Hello,

I am trying to install ADS 2011 trial downloaded from Agilent website. When, I try to install, I get the message - Previous version detected. Previously, I tried to install but then, because of OS issue, I re-installed windows and removed ADS altogether and tried installing ADS again. Still I get the same message, I tried ADS 2012, still the same prompt comes. Kindly help. I have attached screenshot.

regards

When you want to uninstall any ADS version on Windows you should always use the appropriate uninstall script from the Start Menu or via the Control Panel > Uninstall a Program and not just delete the ADS Installation folder. There is a fix for this situation mentioned here:

ADS cannot be reinstalled - "Previous Version Detected" message
 
Nothing is working, Should I format the laptop all again ? I don't find any entries of ADS 2011.
 

Please read the article I linked to in my previous post. This gives instructions to find and delete "Zero G Registry" folder from the disc to fix the installation problem. The location depends on what O/S you are using. You are not looking for an ADS entry. This has been a known process in such circumstance for many releases of ADS now.
