Post patch crash and uninstall problem

[17pounder]

Ah. manually deleted the whole folder, shut down and rebooted then attempted a reinstall of the CD version. The install locked up at 97% and then required a reboot (ctrl/alt/del did nothing). Again the missing uninstall shortcut, but still visible in the folder. As only 97% install game won't run. Looking in add/remove programs, I can see WinSPWW2v1 CD edition and WinSPWW2 Ver 1.1b (odd!).(Avoid trying a remove here, it really upsets the Registry!)There are 2 files in the WINSPWW2 folder vcl50.bpl and vclx50.bpl that may be to do with it, but I have no idea what they do.Clearly, the uninstaller didn't remove some element that then messes with a new install. Its a shame, I did enjoy game when it ran!
