Fresh Windows install, but apps are saying they're already installed?
Hi,
I had some issues with my installation of Windows 7, so I formatted my hard drive and reinstalled it today.
I've been reinstalling apps, but I'm getting some issues. For example, when I try and install Miro, it says: -
Also, I tried to install ImgBurn and it said that another copy was detected and I could only install the program if I chose a different installation folder. I didn't change the folder, as there was no installation of ImgBurn on my system, and the app installed just fine.It looks like you're already running Miro.
Please shut it down before continuing.
A couple of other apps have popped up warnings saying that another instance of the installer is running, even though it's not, although as yet, Miro is the only app that won't install.
What the hell is going on here? lol. I've had no issues with Windows 7 since the first release candidate, but in the last couple of days I'm having no end of problems. I Googled this issue and found another guy with a similar problem and he found that restarting the Windows Installer service cured this problem, but that hasn't worked for me.
Can anyone help?
