Why can't I uninstall the previous version of Appraise-It?

During an upgrade, you may receive a message telling you Appraise-It's updater is unable to remove the previous version, and asking you to manually remove it yourself from your Windows Control Panel.

1. Close the installer.
2. Open your list of installed software.

  • In Windows XP, go to Start ⇨ Control Panel ⇨ Add/Remove Programs.

  • In Windows 8, go to the Start screen and type "programs and features", then hit "Enter".
  • In Windows 10, click the Windows icon on your toolbar, click on the "cog" icon to bring up Settings.  Type Control Panel in the search bar at the top of the settings window and click on control panel in the results to open it.  Click on Programs and Features.

You can now run the latest version's installer. If you were attempting to run your update from Appraise-It's Help menu, you'll need to go to the Downloads page to download the Appraise-It installer.
