Belarc Installation Problem
I recently received my new desktop computer. It came with Windows 7 Ultimate installed on one of the 3 hard drives.
The first thing I installed was Belarc Advisor. I did this so I would have a full inventory of my system. I have been using Belarc for many years.
I downloaded Belarc onto another computer I own and copied the installation file onto my new computer. The installation went great and I was able to get a complete inventory of my new computer.
I forgot that I already had it installed. The other day I downloaded the installation file again and attempted installation. I have always downloaded from the Belarc website.
When I tried the reinstallation, I got the following message box:

I have uninstalled several times. I have used the standard Windows Uninstall without success. I have used Revo without success. I have sent a few messages to their support email address.
I have also done the standard windows disk cleanup. Their reply suggested that I inquire here.
