Setup Failed: Another Version Of this Product Is Already Installed. #45

Closed E-Studios closed 2 years ago

Like the title says, an error message says the software is already installed.

Here is what I did, because i had a slicer generating stl thumbnails too I uninstalled STL-Thumb and the slicer.

Now when i want to install STL-Thumb i get this error message. I'am not able to find anything in the registry either.

install-error

Ugh. This kind of garbage is why I hate Windows so much. It still doesn't even have a real package manager.

Some googling suggests this might be because a conflicting version of the MSVC 2015 redistributable is installed. Try going into Add/Remove programs and uninstall "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable".

Yes this did the trick, i was looking for hours in the registry if there was any stuff left but uninstalled the 2015 package and installed STL-Thumb, works!
