Unable to install, Cannot open database file message

Hi I have upgraded Windows 10 to Windows 11, after upgrade FxSound worked well.

Then I found a new version and tried to upgrade it.

During the process the message below in screenshot appear:

Database: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\inprogressinstallinfo.ipi. Cannot open database file. System error -2147287037.

I tried to unistall manually the old versione, deleted folders and registry keys, but the message still appear.

Anyone can help me?

Can you try to uninstall through Revo Uninstaller or WiseCleaner and then retry installing the new version.

Here is a thread on uninstallation issues and uninstall utilities

Hi bvijay, uninstallers won’t helped but I have resolved in another way, it seems a Windows problem.

I have resolved following the procedure at this link (method 2):

Error 2203.Database: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\inprogressinstallinfo.ipi. Cannot open database file. System error -2147287037. - Microsoft Q&A

Thanks anyway for your support.
