When you uninstall AcountRight, parts of the software might be left behind which can interfere with future AccountRight installations. For example, after uninstalling AccountRight it still might be shown in your list of installed programs. Or maybe you're trying to install AccountRight but a message advises that it's already installed - but it's not!
There's a number of reasons why this can happen, the most common are where the Windows uninstall process was interrupted or important application files have been inadvertently deleted or renamed. To fix these issues, you can use Microsoft's Fix It tool which can automatically identify and fix the problem.
