I'm trying to unistall Half-Life and keep getting the error message that my Unist.isu is corrupted and uninstall cannot continue. I've tried to uninstall thru add/remove and the registy, but get the same error.

then i guess u'll have to to it the hard way

delete the half life directory
open the registry using regedit.exe
search for "half life" and "halflife" (wo quotes) and delete those entries
also try searching for the name of the creaters of half life in the registry
u can get a program called tweakUI and it'll remove the listing of half life from the uninstall list
good luck

Yean number 1 is better, if you don't kow what your doing in the Registery, you could mess up your PC.

goto regedit.com they have a utility that will let you delete entries from the add/remove list ensuring that you goto the right key

I tried to reinstall Half Life and before installation actually begins, I get an error message saying that Uninstaller Setup Failed to Initialize" and I might not (will not) be able to uninstall this program.

Any other suggestions before I try "Response 2"?
