Issues installing updates and uninstalling... (Solution Update)

Post by buhlig »

Since the original thread was locked, i wanted to post a solution that I found to this problem...

Background:
Could not update PowerShell Studio 2015, could not reinstall, could not uninstall

Solution:
After a lot of messing around I happened to come across a Microsoft Fixit link for installer issues. I figured "what the heck" i've tried everything else I could find.

I downloaded the exe for it from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mat ... _uninstall and ran it. To my surprise it actually was able to repair the issue and then force the uninstall of the app. From there I was able to finally update my version to the current one!

This should work for any of those pesky applications that wont update or uninstall...

Thanks,

Ben
