duplicate #1582, see there for fix.

tldr: can't overwrite with zip file, remove or uninstall previous installation before using 2.x.

For what it's worth, I did use the installer, which uninstalled the previous version first... It did complain at the time that some elements would have to be removed manually, but I wasn't sure what they were. I have now removed all trace of pyfa from my system and reinstalled and it works. Thanks for the help.

Hrm, interesting... if you ever used the zip files manually, this could be the cause (like, you used the zip file, then installed 1.x over it (doesn't cause issues), but then used the 2.x installer, which might not have picked up the old manually extract files...). Not saying that's the case here, but there have been a few edge case reports of things going a bit screwy like this. Anyway, glad you got it working! 😄
