Open up your registry (start -> run -> regedit -> ok) and navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall Now, there should be a bunch at the start with random strings of characters. Look at each one until the DisplayName string on the right says "GTAIII". When you have found that one rename the key (icon is like a folder icon) on the left that looks like {whatever} to something else. Run the installer again and it should allow you to install. I presume this method will allow you to have multiple installs as well. ------------------

Okies, I have *just* found what the installer looks for. Open up your registry (start -> run -> regedit -> ok) and navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall

Now, there should be a bunch at the start with random strings of characters. Look at each one until the DisplayName string on the right says "GTAIII". When you have found that one rename the key (icon is like a folder icon) on the left that looks like {whatever} to something else.

Run the installer again and it should allow you to install. I presume this method will allow you to have multiple installs as well.
