Actually... This "bug" (Rather a feature) is somewhat REQUIRED.
If I remember well, these InnoSetup custom installers use the game's registry keys to detect if it's installed or not. It's a surprise that autorun haven't enabled UNINSTALL instead of INSTALL this time...

Anyway, in all (or nearly all) times it happens with Peterf's conversion, it's because people FORGET to uninstall the game after test the installer. But sometimes even the original installer left some "leftovers" to be manually deleted. So it's recommended you:
- Use Revo Uninstaller or similat tool to uninstall the game, instead of the original uninstaller;
- Use cCleaner's registry cleaner to temove these "registry" leftovers;
- And, for games with .MSI (Or .MSI-based) installers, The Windows Installer Clean Up is what you need.



Alternatively, buy a DVD9 Media and do the backup. Lot less hassle, much more easier. ¬¬
