Hello, I see a few threads on this, but have not come to a conclusion on the actual solution.

FX Sound alerted me of an update. I tried to install said update but it was looking for msi files that seemed to create a loop. I went ahead and followed the direction of some of these forums, but I am not really stuck.

I removed all remnants of FX sound from my drive and registry, even app data. Now when running the installer I receive the following problem.

When I point the installer to a location I have extracted,

It results in an error.

When I hit cancel on the installation, it results in the following error.

No matter what I do, I cannot get FX sound to re-install. It will not install via the microsoft store either.

Running Windows 11Pro, all up to date.

For this error extracting MSI from the steps we have given and selecting it manually is the only solution.

Can you also try installing the latest beta version?
