OBS can not be installed

[Gebby]

Hello, I had installed OBS before.
There is a new version that can not be installed. I got the error message:
---------------------------
OBS Studio 29.1.3 Setup
---------------------------
OBS files are being used by the following applications: CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess Please close these applications to continue setup. OBS was uninstalled, the file CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess prevents installation. In the Taskmansger CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess exists 5x. I can't disable these processes even as admin, what else can I do?

Do you have any Razor products It's associated with their software
Otherwise do an antivirus scan

I don't know what Razer products are. My antivirus scan did not reveal any infections.

Check for updates from the existing install, the updater can handle in-use files better than the installer.

There is no existing installation anymore.

A program you have running (in your system tray or otherwise) is open and is blocking OBS from being able to install its components.
Whatever program it is was programmed in either vb.net or c# and needs to be closed completely before OBS can be installed.

Hello, administrator! When installing OBS, it also prompts me to close my program, but not every time. I would like to inquire about the changes I need to make in my program's code to avoid conflicts with OBS. Thank you very much.

obs files are beging used by the following applications........

What are the reasons that would cause OBS to pop up a window? I want to solve this issue within my program instead of asking the user to close my program every time. My program internally uses CEF. Thank you very much!

That has become clear to me as well. But how do I find out which program this could be?

Hi, I lost quite a bit of time to find the solution that works for me, so I share it here, hoping it can help some of you.

In my case, CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess was used and installed by Deepl.

The file CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess.exe was installed in :

• Users\%localuser%\AppData\Local\0install.net\implementations

I uninstalled it using the PowerShell prompt:

0install store purge

in administrator mode.

After that I could finally install OBS without a flaw.
Hope this can help.
