Sorry, but you cannot re-install Halo Custom Edition...I guess Gearbox left it out?
Just copy and paste your maps and profiles to somewhere else, un-install and install again.

What I would do is go to control panel click add/remove programs and then completely delete both halo and halo ce……then re-install both halo and halo ce……I don’t know if that will help but it is the only thing I can think of……good luck man….=)

Yeah, you'll have to remove the whole thing. It's the only solution I can think of. And un-installing is more efficent than re-installing, so just try that first. Back up your CE files such as the installation file, maps, and other special things you might have there, and keep them out of your CE directory when you un-install!

For pc, that is easy. Merely go to my computer, local drive, program files, microsoft games, halo, and look for the UNINSTAL file. Double click it, it will give you the option to reinstall. For CE, a little more work is involved. If you have maps that you downloaded in hte maps folder, you need to cut every one of those maps folders to a new folder anywhere. Then go to add/remove programs in control panel. Reinstall halo ce if you still have the original ce download itself. If not, download again, install, get update, make sure you get updates for pc halo as well when you reinstall, and when ce is all good, move all the map folders that you cut out before, and put them all back in the ce maps folder. If you dont have backups of those maps when you delete and install ce anew, those maps will be gone, so make sure you have either copies, or you cut them to another folder. Basically what Micro said but with more detail.

Happy Octopus, on what basis do you say you cant, and calling Micro an @$$hole? Hmm?
