So I'm trying to re-install Amnesia after a long while...... And for some reason I can't remember how to install it. Every time I go and try to install it, the last part always asks what disk I want to save it to, now I bought the game..... I have Windows if that helps any.... But I just can't seem to get past which disk or how to save it somewhere, It just won't let me save to the desktop.
But I go and open it up to the Amnesia set-up wizard and follow everything and save the files to the same files again. I'll install it to the same folder, I'll make sure i get a desktop Icon and then it will say "Install", but it stops me and asks for a disk. What do I do from here? It will ask for the next disk, but I bought it online so i have no clue what to do. And then I'll have to quit it and it'll say "Rolling back changes" and I'll have to start again... Anyways enough ramblin'
Please help, this is getting stressful now and I just want to have a good scare y'know?

Is the game from Frictional Game's store?

Yeah it is, I bought it from the store online a bit over a year ago

Download the Windows version. You should be prompted to save a .zip file at your computer. Select a location (for example: desktop or documents). Then, using a program such as WinRar, unzip the compressed file you just downloaded. Run setup.exe and the installation wizard to install Amnesia The Dark Descent should appear. After the installation, run the game by double-clicking the desktop icon. At first run, you should be prompted to insert your unique cd key which can be found at the Frictional Game's store, from where you downloaded the .zip file.

Hey guys, I messed up my amnesia game trying to get back the original lantern from the game instead of the flashlight. I really want to reinstall the game but when ever I try the game still crashes from the flashlight/lantern problem, I just want to download the game again so I can play normally and not rebuy it.

Where'd you buy it?

I bought it from from friction games website, not steam. Can anyone help me?

Click unins000.exe in your Amnesia folder (the Amnesia - The Dark Descent folder, not the redist one). Now wait. The game should be completely deleted from your computer now, and then install again. Keep a backup of the saves folder if you want to keep progress.

where do I find the folder that isn't the redist one?

ok the game is completely gone now where do I go to reinstall

ok nevermind I found where to reinstall but when I get to a certain part it tells me for a disk one or to browse a folder and I don't know what to put in for it
