory contains information about the hardware and software settings that are generic to all users of this particular computer.
You should be able to see a directory called SOFTWARE. Basically, because you don't know what the specific Ubisoft Registry Keys are you will just have to hunt around for them.

I would suggest trying to get the Registry Keys off Ubi. Chances are though they won't know, so in that event just have a look around. Remember though, once you delete a registry key - that IS IT.

Bon chance mon ami.

Post if you need more help

Unless you've backed them up of course...

I uninstalled IL2, then checked in regedit and deleted all ubi keys.
After reinstalling I still get the message: UBI MP software is already installed on this machine.

Hi,

First, make sure ubi.com is uninstalled
(control panel\setting\add/remove programs\ubi.com\remove)

Then, check in the registry, under LOCAL_MACHINE\software\ubi soft, remove Game Service, but not Game Service Games, if it's there.

Try reinstalling the ubi.com software from the IL2 CD (cd drive:\GameService\GameServicefull.exe)

Tell me what happens.

When I go to control panel\setting\add/remove programs
there is no ubi program to remove.

I uninstalled IL2.

In the regedit LOCAL_MACHINE\software I deleted all ubi files.

So far, so good;

When installing IL2 again I still get the same message: "UBI software already installed on this computer".

Is there maybe a location where another UBI file may be placed outside of the
LOCAL_MACHINE\software folder?

^S^ Fritz!

I will try to spell this correctly as many will see my erors if I make any!! LOL

I forgot to mention in ICQ tonight, that when I deleted Ubi from the Microsoft Install/Uninstall Program, it left the Ubi folder in "Program Files", in Window Explorer. This will cause problems if not deleted manually.

I am sure you already did this, just trying to think of any ideas to help.

Not one spelling eror!

there is also a ubi folder placed during installation under your windows directory. Delete this and then reinstal the software.

Let me know.

S!
