OBS Studio is already running. Please close it first before installing a new version.
I am attempting to install OBS Studio version 25.0.4 from .exe (OBS-Studio-25.0.4-Full-Installer-x64) on my Windows 7 laptop - previously had it installed a few months ago and I deleted it (no longer in my program files or in start menu / in any folder).
When I click on the .exe I get the above message.
I restarted my laptop, went straight to the .exe in Downloads folder and the same message appeared.
Also, I deleted the first downloaded.exe and downloaded the .exe again - still no luck.
Checked Task Manager processes for anything OBS related and nothing there I think - something I should look to close, am I missing something?
What do I need to change or delete, seeing as OBS is not actually installed yet and previously deleted?
