I will say a story:
I wanted to install The Sims with my cracked CD, and when i installed, game didn't work, so i needed to uninstall it. When i was uninstalling the game, it said the error, so then and today i can't uninstall the game completely. In Control Panel, and in "Uninstall Programs", there exists "The Sims 3, but without an icon. As i can see in computer files, there doesn't exist any The Sims 3 file, but when i try to uninstall this "Ghost Sims", there happens an -5006: 0x80070056 error. So i thinked it's an CD error, so i bought The Sims 3 on Origin. I was happy, but when there was installing time, the -5006: 0x80070056 error happened.
Is it possible to help?
