Hi Copetti;

   This is rare, but I had been in the same situation when testing Alpha & Beta releases of Appeon PB and then trying to install the GA version later on. Even though I did an "uninstall" of those previous release/version (and even sometimes when the uninstall completed successfully) - the O/S seems to think that its still there and the new installer won't run because it thinks the current version is installed.

    Here is what I have done in that this case to resolve the "catch 22" situation like this ...

1. Remove all PB 2017 folders via File Manager  ... "C:\Program Files (x86)\Appeon\PowerBuilder 17.0" and "C:\Program Files (x86)\Appeon\Shared" and their sub-folders.
2. Run REGEDIT utility and remove all PB2017 references (a bit time consuming)
3. Reboot your PC

After the above, I have been able to now install OK. The same for PowerServer.

HTH

Regards ... Chris

The program CCleaner (previously Crap Cleaner) has the ability to delete items from the installed programs list. Then you can run the registry cleanup a couple times until it doesn't find any issues.

Thanks Chris,
I remove all pb17 references and its ok now.

Roland,

i don't have CCleaner but i remember it for next time.
