    #5 Repair and Remove screen

    If you see the repair and remove screen, that means you already installed the same or newer version on your computer. You need to uninstall ez1099 before you re-install it.



    #6 "Your PC Settings only let you install verified apps from the store" issue

    Solution: This issue is caused by a setting on your computer, which restricts third-party apps and software from being installed. You can modify the settings to solve this issue.

  • Click the "Start" button (at the left bottom corner of your screen)
  • Click "Settings"
  • Click "Apps" (or "Apps & Features")
  • From the "Installing Apps" dropdown list, select the option "All apps from anywhere".
  • Close the Settings window.



    • #7 .net Framework Error

    Windows computers should have .net framework installed by default. You may receive this error if the .net framework is disabled on your computer. You can follow this guide to enable it from the control panel.

    1) Open Control Panel.

    2) In Control Panel, choose Programs and Features

    3) Choose Turn Windows features on or off, and then select the .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) check box.
    This option requires an Internet connection. You do not need to select the child items for Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) HTTP activation unless you are a developer who requires WCF script and handler mapping functionality.
