How to remove WOG?

Unread postby how786 » 08 Feb 2006, 23:44

How do I remove WOG? It does not appear to have an uninstall program and does not show up in 'add/remove programs'.
Thanks
How

You're right in that it doesn't have a removal program. You'll need to uninstall "all of" Heroes 3, manually remove any leftover files, and reinstall H3 if you only wish to remove WoG.

Doesn't WOG install all of its stuff in a separate subdirectory of Heroes3? Aside from the executables for the new game and map editor, couldn't you simply delete the WOG folder?

Unofficial WoG FAQ (excerption)

Where I can get it all?
* WoG d/l sites!

After installing WoG can I still use original non-modified version of HoMM?
* Yes, but because source files are shared these will be modified. That's why is recommended to install WoG into copy of your Homm3 folder.

How test the downloaded WoG archive integrity?
*All files with wog extensions are in fact rar archives. So you may use anything capable to test the rar files, best will be, of course, winrar. (.wog=.rar)

How to install WoG?

. Download WoG.

. Change your regional settings to english (not keyboard, regional settings from Control Panel)

. Check that you have installed Homm3 Complete or SoD with AB pack. Though it will works without AB too.

. Copy the folder with the HeroesIII and rename it.

. Launch WoG installer, choose the copy of H3 which you had create in the previous step.

. Choose language: English/Russian

. Wait, because progress bar will not show anything. You will be prompted when game will be succesfully installed.

. Enjoy WoG


& How to unistall the WoG
* remember how you had created a new folder for it? Simply delete it.

Doesn't it leave anything in the registry that needs cleaning?

8| Cleaning for a few harmless lines of saved settings?

But yes, you may if you really wish for.... just go to the
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\New Life of Heroes]

and cut it out. :S
