When AQTime thinks it’s running during install and aborts installation
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/11/29
I had this warning (which is actually an error: you cannot continue as pressing OK would get you the same warning over and over again) during AQTime installation a while ago:
--------------------------- WARNING ! --------------------------- Setup has detected AQtime running on your computer. You must close the application and press OK to continue. Press Cancel to abort installation. --------------------------- OK Cancel ---------------------------
Back then:
- I was Administrator
- The Installer download was from http://downloads.smartbear.com/AQtime.exe
- The embedded version was 8.50.1720
It did successfully extract the AQtime.msi before bailing out
The fix (from SmartBear support) was remarkably simple, so I was surprised I could not find it online:
If your downloaded, saved AQtime installation package is named AQtime.exe, rename it: (ex: AQtime850.exe and you should then be able to complete the installation process.
So basically renaming AQTime.exe into AQTime850.exe allowed it to install.
