No previous installation found error...

So im running Parallels desktop, trying to install maschine on windows to use as a plugin within fl studio, I haven't purchased 2.0 yet im still on 1.8.2. Here's whats happening:

The initial installation works smoothly. 1.8 installs as it should. It creates shortcuts on my desktop and everything. Next WITHOUT trying to run 1.8, I download and attempt to run the 1.8.2 update that i see in service center and during the installation i see that the maschine program short cut and the controller editor short disappear from my desktop. Then the 1.8.2 update informs me that I don't have any previous installations on my computer. When I check both the program files folder and control panel, sure enough, it seems that 1.8 is no longer on my computer. I even do a computer search and it doesn't come up... any ideas ? Also as i said, looking back in hindsight, i never ran the maschine program first before attempting the update, could that cause the issues i'm experiencing? I would try to reinstall again but right now i don't have the computer that im trying to install maschine on, i wont have it till tomorrow morning.

Any suggestions ?

 

Hello,

yes thats a good idia reinstall 1.8 and start it first before update it to try the 1.8 installation to be correct.
