Can't uninstall Company of Heores

[yankee529]

I installed the patches in the wrong order and now the game starts up to the main menu but when i click on skirmish or campaign the game crashes. So i clicked on start (in windows) went up to COH and clicked uninstall, it appeared to do so, so i tried to install the game again but the game never uninstalled. It still won't work, i've tried installing a patch again but it tells me that the game is already uninstalled and when i try to re-install the game it says the games uninstalled. I emailed their support and they sent me this

Thank you for contacting THQ Technical Support.

It sounds like your registry may have become corrupt. We suggest that you do a
Google search using the phrase "Can't uninstall" or "Cannot uninstall." This
will bring up some useful information/instructions to help you with this issue.

Fuck the official support, they're obviously idiots! (But don't be surprised, this is the same with most other publishers, too...) Run "regedit", search for the words "thq", "coh", "heroes". The game's settings are most probably at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\THQ\CompanyOfHeroes or a similar key. Delete it and try re-installing the game now.

(If you don't know how to use the Registry Editor, ask for help. If you mess up something, Windows might not work correctly anymore!)
