Some Installs or Uninstalls Don't Work

Post by fac51 »

This is a weird and annoying issue my pc has developed of late. I have great difficulty installing and uninstalling certain programs. They all use WISE installer and GNU installers.

The problem i have is when i double click on the exe to install the box flashes up then disappears again. i have to repeatedly click on the exe until eventually the box stays on the screen so i can install. :x

only happens with the above installers which i rarely come across but when i do it's damn annoying and i cannot figure out why it is doing it
