This implies a level of forethought and responsibility that history has shown we should not attribute to SOE.

There is a reasonable probability that all the architecture to interact with the beta launcher is gone now and the live launcher has already been built but is incompatible.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Uninstall\

This is where I found the Planetside 2 Beta entry that needed to be deleted to remove it from the list of installed programs (in Windows 7 Home Premium 64, but should be the same for anything XP and beyond). I manually deleted the rest of the files.

Instructions work for Vista, thanks.

I deleted the files in regedit which was good. I simply deleted the normal folder for the game and then in the uninstall screen they just gave me a choice to remove ps2 from the list.

As clean as it gets

Removing the directory takes care of almost everything related to PS2 (we had our engineers confirm it). The installer from launch will ensure nothing odd is left. Check IGA Catalogue and ALDI Catalogue.The last thing we want is folks not being able to play on Tuesday.

Sweet. Thanks for testing that.

Still can't uninstall. same error

At loss for words for what I should do...

Just delete the game folder...you dont need to uninstall it.

In the control panel after you delete, you will get an option to remove from list.

If you get the error get the beta installer again if you still have it hopefully you do if you boot it up it has an option to install fix or *Uninstall* and it works like a dream.

I had the PS2 beta installer. I used it to uninstall but i still got the error code 1001. So i started the installer again and just reinstalled/repaired it. After I opened the beta installer again I uninstalled and it worked like a charm. If you are wondering where your PS2 beta installer may be check your downloads folder, i hope this helps some of you. Just search downloads in the windows search box.

Thanks Radar. This is more reassuring. Hamma, did you put this in your "launch FAQ" sticky yet?

This worked just fine for me, thanks.

Right. I'll be doing that then and er....well.....hoping that's going to be the case on Tuesday.
