Hello. When I try to install the Creeper World Patch, it says "The application could not be installed because an application with that name already exists at the selected installation location. Try installing to a different location."

Anyone know what to do?

This can happen if you have installed the game before, then goofed around with the directory contents. Or if for some reason you have a copy of the game directory but didn't actually install it.  In other words, you already have a creeper world directory where the game is trying to install... and it isn't registered with AIR. 

To correct this you should uninstall creeper world.  Then confirm the directory is gone.  If you replaced any files or added any files to the install directory you will have to remove them and delete the directory manually.  Once clean, you can install the full version of the game again and start it up.  Once you confirm that is working, then install the patch.  You'll be all set at that point.
