PC game won't uninstall: can't find file

My son recently installed a game on his pc,(Patrician III).
First of all it wouldn't play.On trying to load it up after installation it would give an error message saying it couldn't verify the disc.This is despite it being a genuine disc.If anyone could offer advice on this I would be greatful.
However the problem now is it won't uninstall.I don't know exactly what my son has done in his attempt at uninstalling but all I get now is an error message unable to find the uninstall.exe file.Now the game will not play,uninstall or even reinstall.Can anyone advise please?

    He probably just deleted the folder in Explorer.

    Re-install the game again and then uninstall it. Should work.

    As regarding the CD verification thing, see if there a patch
