If you've never tried the RPG Hard To Be A God, I highly recommend it! It's based upon the novels by the Strugatsky Brothers, has a great story and some great gameplay.

BUT, having said that...
Upon getting my current computer, I installed it and played some before getting other, more up to date and demanding games to try out.
Earlier in the week I decided to pick it up again (having reached a stalemate / rage quit on a few other games) and realised I'd uninstalled it for some reason. On attempting a reinstall, I was met with the message that it's alreay installed. I checked, ran ccleaner, ensured no traces of the installation were present on mys system and tried once more.
Same thing again.
Restarted, ccleaned etc etc etc
SAME THING AGAIN!
Checked online, couldn't find anything useful other than "It may be related to the Tages copy protection" but nothing of any real use.
I've uninstalled / reinstalled on my previous rig and that was fine, so I'm at a bit of a loss as to what the hell to try - I've even checked the registry and found no traces of either Tages or the Game.
Can anyone help me get this great game running again - or at least make it certain it's dead in the water for me right now?!
Running Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit if that helps - all other specs above required.
SOLUTION:
Open regedit.exe (I go through the task manager), goto "Edit" then "Find", type "Burut" and delete the registry entries it finds for you.
