I had no problem installing on my very slow laptop and also at work on window 10 PC, but at my home studio I get an error message warning abut " ....some files are missing" after I installed Beta 2 and launching on my windows 10 computer.

Not knowing what to do I decided to uninstall Davinci Resolve and tried to reinstall Beta 2 again but when I click the install file I get a message saying a newer version is already installed.

I did a forum search and and found that i needed to remove C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve folder which I have now but I am still getting the message about a newer version.

Before installing Beta 2 I had version 14 installed, i do remember the same problem happening on this machine when 14 Beta was release. That time the only way i could fix it was to wait for a newer beta version to be released.

Will there be a new version before the weekend as I have put time aside to do some editing and testing and I really don't look forward to sitting at my PC for hours trying to get it to get Beta 2 installed a running.

I find the following a better Uninstaller than the Windows default. Check the option to Automatically remove residual files for a truly fresh start.

Thanks for that.

I have had a look but I am not too keen on installing software onto my system that can mess around with the OS. Looking on the Amazon reviews there are some warning about using it. Which puts me off

Understandable.

I would add that I've been using it on my Personal, Administrative and Edit systems for years, and never had a bit of trouble. I consider this, like the venerable VLC, not only a perfectly safe install for a production machine, but actually a "must have".
