Bearshare unable to install properly

Asked By Aabel Maverick 30 points N/A Posted on - 08/26/2012

BearShare is getting annoying now. I have reinstalled it a couple of times now but still this error is appearing!

It always says that it installed correctly but when I run BearShare it gives me this error.

BearShare is unable to load, due to unsuccessful installation.

Please re-install BearShare.

Bearshare unable to install properly

 

Hello There,

Hope you're having a nice day. If you did install it a few times, but the error is appearing over and over again, it could possibly mean that the setup itself is corrupt or the setup failed to download the file parts properly.

Try downloading a new setup and install it allover again or try another site to download the application. Hope it helps. Thank you.

Bearshare unable to install properly

Hello Aabel,

To resolve that issue, you will need to try the following procedure.

• First, you will need to log off your other BearShare account.
• After that you should try to completely uninstall the older versions of BearShare that you have.
• Once you have done that you will need to try reinstalling the newest edition of it.

If after you do the above it is still not working, try the following:

• Run Windows Search, and then enter the following search term: *.db.
• After that you will need to delete the corrupted database files associated  with BS.

The two workarounds above should help you resolve the issue.

Regards,

Carl
