today i downloaded the foc patch now that wont work ether so i uninstalled them both i unninstalled them by going into my computer and deleting both the eaw and foc folders along with the rest of the files. rather than clicking uninstall
now when ever i try to install it it says
Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Empire at War\LaunchEAW.exe' make sure you typed the name correctly and try again. To search for a file, click the start button, and then click search.
so i need some help

Well, Windows still thinks the game's installed. You'll need to uninstall it - e.g. by using "system controls"/software. (I'm pretty sure it's not called system controls, however I don't know the English word - it's where you can make adjustements to all sorts of things, e.g. your installed hardware or the display)

Yeah, go to your control panel and then to add/remove programs and find empire at war on the list and say uninstall.
