Can't Install Theater

[Mopar_Mudder 14]

I wanted to start over with a clean install so I uninstalled Emby Server and Theater. Then deleted all left over files and folders. Server went back in no problem, but I can't get Theater in. Get an error "Application cannot be started contact vendor"

Any body have any ideas on this? Can't understand why uninstalling a program would make it so I can't install it again, I really need my Theater back.

Not sure I just uninstall "All traces" and reinstalled Theater without issue.  But this was Windows 10 not Windows 7.

I tried that last night and it didn't help.

Well I think I found a solution, what ever clickonce is causes the problem, and it seems to be common.

 

I found this on another site, a big pain just to install a program.

 

 

The access denied error in our case was definitely in the registry entry that ClickOnce needs to access. The user could not even open the key HKCU\Software\Classes

After creating a new domain user and trying that one, then trying the old domain user on a different computer and having both of those work we checked at the file level what was actually different in the users Local Settings between the machines that worked and those that did not. We have found (at least for our case) the corruption.

It is:
%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass.dat

Deleting this file (with a different, sufficiently privileged user otherwise the file will be locked) causes it to be recreated on the next login. After that the ClickOnce install works just fine thanks.

(disclaimer: I have no idea what other effects re-creating that file may have, but it looks like that file controls access to the users Software\Classes registry key and don't think any application could access that registry key as it was anyway...)

well done.
