I remedied this same issue right now. What I did was go to my "C:\Program Files\Common Files\" and put the "InstallShield" directory in my Recycle Bin. I then put my Oblivion DVD back in, opened the "Setup.exe" and proceeded with reinstallation. It went quick and didn't give me any hiccups. Then I went ahead and uninstalled it without any issue. Let me know if this works for you too!

what i did was delete everything i could fine of it, then i re installed it and had the read me checked, so i downloaded and i saw the read me.

I found out you should always have the read me checked because it could give you errors if you dont, trust me it works to have the read me checked lol.
