Problems with installing Borderlands
Well I installed Borderlands, and opened it after finding its exe. I closed it soon after to find another installation saying "Validating Installation". I closed it after thinking I installed it twice by accident. I tried to open the game again but it said it couldn't find certain files. Then I tried to reinstall it but when I opened it in external disk it sent me to an uninstall or repair page. I tried both but the windows just froze. So I tried to uninstall it in the uninstall or repair part of the control panel. Since I was in the middle of something else I turned off my laptop. Later I just removed the 2K Games folder by putting it in the recycling bin and emptying it. I went to try to install the game again, but it takes me to the same page where it says Repair or Uninstall. I tried both and it stops due to an "Error 1721". I googled it and got stuff like this:

I did what they said and it still doesn't work.

Here is the event viewer data:
