Viper Racing demo help

I got a CD with the Viper Racing demo on it in the mail and I installed it. I uninstalled it a few months later without using the "Add/Remove programs" thingy in the Control Panel. Now when I try to reinstall the demo it says "Viper Racing is already installed, uninstall Viper Racing before playing." I hate games that try to be smart and do this to you. Is there any way around this message?

Remember to backup your user.dat and system.dat files first! Otherwise, if you really love Viper, why would you only want to play the demo? CU Zolli

I tried this, it still doesn't work...I guess I could go buy a copy (I've seen used copies on Ebay for $10-$15) but I'm too much of a cheapskate. : )
