Hello everyone, please help. Once upon a time I decided to take a terrible action, namely, delete the program FxSound, and I changed my mind, but it was too late…  
After reinstalling the program, I could not find the shortcut to launch it fxsound, not on disk C, not on the desktop. I reinstalled this program 5 times, I still can’t find a shortcut to launch this program. I’m installing the latest version.

P.s sorry for my English, I don’t speak English, so I use a translator ;(

Hi,  
To run FxSound, run FxSound.exe located inside this folder:  
C: \> Program Files \> FxSound LLC \> FxSound  
Let me know if this does the trick.

For some reason “This folder is empty” (Installed as administrator) What’s the matter?

Try [uninstalling the FxSound Audio Enhancer driver manually](https://forum.fxsound.com/t/echo-due-to-fx-and-the-original-playback-device-playing-at-the-same-time/2112/2).  
Using specialized full uninstaller software would also be an option, I’ve heard [Revo Uninstaller](https://www.revouninstaller.com/user-tutorials/install-revo-uninstaller-free/) is one of the best.  
After that, download the latest version - v1.1.22.0 - from [fxsound.com](http://fxsound.com), and run the installer.  
Post back and let me know if everything is working alright after that.

Nothing helped. Did everything as you said, the installer just crashes 1 seconds after launch.  
Maybe it’s something to do with my system? Because I use tweakers, maybe the program conflicts with them? (Everything was fine during the first installation)

Okay.  
Have you tried running the installer as Administrator?  
Right-click \> run as Administrator.

Hi @Dark  
Please try this troubleshooter and completely uninstall the previous installation.

After cleaning up the previous installation, you can try reinstalling.
