    I’m having the same issue. I just updated the server 10 1.3.4 last night. I tried to update the client and it said that I need to uninstall the old version. I uninstalled from add/remove programs. Now it continues to say that I need to uninstall the old version. It is a 64 bit machine that I am working on, so I looked under HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall but didn’t find {91C5D423-B6AB-4EAB-8F17-2BB3AE162CA1}. I also did a search from the root of the registry for that key.

      @jbrabhamMSD to be clear here, you just upgraded from 1.2.0 to 1.3.4? And it was the legacy client installed on the problematic computer and not an old version of the new client?

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

        @Joe-Schmitt Well I feel silly. I’d forgotten that I had posted this and had moved on to new things. And I came back around, looking for the solution again and lo and behold, I see that I had posted the question and there was a reply to it.

        Anyways, yes, we upgraded from 1.2.0 to 1.3.4. We have the legacy client (from 1.2.0) on most of our systems and if I uninstall and try to install the smartinstaller.exe or the new msi, I get the message saying that I need to uninstall the old version.

          @jbrabhamMSD I’d need to remote into a problematic machine to identify why the new client still thinks the legacy is present. Send me a PM and we can work out some time that works for both of us sometime next week if it’s alright with you.

            For anyone still having this issue, you can run this tool as Administrator and it will clean up leftovers from the legacy client (only run after you have uninstalled the legacy client): https://build.jbob.io/Tools/CleanLegacyClient.exe.

                @Rudy-Delsaut We need more information. What exactly “doesn’t work”? Any error messages? Did you uninstall the legacy client first?

                Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

                    @Rudy-Delsaut Did you “run as Administrator” with the cleanup tool?

                        @Rudy-Delsaut can you try opening regedit and checking for the leftover legacy client software entry? Sorry for all the trouble, the legacy client was built a long time ago for Windows XP so it has some issues like leftover registry entries. If the machine is 64 bit you should also check under Wow6432Node, keeping the rest of the path the same:

                        @tom-elliott said in Client install issues - Legacy uninstall:

                        Before redoing everything, per @joe-schmitt, the registry is scanned for the presence of a particular GUID for the FOG Legacy Installer.

                        Please Open regedit and look in:
                        HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall Remove the key with: {91C5D423-B6AB-4EAB-8F17-2BB3AE162CA1} and try reinstalling, this should work (hopefully).

                          Hello,

                          everything is OK. I deleted the regedit path and it’s ok.

                          Thank you for your reply !!!
