Cannot install/uninstall Live 9

Post by Schiggy » Sun May 12, 2013 3:30 pm

Hey guys,

this sucks: I can't open Live, so i have uninstalled to install it again. However, when i want to use Ccleaner to uninstall it, it says it cannot find a certain file and the uninstallation fails. When i want to simply install the 9.0.4 on my PC, it says, that there is already a folder with the same name existing (which is false), and it won't work either. I have searched every remotely to Live related folder on my PC, but cannot find anything... Can someone help me? I just want to make some music this sunday... :evil: :roll:

Thanks

Registry to clean anything else left over. Uninstalling should have resolved the issue in the first place (for removing it). I haven't had any issues uninstalling 9.0.x in the past. View hidden folders enabled? If not, turn it on and find the file causing the issue. And you can always install to another folder/directory if you have the option during installation. But it'd be better to get your issue resolved first so you don't hit any other issues.

Yea it happened. I needed to find same version of the installer file and remove by using the menu. Uninstaller in the local drive disappears.
