Can't reinstall Town Life 5005:0x80070002

THANKS THIS IS GREAT

While debugging the no bump if longer pregnancy mod in problem, I tried without awesome mod, I had already tried without anything else, and stupidly forgot to put another nocd in.
So I was blocked, uninstalled Town Life and reinstalled, then realized bits of the other packs were missing, and uninstalled everything except Town life wouldn't.So I did a complete manual uninstall.
I followed manual uninstall instructions, looked everywhere in the registry and system for key {7B11296A-F894-449C-8DF6-6AAAA7D4D118}, can't find anything, and it still tells me I can't install. I have twice managed to reinstall everything, had to battle for Generations until I found a key in uninstaller, but not Town Life, I have the latest patch.
 And I've tried revo uninstaller, wasn't any help.
 Any new ideas? I have vista 32

Aww, don't listen to kissing_toast.  You just need to clear your registry--uninstall everything again, go delete C:\WINDOWS\system, but make sure you delete system32, or this will fuck up your computer.

sarsbar, your just as bad as Kissing_toast, if you goto start run and put in regedit, go find where the sims 3 folders is and delete the folder you wish to uninstall or reinstall.

Why hello there rider, I see you've decided to commune with one of the greater tards today, that you may learn their ways.

sarsbar, you're just as bad as Kissing_toast.  Go to start->run, put in regedit, go find where the sims 3 folders are and delete the folder you wish to uninstall or reinstall.
Now I'm nearly out of ink in my Red Smiting Pen.

Also, your instructions do not work on Vista, as there is no start-> run.

Kissing_Toast: please don't shit on legitimate questions.

There's a search bar at the bottom of the start menu in Vista and 7, so I can just type in the name of the program I need to run and it immediately comes up.

Or you could go into Customize and add the Run command.

There is a start/run, you just have to choose it to appear in options. As I said I looked in regedit and took out everything I found, using the English name, the French name, the guid name. Did the same in C, and could reinstall everything but Town Life which still gives me the "finish the installation first" error when I want to install. Add/remove did a botched job, and I'm stumped.

Who do you think we are? EA customer support?
In any case, you screwed up your computer. So backup what you need and reformat.

I'm asking people who have knowledge, as I've been helped here many times over the years, but it seems to be silly season and "the less I have to say, the louder I'll say it' season.

Congratulations on fucking up your registry. Next time don't delete random keys unless you know what you're doing.

I offer you genuine advice (which is actually against MATY regulations) and you ignore it.
And Narmy is right, you screwed up your registry. Well done.

It's not against the rules to help. It's frowned upon when the questions been asked and answered, that's when the only advice should be lurk moar or you're doing it wrong. Usually when you go to help someone they want you to hold their hand, like this MacTard, or they see your help as not the answer they were looking for or you being snarky, like in this case. IndiaTard has pretty much fucked up everything and anything it can in it's game, there's no help for this one.

Yeah, there's a reason your desktop doesn't have a "regedit" icon on it.

My computer is fine, there is a rogue Town Life file hiding somewhere that I can't find.

Considering that multiple people have tried to help you and you just stamp your little feet and pout because they're not telling you what you want to hear, I suggest you stop wasting EVERYONE ELSE'S time with YOUR useless babbling.

Telling me to erase my windows files, insulting me, telling me to reformat, behaving like 12 year-old bullies, that's helping???

That's what they do here, Indiasong. Be wary of any "advice" from - well, I'm sure you know who. Silly little boys, they think it's funny.

ETA

Have you read anything I said? Do you know anything about computers?

Actually I just realised what they are doing. They must all work for EA's Tech Support.
