Can't run a program. Hypercam

[robcat2075]

Suddenly today, Hypercam won't run anymore. It looked fine yesterday but now it won't run, it makes an "appcrash."

 

The uninstaller crashes also, as does the installer that I have saved elsewhere.

 

So I can't uninstall it and I can't re-install over it.

 

I tried manually deleting the files in its program folder, but the installer still won't run

 

Everything else on my computer seems to be working.

 

 

Any ideas what has gone wrong?

Assuming you didn't install or upgrade something that overwrote a dll Hypercam was using, I have no idea.

But since you can't fully uninstall the program now, you might want to use Revo Uninstaller to try to remove the rest of the program files from your system (they are not always stored in the Program Files folder). and then CCleaner to clear out the registry entries.

Thanks, those uninstalled it!

 

I still couldn't run my installer which had certainly run fine before. So i got a copy off my backup drive and that wouldn't run either.

 

Next I got the very same installer file off the internet... and that runs!

 

It's a mystery.
