Hello young Wizard!

I spoke to our most Senior Wizards and the told me that the following steps should fix your problem:

1. The InstallShield GUID for Wizard101 is {A9E27FF5-6294-46A8-B8FD-77B1DECA3021}. Please note this for future steps.
2. Using the Windows Explorer file browser, browse to your Program Files folder (usually C:\Program Files).
3. Make sure hidden files and folders are being displayed:
a. In XP navigate Tools->Folder Options
b. Click the View tab, find where it says "Hidden files and folders"
c. Click the button next to "Show hidden files and folders" if it isn't already selected.
d. Click OK.
4. Browse to the hidden folder named "InstallShield Installation Information"
5. Locate the folder with the same name as the Wizard101 GUID mentioned in step 1. The first 4 characters should be sufficient to distinguish it from the others.
6. Delete that folder.
7. Run Wizard101Setup.exe to install the game. Try to select the same target folder as was used for the previous corrupted install.

Sincerely,
Mr. Lincoln
