i think this is the most appropriate place in Pocket Planes/Weidu to post this topic so... o.o

before i started trying to reinstall SoA (not sure if patched) and ToB (patched) because of some glitches, i had these mods installed:

-- Weidu Ascension v1.4.17
-- Oversight v3
-- Unfinished Business v13
-- Virtue v15
-- Weimer Ease of Use v28
-- Weimer Underrepresented Items v2

so without uninstalling the mods first, i tried to uninstall ToB and found out the default uninstall mechanism doesn't work. i then uninstalled SoA (which went fine) and tried uninstalling ToB afterwards. still doesn't work. i then deleted the BG2 folder itself (which naturally includes all the undeleted mods) and all the ToB registry keys in regedit. re-installation of SoA went fine too by the way. so then i run ToB's autoplay panel, and it would invite me to "install", after which the install shield wizard will ask me this mind-numbingly stupid question: "do you want to UNinstall Throne of Bhaal blah blah blah". i'd click yes and then it would "uninstall" for me. and from that point on every time i try to "install" ToB it would ask me if i want to UNstall it!  >:(

so can anyone tell me what this loophole is all about and how to solve it, given the information above, which may or may not be of help? thanks.  :)

and once again. i don't want to format my hard drive. so please. :'(
