Battlefield Vietnam

This might be off topic but i need help.
a while ago i installed a backup version of bfv but one of the discs didn't work so i had to uninstall manually.
the problem is i have now bought the game and tried to install, but the pc still thinks the game is on already.
i have done a search for anything to do with bfv on my hd and deleted whatever was found.
i have also used ashampoo suite and removed any redundant files and cleaned the registry.
the game still wont install.
a friend at work said it could be a dll file in the registry that needs removing but there are 1000's on my hd. how do i know which one to delete, is there an easy way of sorting this problem?

You pirated the game and come here for help?
Its good that you're attempting to go legit.

Contact EA for support, its their software stopping you from installing.

There is a page on the EA tech site that tells you how to uninstall BFV completely and correctly for just such a case.

Go there, find it, follow the instructions and re-install. Voila.

Sure, we think you're a loser for pirating the game..but at least you've come clean and purchased it now and that makes you worthy of our support

Remove the game from Control Panel -> add remove programs.

Download regseeker v1.35:
http://www.hoverdesk.net/freeware.htm

Run it to clean your registry.

Manually erase the Programs Files -> EA Games -> Battlefield 1942 directory

All set... Reinstall
