Trouble installing 4.5.3

[john727]

I just downloaded 4.5.3 and when I try to install it I get the following message.

Photo Mechanic appears to be running right now. You must quit Photo Mechanic before installing a new version of Photo Mechanic.

The installer will now quit. Please quit Photo Mechanic and run install again.

This is on my laptop running Vista Home Premium. I must have missed something but I'm not sure what. I was trying to install 4.5.3 over 4.5.2 in the same folder. Do I need to put it in a seperate foldr or uninstall 4.5.2 before the instalation?

Thanks,

John

I would guess that you have some other window open that has the title "Photo Mechanic" in it.  This may be a Windows Explorer window or a browser window, etc.  Just close all other windows before you launch the installer.  No need to uninstall 4.5.2 first.

I never could find it but rebooting solved it. Thanks for the quick info. I've been using Photo Mechanic for about two weeks and it is terrific.
