Not sure if I am in the correct area. I accidently erased the Sentinel app. Tried to reinstall and got this error message.
“The installation was interrupted before BCDx36 HP Sentinel could be installed. You need to restart the installer to try again.”
Before getting to this point I get a message showing where the files will be. I have changed the location and still want install.

Not for this software, but many years ago I ran into problems with other software and think it was because I changed the location of where it wanted to store files. Since then I always let software go where it wants to go.

I had that issue also. I spent hours trying to reinstall Sentinel. Updated everything recommended. Sentinel would not reinstall. Finally I just restored the program from my backup drive and it worked fine. I don't know what file is hidden that prevents reinstalling. I even cleaned the registry of every instance referring to Sentinel or Uniden and the program would not reinstall. Only backup restore worked.
