Uninstalled VB now can't install it.

Post by Don Corleone »

I accidentally deleted the entire drive which was being used for virtual box on my windows 7.
Then i tried to uninstall it , unable to do so I used revo pro uninstaller to uninstall it .
As of now it shows no traces of "oracle VM virtualbox".
Then i tried to install it , however while trying to install the location of installation appears as "g:\vb " which is the path of original installation . and when i choose to change the directory i am unable to do so and the installation process finishes .


How can I install virtualbox again ?
I am using win 7 64 bit .

MSI installer is obviously still finding remnants of previous installations remaining in the Windows Registry. You need to find and delete those.
