Reinstall using recommended settings

[bri2808]

Hi folks;

Why does this appear when I am installing third party things to my TS2013

I am running Windows 7 and I am sure it is a setting I have to change but cant remember which. I did a search but couldnt find the answer. It means I am installing everything twice. Any help would be great please

You shuold be running as administrator when installing stuff

Do you mean this dialog box?



If so, it's not saying you have to re-install again, but rather it's giving you the option to do so "If this program didn't install correctly...." (as it states in the top paragraph of the message)

Thats the box

But how do you know if its working correctly or not

My point is, when I am installing all the AP packs, that message pops up after every time. Its time consuming to have to check after every install? Thats why I wondered if there is a setting you can change to ensure that is automatically applied if relevant.

I am running it as administrator

If I get that pop up after installing a 3rd party add on I just click on the program installed correctly and don't worry about it.

The dialog doesn't refer to a program working, but whether the installation went as expected. A very minor but important difference. Just click on the "This program installed correctly" button and test it, if it doesn't work then you know you have to do more.

You're most likely getting this dialog because the install routine for the packs wasn't written for Windows 7 so your OS is being nice and helpful and offering you the chance to use 'compatability settings' if you found that the install failed.
