The only way i know of is to delete it from the registry using regedit, which will make your computer think it isnt installed, allowing you to delete the folder and re-install.

I read somewhere else on these forums where you need to look and what needs to be removed. Try a search for 'registry'.

You have to delete the hive HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Activision\Vampire Bloodlines

from the registry, and then delete the folder:
C:\Program Files\Activision\Vampire - Bloodlines

That should allow a clean install.

P.S. That will wipe out any indication that the game was ever installed, so any and all patches and so forth are gone, too.

Ok I'll have an answer on what happens by tomorrow.
