How do i get Alcohol 120% to reinstall? I used to have an old old version of this program, then expired and i uninstalled it. Now almost a year later i wanted to try it out again to see if i like it enough to buy it but i keep getting some weird error code saying i cant install it.

Any reg cleaners or some util to help clean this out of my registry? i tried to manually get rid of it and got everything out of the reg that i culd, but it still says it will not install (error code 21xxx cant remember the code)

any ideas??

It's in the registry somewhere and what you're doing is against their TOS. You can only try it out once, after the trial period is over, you should pay. It's worth it, its a nice piece of software.

Ok, say i just buy the full version of alcohol 120%. THen what? I try to install it and get the error code during install of the full version. Now im totally stuck and just spent $ 54.65 USD Latest Version: 1.9.2.1705

I understand companies want to protect against stealing their software but this is a bit much

If it's telling you that you can't install because you've used your trial, you can clean it with a registry cleaner and try again (which may or may not be unethical).

If it's a true Windows error, then you need to post the exact error so we can help you further.

What exactly are you using the program for? There are some free apps that do about the same thing.

i find it easier to use and more powerful than Daemon Tools.
