Start Regedit and go to key
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersion\Uninstall".
Then search all subkeys (by hand) for "DisplayName" like Xpand Rally or similar. Delete the complete subkey (only this subkey!) and try to reinstall the game from the original CD/DVD again. If this will not help you... bad luck!

Warning: Do NOT delete anything else or your Windows might stop working!

Greetings,
DarkSoul

Cool Thanks DarkSoul

Thanks DarkSoul for your time and answer to my problem but I can`t still figure out what is wrong. At the same time I am afraid to do any changes to my registry.
Under address in registry which you suggested I did`t find any line with Xpand Rally but I have find 3 other subkeys in my whole registry with the line on rights side under DISPLAY NAME with Xpand Rally.
These subkeys addresses are as follow:
1.HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\1F634252385 97DA4AA1116A9FF9B5634

2.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Pr oducts\1F63425238597DA4AA1116A9FF9B5634

3.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVer sion|Installer\UserDate\S-1-5-18\Products\1f63425238597DA4A

Now I don`t know if that got anything to do with my problem.
Please could you give me your opinion any suggestions

With regards
PanJan

The second one looks good. Don't forget: You can export a key before you delete it. So if you can still not install the game you can import the key later again.

BTW: Have you the Xpand Rally MSI file on the cd? Usually you can doubleclick on it to start the installation and choose "repair". Maybe this works.
