Error 1001 uninstalling ps2 - Page 2

I'm going to wait till they sort it out properly. Till it's a clean uninstall with all the registry stuff going as well.

=) I second this idea =)

Maybe it turns out that no one eve played beta will be able to PS2 unless they reformat

Maybe the fix will be bouncing the login server up, to get a little update, so we can do a clean uninstall.

Plenty of time i suppose.

Thanks in advance.

What I did in windows vista x64:

Deleted the folder:
C:\Users\$USERNAME$\AppData\LocalLow\Sony Online Entertainment
(replace $USERNAME$ with the username you log in with)

Opened regedit.exe as administrator and searched for "planetside 2" and deleted all keys with the phrase in it. This removed it from the control panel uninstall etc.

Deleted the folder where I had installed the game.

Deleted all short cuts on desktop etc.

Then I started up my planetside 1 and saw that it still worked. ;-)

P.S. You can rename the folders instead of deleting them if you want to feel more safe. It is also possible to back up the registry before you modify it.

Having same issue with uninstall (error 1001), I really don't want/shouldn't have to manually take care of this. I'm not big on tinkering with registry keys either...

Isn't there an uninstall option in the launcher?

Or is this what people are talking about during their uninstall attempts. I haven't tried to uninstall it myself yet, but I'm going to see if the launcher still comes up and do it that way first, if it even makes a difference?

Evenguarde · 2012-11-17, 09:06 AM

Launcher doesn't have a option to uninstall, just a link to customer support, minimize and close button...

Beerbeer · 2012-11-17, 09:08 AM

I thought there was a little wrench button in the bottom left corner of the launcher?

Evenguarde · 2012-11-17, 09:11 AM

Gone Sir, at least on my launcher, checked yours yet?

Alox · 2012-11-17, 09:16 AM

I don't think it is really crucial to modify the registry. When you install planetside 2 next week it will be overwritten anyway. Most of the registry entries are just list of what programs you have run recently and search results and stuff - nothing important.

If you have the beta lingering in your control panel program list, follow this guide from microsoft to clean it out (see method 2):

Weird, my launcher is giving me a network connection error.

Evenguarde · 2012-11-17, 09:21 AM

Thanks Alox, I'll have to bookmark that, just wish I didn't have to do it the hard way.

FireWater · 2012-11-17, 10:46 AM

Eh I just deleted the game, all data, and edited the registry free of anything PS2 related.

Hopefully that works.

Honestly I think they should just include an uninstall process in the new launcher if it finds a beta copy on the system instead of relying on people to do it properly, or in this case, several people manually doing it and missing something important and then later to find out they can't play now because they screwed up because they were too impatient to wait for a solution. Really guys, uninstall it Tuesday. There's no rush...it'll still be there.

Its probably due to the fact the beta servers are down. My bet is when they bring up the production server it'll pickup and let you uninstall then. Give them time to provide a solution before screwing your system up. Follow their instructions they posted above and don't forget steps 3 and 4 (even if you get the 1001 error code):

3) Next delete the PlanetSide 2 Beta file located here: C:\Users\Public\Sony Online Entertainment\Installed Games.

4) Finally, delete the file npsoeact.dll from this location: C:\Users\(Your Account)\AppData\LocalLow\Sony Online Entertainment.

Note that it does not say to do anything with the registry. He even posts:

We'll have something to remove any registry entries for launch.

You screw with the registry you'll just mess with the launch install process. Personally I'm gonna wait till tuesday in the hopes of a better solution than a manual uninstall process...but i'm not holding my breath. Also if the beta is still there, it'll reserve the hard drive space so I don't use it (as if i need to worry about that).
