What OS you on??
You need to go into Regedit and delete the registry entry for Benchmark Sims.
You know how to do that??

Actually go here for 4.33u1/3 https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?29456-Reinstall-Issue-quot-The-Registry-Issue-quot-U3&p=411137&viewfull=1#post411137

So does Dunc’s Clean_Public_BMS_4.32.zip on the first page no longer work for 4.33?
-
It is a different path in the registry for 4.33 and 4.33u1
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Benchmark Sims\Falcon BMS 4.32]
Now its
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Benchmark Sims\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1]

Ah, thanks for that info. Never had to use this so wasn’t aware of that change
-
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I have aged well beyond my years because of this.

I was simply able to recreate the folder on the old drive that it was on and it gave me the option of removing the program. Once I did this the program started as it should. Two days of screwing with this to finally get it to work.

Thank you

Old thread … but I just spent hour trying to figure out why I couldn’t reinstall 4.33 (after was corrupt by trying to uninstall Balkan’s theater???). The 4.33 Registry Cleaner worked like a charm. Thank you and Dunc so much!! :bowd:
-
That was it! Thanks so much!
