NTKDaemonService could not be deleted

Simon1

Ok so I needed to do a fresh install of Native Access, so making sure at every step I was logged in as administrator, deleted everything from my hard drive then reinstalled using Native-Access_2.exe. Everything goes fine until Installing Native Instruments NTKDaemon Requirements were I keep getting an error saying Service 'NTKDaemonService' (NTKDDaemon Service) could not be deleted. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to remove system services. Retry Cancel. But can't get passed this even though I am running as administrator, and launching the initial .exe install as administrator. Any advice please

im on a Mac, and NTKDDaemon is one of those applications that starts automatically when you turn on the computer, maybe first remove it from the list of application that do that, restart the pc, and try again.

thats the only thing I can think of at the moment.

Yes I think the reboot part would be important.

Uninstalling (using the correct process, not just deleting things) then reinstalling without a reboot is potentially the issue.

Try the following :

Do a reboot of PC

Then Uninstall both Native Access and NTKDaemon using Windows built-in app uninstall

Then run the NI reg tool and remove anything Native Access and NTKDaemon

Then use Windows Explorer to search your system drive for all instances of 'Native Access' and 'NTKDaemon' and delete it all

Then restart computer

Then download newest version of Native Access for your OS

Then reinstall Native Access as an Administrator
