Please advise.

The following should work:

1) Exit MinimWatch if it is running
2) Uninstall MinimWatch
3) Install MinimWatch 2

I did unistalled previous version of MinimWatch, but the error still appear.

To let you understand my setup: I install MinimServer 2 on RPI 3 (headless) and Minimwatch 2 on Win10.

It sounds like the MinimWatch uninstall did not succeed in deleting all MinimWatch files.

Open the folder C:\Program Files and manually delete the entire MinimWatch subfolder. You might be asked for administrator permission to do this. After this, you should be able to install MinimWatch 2.

Thanks for the help, I managed to get Minimwatch running, after uninstall and reinstall and reboot.
