Reinstalling Issue: "The registry entry…"
-
Not wishing to point out the obvious, but adding it to the Programs and Features list and making the key removal part of the uninstall may be an idea you’d like to consider. Then it would be a professional install.
Just a thought, take it or leave it.
….
It IS on the program list… the uninstaller works just fine to remove the registry entries…
Did you even installed BMS ?
I’m starting to think you have some kind of old version of Falcon and spamming all of this forum for nothing.
I’m curious as what do you think you know to call an install “professional”. Its not because you took Computer Science 101 that you suddently know everything, man…

I’ve been a professional software engineer for 12 years and I know I don’t know everything.

Troll…… perhaps?

I tried re install the 4.33, but this error message show. I ran this reg key , but the problem remain.The regedit list no contain this path.
What should I do to setup 4.33 again?I solved the problem. I edited the reg file the correct version of Falcon and merged in geristry.

I am having this issue, I goofed up and deleted the BMS directory and Falcon 4.0. Now I get this error, I have search the HKLM>Software for anything Benchmark Sim related and can’t find anything any help with this would be appreciated.
EDIT: I may have fixed it by just recreating the directory that it was looking for RIFF
Thanks,

I am having the same issue. I have tried everything and still no luck. I have tried the cleanup with new name 4.33, I have looked in the registry yet there is no benchmark sims folder of any sort. I have deleted all game content to try to reinstall. Any suggestions?
EDIT: I had to recreate the folder it was looking for in the directory before the setup would launch. I think I fixed it.

Hi,
I had the same problem on a Win7 64 bit.
Using the search function of REGEDIT with “falcon bms 4.33”, I found and delete a “benchmark sims” folder in “HKey_local_machine\software\wow6432node”
After that, i was able to reinstall 4.33 without error message.
Hope it can help. -
I cannot find that Hkey… I cannot install the BMS4.33 again
-
ok so that cleaner fixed the 4.32 version but i cant get the 4.33 version to reinstall is there maby a fix for this as well ?
-
Here is a copy of the Clean reg entry for 4.33 until tired Dunc gets around updating the first post.
PS: out dated file version removed

I did the removal and re-installation the hard way:
I looked for the uninstall a program routine for Falcon BMS 4.33 in Control Panel, but did not find it there.
I deleted the installation folder and tried to re-install, but got the message about the registry key problem.
I searched the registry for the Benchmark Sims string, deleted it, and the re-installation went well.
However, if you re-run the original Falcon BMS 4.33 Setup executable, in the setup folder (not installation folder) it will give you the choice to install or remove.
Not standard Windows program removal procedure, but there it is.

Interesting, there should be but on checking I only see 4.32 In “Programs and Features”

It was removed to stop people uninstalling the wrong way, cocking up their registry and then posting on the forum, expecting people to bail them out of the mess they’ve created.
Not much you can do if people just manually delete their install :sad:
I just wish these people would open a manual first. The BMS Manual has very clear chapters (with screenshots) explaining how to install and how to uninstall, what to do and what not to do, how to set up and configure the sim and how to use it, precisely to spare people this kind of pain.
I guess some just prefer to learn the hard way {sigh}.

Always. Read the first post in this thread:
This message comes up if you e.g. simply deleted the BMS folder instead of using the proper uninstall method (using the normal setup program), or if something went wrong during the uninstallation process.
There was nothing aggressive in my post, disappointment yes, but that’s only natural. We put so much effort into the new manuals precisely to help less committed or experienced Falconeers avoid making mistakes which would cost them time and enjoyment of this great sim.

Ok appearently you just put the registry in the same folder in your installer app.
Question: why is this forum so dead, its like a graveyard in here.
