Installation/Uninstallation Issue - Already Installed

End Result: I would like to have Revit Suite 2012 installed completely with no issues.

 

What I have done:

I have contacted Autodesk for a prior issue, turns out I made it Stand Alone License instead of Network License which I have.  They said I needed to uninstall and reinstall.  I started uninstalling and the uninstall failed.  Now I try either Installing with the CD, and it says it is already installed, or I try to uninstall and it says it has Failed again...How do I wipe the system clean, so that I can try installing the software again?  What are the steps I need to take to get rid of everything the first install put on?

 

I have went to REGEDIT and deleted the REVIT folder under HKEY_USER\SOFTWARE\AUTODESK etc.  I have also went to Program Files on C: drive to delete REVIT.  What else am I missing to delete, so I can fully uninstall - to reinstall?

 

If at all possible I would like to keep my AutoCAD 2012 in place, so I don't have any down time with this program.

 

Thank you for your time.

Hi,

 

You can refer to the Registry locations listed in this post to find where Windows Installer tends to leave behind product install information:

Please remember that is is strongly recommended to back up the registry prior to making any modifications.

 

Please let me know how it goes, thanks!
