Title: DSL and Stock simultaneously
Post by: Condor33 on May 10, 2009, 08:38:42 AM: I installed Gigafrost Edition on my stock RA2 and then tried to install Starcore over it later on, which resulted in breaking both of them. I deleted the stock RA2 folder, and tried to re-install it with the disk, and it REFUSES to install. It always wants to uninstall something, but I don't know what. Can anyone help?

I would suggest getting a Registry modification program (like CCleaner) and removing the Robot Arena 2 registry entry manually, then you will be able to reinstall. Don't uninstall your DSL version however...

Then you might keep a backup of a fresh Stock version of RA2 for the future, and it would be good to make that backup a .RAR or .ZIP.

EDIT: Never mind, I just backed up my robot designs and did a reinstall. Blah.
