I continue to get this message on 3 XP and one Windows 7 Workstations which had Malware bytes previously installed...
I first manually uninstalled MalwareBytes from the machines, rebooted, ran audit and retried the install, install failed with the previous version message
I ran the uninstall from the console, showed as notinstalled, tried install again failed with the previous version message
I ran the verify from the console, showed as notinstalled, tried install again failed with the previous version message
Any suggestions/thoughts? I was thinking about trying to reinstall MalwareBytes, then running the uninstall from the console rather than doing a manual uninstall.
We check a registry key for previous versions of malwarebytes
(not exact - but you'll get the idea)
HKLM\Software\MalwareBytes\InstallLocation
If it exists, we assumed it was installed.....that turned out to be a bad assumption. We are now looking for that registry key AND the uninstaller (uninstall.exe) in the directory (as of the latest build dropped last night)
The fix?
Get a new build or delete the reg key
