Problem trying to install Winamp5
 

When I try to install winamp5 i go to install it and when it asks for the folder it automatically puts C:\Program Files\Winamp2 So i change the 2 to a 5 and install, well it doesnt take long untill i get the error I had a friend send me is and i replaced it and it still does not work. Someone pleaseee help.

changing the directory shouldn't hurt it. is winamp2 currently running on ur system when trying to instal wa5? are any other programs or processes running? does anything get installed? i haven't seen this yet, but some more info could be helpful.

Yes files are placed into the Winamp5 folder, I currently have Winamp 2 + 3 installed but at the time i install i do not have them running. The plugins folder in the Winamp5 folder contains the file gen_ff.dll and a few other .dll files. In the main Winamp5 folder I have 8 icons and 2 subfolders (Plugins + Skins).

do you have any other programs running during install? i had the error (or something similar) once a while back during install. i deleted the folder and made sure nothing was running during install as well as rebooting my computer beforehand. from what i remembered, this helped.

however, i am willing to bet you already did that. are you running a virus program? try disabling or turning off during install. on the other hand, you may have a virus or some hijack software installed that is causing this problem.

You could be right about the already having a virus thing. Been having problems lately :( I have yet to restart my computer due to being busy so far all night. I will tomorrow, I will post back on info of anything that may have helped or anything I have done. Thanks for the help so far.

no problem... keep us up to date

Ok im not sure what I did, I restarted and tried it and if i remember it didnt work. I just tried it after removing a few things, and it just finished installing. Im happy now, thanks for the help :)
