Whenever I try to uninstall either by clicking the .exe in the game folder or by doing it through apps and features this windows pops up telling me "this app can't run on your pc".

I'm using Windows 10. Any fix for this?

Thanks.

This happens because MBG is so old that the uninstaller is a Windows NE program and doesn't run on 64-bit versions of Windows. Your best bet is to delete the game's install directory (likely in Program Files). There is a chance that some uninstaller programs could remove it, but I haven't tested any.

This signature is real code
Code:
function clientcmd12dothepq() { commandToClient(LocalClientConnection, '34onthedancefloor'); }

I've tried deleting the folder but it would still show up in apps and features. Trying to uninstall it with the folder deleted gave me an error and wouldn't let me remove it from the list, restoring the folder gave me the "this app can't run on your pc" again.
My solution was to restore windows to an autosaved point to the previous day.

I copied the game folder into an usb drive before restoring windows, and I can now play it without even having it installed.
