Everything might still be running when trying to install.

Normally the installer will try to close the existing Everything process. If this fails, you will see this message.

Please try manually terminating the existing Everything process and trying to install again:
  • Open the Task Manager with Ctrl + Shift + ESC.
  • Select the Processes tab (or Details tab on Windows 10)
  • Check Show processes from all users.
  • For each Everything.exe process:
    • Select Everything.exe and click End task
  • Reinstall Everything.
