Error: Setup Has Detected That The TapRooT® System Software Is Already Installed

Have you ever been trying to install the software and you receive a message like this one?



When installing the TapRooT® System Software, the software searches all local drives looking for any instance of the tapvb.exe file.  This is the executable file for the TapRooT® System Software.  If the install program finds this file anywhere on the machine, you will get this error. Please note it also searched the Recycle Bin, so please empty the Recycle Bin before trying to install.

The best way to resolve this is to search the hard drive for any instances of this file.  This is done by going to Start - Search - For Files and Folders, typing tapvb.exe in the search box, and pressing the [Search] button.



You want to highlight any copies it finds, hold the Shift key and press the [Delete] key on your keyboard. Holding the Shift key permanently deletes the files without using the Recycle Bin. Once those have been deleted, empty the Recycle Bin once more just in case.

You can now install the application.
