Series of steel engine error: The SteelSeries Engine version is already installed. You want to uninstall?

Original title:

Steel series engine

I recently got a new computer and wanted some things from my old computer so I got an external hard drive a friend off the coast and put things on it and their transfer on, this included my Steel Series engine with my keyboard settings (color preference / macros), but when I tried to use the file had some sort of error so I deleted and tried to download a new engine to their website to find Once I tried to run, I received a message saying:

The SteelSeries engine version is already installed. You want to uninstall?

I tried to click Ok but nothing happens and when I try to install again, the same message shows. What should I do?

Hmm... Yes. You may inquire about the forums of Steelseries, but--

-Have you restarted the machine since the abolishment of the Steelseries software installation directory?

-Do you have a System Restore point before that you copied the software Steelseries on the new computer, or before you tried to run the software?

-Did empty you the folder Temp (User\AppData\Local\Temp)?

If you perform a new installation of Windows, it should have that Steelseries registry entries

(or appear in programs and features), and simply copy the program to the new machine should

Don't let not any evidence after that you deleted the installation directory...

-Unless there is some registry entries that are created when you first tried to run the software?

If there are registry entries, you should be able to find where to find where they are in the register to the

SteelSeries forums.

Once found, deleting the keys from Steelseries should fix things (back up the registry first).

Although some things (lots of old games) can run when they are copied, other software will require drivers installed, or the registry entries made, during the installation.

If you use a picture of your old Windows installation it would be OK to just

Copy your software on a new disk (assuming that you use the same drive letter), as the registry keys, and

all parameters of all would still be intact, and the drivers installed.

Assuming that Steelseries is similar to Logitech, copy all of the program installation directory for the

new machine would not help keep your settings anyway.

-The most often, you will find the devices profile files somewhere in your user folders.

That is to say. -Logitech retains its profiles in User\AppData\Local\Logitech.

-It is also possible that there is a file of these saved profiles (.cfg - .ini, or?) which is

the origin of your grief.

Pop all these files in a folder for backup and if you can then get the software to install, replace

the profile files created during installation with the file appropriate to your backup folder.
