I was uninstalling Custom Edition from my computer, and it seemed fine, but then I checked My Computer, and it was still in the Microsoft Games folder. I tried deleting it from there, but it said that it couldn't uninstall binkw32.dll. Anyone know what's wrong?

So delete it yourself, manually. Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs. If that fails, just delete the entire folder yourself in Explorer

I tried, it doesn't show up in the Control Panel, and the folder won't delete becuase of the binkw-thingy.

I'm asking becuase it won't install becuase it says "Binkw.dll is already in use."

Restart your PC. Try deleting it again.

I'll try it.

BTW, binkw isn't the only thing that won't delete, there are several other things.

You're welcome. I knew it would work because whenever I get that "You cannot delete this file because it's already in use." when I don't have any programs running that file, I restart my PC because it closes down any program that I might have overlooked that was using the file at that time, so then I can delete it after restarting.
