Wanted to replay the Longest Journey on my Acer Windows 7 laptop. Something went wrong during install and now I'm trying to uninstall the game to start over and try installing again. But when I try to uninstall I get a message saying: "THe log file is not valid or the data has been corrupted. Uninstallation will not continue." Is there anything I can do??

If you have Revo Uninstaller Pro you can try a forced uninstall.

Gil.

Unfortunately, I don't.

Revo is free.
One place you can download Revo is ***here***.

Jenny,

Can you do a forced uninstall in the free Revo?

Gil.

From the Revo site, "Forced Uninstall" isn't listed except for the Pro (pay) version.

Do you really need Revo "Forced Uninstall?" or can you use Ccleaner?

Sometimes you can uninstall games with a corrupt uninstall by reinstalling them and then uninstalling them. Does the game allow you to install?

I've been using THIS programme for years.
And it's free.

I got a WOT (Web of Trust) severe unsafe website warning with that link, Mad.

I use to have problems uninstalling TLJ myself.
I use to install it again and then the uninstaller would work. I sometimes had to have the disc in the drive for it to uninstall also. I just clicked on Mads link and it is safe. No warnings on my end. Maybe you have your security set to high.
Good luck.

This is not a security setting, Cathy. This is Web of Trust, a browser add-on that rates websites for security. I wouldn't go on the internet without it. Mad's link got the lowest rating possible - Very Poor - in all four categories - Trustworthiness, Privacy, Vendor Reliability and Child Safety. freepcsecurity.co.UK rates it as "Site carries the risk of infection with viruses/‘driveby’ downloads/Trojans/backdoor bots, rogue programs (PUP’s)"

When I go to Gibinsoft.net, that page is rated as secure. http://www.gibinsoft.net/ Mad's link was to gibinsoft.com and that is rated as a malicious site. I notice it looks almost identical to the legitimate site. McAfee Site Advisor also rates Mad's link as a malicious site with malware downloads.

While I'm sure no one has downloaded anything from the malicious look-alike website, if you are interested in checking out WOT (Web of Trust), here is the (secure ) link. WOT

Hi TRacy Did you get TLJ uninstalled ?

All I can say is that I safely downloaded the programme from that site years ago.
And I've used the programme successfully many times.

And in all the time I've had access to the Internet, I've never had a virus or been invaded by malware.

And Norton classes it as safe.

Just make sure to use the gibinsoft.net website address, not gibinsoft.com. The dot com address is the one with malicious downloads.

No jenny. I downloaded that Revo and tried uninstalling all the components of the game from my computer, and it seemed to work. The little icon for TLJ is gone. But when I try to install the game again, a pop-up says "Uninstaller failed to initialize. you may be unable to UNinstall this game." Or something like that. Then it says the game has finished installing, but it hasn't even installed at all.

Sadly Cathy no. It may be hopeless, haha. I really wanted to play this game again.

Make sure the folder for the game has been deleted. Do it manually if you find it. Then run Ccleaner and "Scan for Issues" in the registry. You may be having problems because Windows 7 permissions blocked parts of the uninstall without letting you know. Be sure to right-click Revo and Ccleaner and choose to Run As Administrator. This is not the same as simply running from an account with Administrator privileges, though you may have to do that too.
