trouble installing Oblivion

[silbergeist]

The install would ask for a setup.isn (or .ins file One of the 2 can't remember, .ins for install, i would guess) and to insert disk one. I only got one DVD and was convinced that it was the disk since it would not install on my laptop or my other rig either. I also noticed I could not view any of the files by exploring the disk except for the autorun file. This post has already been helpful because curiously enough, I have roxio installed on all 3.

However, I still don't know what to do to keep roxio from blocking my install. I have decided to just uninstall and reinstall after I install oblivion, but will it block me from playing after i reinstall? guess i'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

That brings me to my next problem. Due to my first attempt, every time I try to install it actes like I already did and gives me a title menu, with the "play" and uninstall options. I can't play because it didn't really install, when I try to uninstall it just exits the menu. I have searched my drive for bethesda\Oblivion files...nix on those, its not listed in my programs either. I assume that means it's in my registry, but I haven't the first clue how to edit that.

Any thoughts?

Have you tried to close the program to see if it helps or not? I think that's what Slade did or something along the lines. Sorry I can't be of much help here as I've never used Roxio before.

To completely remove Oblivion from your registry, click the 'Start' button and look for the 'Run' tab. Type in 'regedit' into the box and you'll be forwarded to a registry editor folder. Look for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. In that folder, search for a 'SOFTWARE' folder. In there, you'll be able to find the install folder for Oblivion. delete the whole install folder and you've totally removed Oblivion from your system.

go to control panel hit add or remove programs. then click on add new programs on side bar, then add program on cd-rom with disk in.

good luck and which roxio?

I think the answer to this dilemma was already solved, long ago in fact as this thread is a year and a half old almost.
