Situation:
During installation of NWN gold, somewhere on third disk install the
electricity went out momentarily. Well I try to install NWN and it tries to
uninstall previous install to no avail, can't seem to get rid of an
installshield ini file. Any suggestions as I really want to play this game.

have you gone to the add/remove programs in control panel?
Just deleting the entire NWN folder?

You will probably have to remove the aborted installation manually. To do
this, it's necessary to look at 3 places:

a) The registry. With Regedit, start a search for "Neverwinter" and delete
the entries you find.

b) The (hidden) folder "InstallShield Installation Information" in your
programs folder. Inside this, you may find a subfolder
{7C503E58-B2BC-11D5-978A-0050BA84F5F7} which you should delete.

c) It may also help to clean up the temp folders.
