Error message when launching game

Whenever i try to launch Empire Earth II i get this message

"FATAL PROBLEM at C:\EE2\src\EE2\EE2Main.cpp:747:
-->Failed to load image splash.bmp. Wrong working directory, perhaps?"

anyone know what it means?

also, i tried to uninstall it to reinstall it but when i click "uninstall" it does nothing.

i tried to uninstall it in the add/remove programs thing, and it said "Setup.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience.

if you were in the middle of somthing, the information you were working on might be lost."
