Can't Reinstall/Launch Spotify

tzchuen — Fri, 16 Feb 2018 03:05:56 GMT

I deleted Spotify a day ago, but now I can't seem to reinstall it.

Whenever I try to launch the setup.exe, a prompt appears saying "A Windows Store installation of Spotify was found in your system. Please uninstall that version first, or update through the Windows Store."

When I try to launch the app from the Windows Store directly, it gives me a prompt "Windows cannot find [path]\SpotifyMigrator.exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."

I've deleted every Spotify file and folder in C:\ manually and cleaned up the registry using CCCleaner, but the issue still persists.

Hey,

Give these a try if that doesnt work:

Go to the app store, right click "uninstall"
Check the install directory to ensure there is nothing remaining
- Make sure you are able to view hidden folders (Click here to enable hidden folders)
- When hidden folders are enabled make sure that there is no file remaining
Have you tried installing in another directory? (If you have an external hard drive, or something along those lines try installing directly on that. A perk of that being your music would be stored on that)

Hope this helps, if possible please attach a copy of the message prompt that comes up whilst trying to re-install.
