I just bought Halo 2 for PC today. During installation I accidently hit cancel. Now when I try to install the game it tells me i have "files missing or damaged in the installation directory". I couldn't uninstall the game because it wasn't fully installed yet. I went into the folder for the game and manually erased all the files. i went into add/remove programs and erased anything else I could find. I defragged my computer. I still get the same message of "files missing or damaged in the installation directory" when I try to install it. I know my computer is capable of handling the game and I'm running vista. Can anyone help because i can't think of anything else!!!! Thanks

If you can't uninstall and you can't reinstall then you have to.

ya, you need to contact microsoft. It is probably some registry file that keeps your H2V in limbo..
