I get these errors when attempting to uninstall Oblivion:

Suggestions for fixing this problem?

I got some error when I uninstalled one time.. I forget what it was but other people were getting the same error.

You can just delete the oblivion folder and delete oblivion keys in registry. That is what I did.

ES addresses this issue on their site. Pop in the CD/DVD, browse to the drive, run the setup.exe, then cancel it. Try uninstalling again and it should work just fine.

Agreed...

I'm having the exact same problem, and following the instructions on the ES site didn't do anything for me...

Anyone else got some ideas?

PS Gotta love it when the [H] forum is like second or third google hit.

Occasionally, attempting to uninstall Bethesda Softworks' 'Oblivion' will result in the following error message, and fail:

>SetupDLL\SetupDLL.cpp (390)
PAPP:Oblivion
PVENDOR:Bethesda Softworks (http://www.bethsoft.com)
PGUID:35CB6715-41F8-4F99-8881-6FC75BF054B0
$11.0.0.28844
@Windows XP Service Pack 2 (2600) BT_OTHER 376.21

This will then follow up with an InstallShield error -5001. This is caused by one of the .dll files used by InstallShield for the Oblivion installer going missing. The missing file is:

C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{35CB6715-41F8-4F99-8881-6FC75BF054B0}\_setup.dll

which should be 144KB in size, file version 11.0.0.28844, Macrovision Corp.

Included in this zip is a copy of this file. Simply copy it to the above directory, and the uninstall process should complete normally.
