good question...easy answer.......unfortunately when you install a demo game the installer leaves a file in your registry to let your p.c know you have used this demo before
so when you try to install the demo again it will refuse to let you install and will exit
there are 2 ways round this problem,and both are drastic....1)go into your registry and manually delete the game file,but this is only for very experienced users,and one wrong file deleted can totally screw up your operating system,so this is NOT RECOMMMENDED
the other way is to re-install your windows,but again this is not advisable ,as you will loose all other data
there is another way ,but this has not been tested,you can get a program called ccleaner(http://www.ccleaner.com/),and run this,
this gets rid of all unusable files and may detect the game files as unusable and delete them,then the only way to test it is to try to install the demo again.....let me know if it works
good luck

Sometimes you can set the windows clock back.
This will let you run game because computer thinks you still have time left. Don't for get to set it back if this works.

Possibly if you use a registry cleaner or something like that to remove all traces of the game

no, you have to uninstall it first then download it again
