    Problem Installing R17

    Hi Folks
    I get an error message when I try to install R17. It warns that there are pending uninstall actions and that I need to restart the PC. THe restart doesn't change anything. I think I've tried to attach a snip of the message. Any idea of what needs to be done?
    Thanks
    Gavin

    Problem solved! I took a guess that it was dbPoweramp itself that was pending an uninstall. I uninstalled manually, re-booted and the R17 installation has now worked. I'm not sure if I did something wrong initially but I guess this could be a bug?

    Or rather not entirely solved. Since I've got a family pack registration I tried installing it on a 'virginal' PC elsewhere in the house - and I got the same message. Again, a simple re-boot didn't work. Any idea how I track down the impending action?

    You can force the install, sometimes uninstall actions stick in the registry, so it can be ignored if you have restarted the PC.

    Thanks, Spoon, I've ignored the warning (despite it sounding quite dire to do so) and the install has completed.

    Hello!
    Please Im having exactly the same problem:
    1)I installed the trial versión of dBpoweramp Reference [Music Converter & CD Ripper] for afew days
    2)I decided to buy the full version
    3)I uninstalled the trial version
    4)I paid for dBpoweramp Reference [Music Converter & CD Ripper]
    5)I downloaded dBpoweramp Reference [Music Converter & CD Ripper]
    6)I tried to install dBpoweramp Reference [Music Converter & CD Ripper]
    7)I got a message error telling me that there are pending uninstall actions and that I need to restart the PC
    8)I restarted PC several times but didn't work
    9)I turned off PC for 30 minutes then turned it on again I tried installing and still got the same message error
    10)I searched for any single file in my PC that had "poweramp" as part of its name
    11) I found a few files that had "poweramp" as part of their name
    12) I deleted them all
    13) I restarted PC
    14) I tried installation but still the very same error message telling me there are uninstall stuff pending
    15) I got tired and I just click the option "yes, continue no matter what in spite it is not recommended"
    16) Installation was succesful

    Now, what do you think? Should I do something now?
    Maybe unistall it and re install it again?
    Maybe just leave it as is?
    Please, help, thanks"

    Hello, thank you, I did what you mention in the other post and here is what I found inside the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Con t rol\\Session Manager" folder:

    \??\C:\Program Files\Common Files\McAfee\ClientAnalytics\Plugins\clock


    Now, do I need to do something about it?

    Thanks!

    You can safely ignore that entry.

    I've got V.14 still on my workstation. Should I uninstall all V.14 utilities before installing V.17, or does it go nicely right on top of them?

    Re: Problem Installing R17

    I have just purchased R17 and when I try to install it I get the message "unable to extract a file from install"
    I've checked my AV software, Kaspersky, and can't see anything there
    I retried R16.5 and that ran perfectly
    Is there something different about R17 or have I got a faulty file?

    Re: Problem Installing R17

    When you run the install does it show some files installing and it gets stuck later on, or seems to be the first file?

    The message box pops up instantly after double clicking the exe file

    Sounds like a false positive by your security software. Can you disable it for a test?
