After the first launch and successful installation, I move the msi file to another folder and rename it, and then try to start it again.
Error: The specified account already exists.
I need the MSI file to be re-run (without rebuilding MSI for the user).
It can somehow expose that when you restart it was repair or something.
Tried to do a forced repair when reinstalling - still such an error.
In order for it to go away, you need to remove the software from Programs and Features and delete the files from the disk that you installed.
What to do, please help.
How to choose a configuration so that it does not exist.
Some software (Silent Builder, for example) allows you to run the same MSI many times and there are no errors. How do they do it?
