Do you have Sc4 Installed on that machine?

Do you have GMAX installed?  It looks like it cannot find the location c:\gmax

[Diggis]

The LE doesn't need GMAX Lee.

I have installed sc4 in this computer.
will there anything that i should do before install the LE?

Did you install the patches for SC4? They should use the same installation path (taken from the registry, I assume) - if they install correctly, the LE should install as well. Make sure that you run Windows as administrator (for both installing the game, the patches, the LE etc.), otherwise, the installer might not be able to access the registry properly.

They are certain updates you should have installed:
http://simcity.ea.com/update/index.php

If you're unable to install LotEditor and that update,
then your SimCity 4 installation or registry is probably faulty.
In that case I'd recommend you to first reinstall SimCity 4.

Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this, but I searched for 30 minutes trying to find an adequate one that would address my issue, but had no luck.

Problem:
I tried uninstalling the nam and it wiped out 90% of my plug-ins folder before I could stop it. It even deleted the back-up plug-ins within the SimCity 4 subfolder in my docs. The funny thing is it didn't even uninstall the nam. Most likely because I have a z in front of that folder and the deletion was going in alphabetical order. Also, I had a folder called Simcity4 stuff in my documents with a subfolder containing the nam 2010 setup installer and that's gone as well (not the entire folder, just the subfolder with nam setup).

I go to the recycling bin and none of the items that got deleted are in there. What in Gods name happened and how can I get my S%$# back?!?!?!

Will system restore do anything the fix this? Doubt it, but just wondering....

Maybe there's a virus in the computer or the plugin contains virus. Do a scan and check is there a virus or not.
