Jacques Sauve Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 I have a customer who uses Nitro Pro 11 (I have encouraged them to upgrade to 13, they are thinking about it). One of the devices is a Surface Pro 7 with Windows 10 20H2. She has never been able to install Nitro Pro 11. When I try to, it says that there is a newer version installed and it won't install. She said, "Let's try v13, and if we have to we'll purchase the upgrade." When I try to install v13, it tells me that it can't remove the previous version! LOL! I have tried running your cleanup tool; I have followed the instructions about the permissions on the WindowsApps folder...nothing. Always the same thing. I went through the registry and cleaned out every instance of "nitro"...nothing doing. So...how does one get this thing installed?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Official Nitronaut Reymund Oyong Posted December 2, 2020 Official Nitronaut Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Hi @Jacques Sauve, Thank you for reaching out to us through our Community Forums! Could you please provide the link where you get the cleanup tool? You may have used an old cleanup tool and it did not successfully remove all traces of Nitro Pro. Also, when you go to Windows Control Panel's Programs and Features, do you see anything related to Nitro Pro? Kind regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Sauve Posted December 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Hi Reymund, Oh, I got the cleanup tool from one of the discussions here on the forum, so I can't really tell you exactly which link that was; perhaps just provide me with the latest link? And no - in the installed programs, on the C drive, in the registry, I have removed all traces of Nitro Pro that I can find. Thanks!

Jacques Sauve Posted January 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Hi Reymund, I finally got to try this, and I'm still getting the same error. Can't install v11 because it says there's a newer version, and can't install 13 because it says the older version has not been completely removed. Still stuck in Nitro purgatory...

Ran the MS tool; said I was having issues installing a software that was not listed, but it found no problem. 4. Downloaded and tried installing NP13 - same error: complains that a previous version is still installed. Unless you come up with some magic solution to resolve this, customer will now be looking for another solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Official Nitronaut Allain Umailin Posted January 13, 2021 Official Nitronaut Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 Hello @Jacques Sauve, Thank you for your patience. After checking our recourses, it appears the following registry removal might resolve the issue. IMPORTANT: Make sure to save a backup before making any change by referring to this article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/322756/how-to-back-up-and-restore-the-registry-in-windows Please check and delete a Registry entry that could be causing the issue. You should find it under the following Registry folder: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products You will see a list of entries with a long alphanumeric name. An example of this would be: '831AAE641C32BF44CA312A5BA4747E50', each computer will have its own unique ID though. Please click on each Registry Folder within the Products section and check the 'Product Name' until you find one with the name of Nitro Pro. Please delete the parent folder with the alphanumeric string name and then try to install Nitro Pro once again. Thank you for choosing Nitro and I hope this helps.
