An error occurred installing the TAP VPN device manager

Asked By craigmull 10 points N/A Posted on - 08/08/2011

Hi guys,

My problem here is about installation process that stopped in the middle, I meet this problem while installing Hotspot Shield.

 

Hotspot Shield- An error occurred installing the TAP VPN device manager.

I already tried installing this application before, but it was fresh from re format , so I expect no hard time before, but now this is different installing it from a used computer, I suspected some virus intervention along the process, that is why I scan the computer for some virus invasion,  but the antivirus application did not find any infiltration, and the time has come that  I am running out of solution, please make some comment on this problem, thanks.
