Hello monster528,
This is more common than you would think, have you tried to patch the game and had a failed install ?.
One cure seems to be, patch the game to latest patch and then try and un-install it.
If that does not work try this.

Download Revo Uninstaller Freeware - Free and Full Download

Give it a try and post your results, good luck.

Hello monster528,
Glad you got it sorted :party:.
What was the fix that worked for you ?, the patch or the Revo un-installer ?.

Hi, i tried to use the Revo uninstaller Pro to uninstall The Sims 3, and i got the same error I've been getting for a while now: An error [-5006: 0x80030005] has occured while running the setup.
it goes on to say if this error keeps popping up, i should contact EA...but so far they've been anything but helpful :( any suggestions?
