How to Install Virtual Dj on Windows 10
Forum: VirtualDJ Technical Support
I've been trying to install VirtualDJ 2021 after a popup in the currently installed version asked me to do so, but this error keeps popping up: The folder is created by the installer, and is empty.

Try right-click the installer and choose "run as administrator".
And if no such option is there, login to the Windows account allowed to install programs.

BTW VirtualDJ 2021 installed flawlessly on my Windows 10 Home laptop, but I keep running into this error on my Windows 10 Pro desktop. Anyone else experience the same issue?

And by that might be logged into an account without privileges to install programs

Home user Member since 2014 The main problem with update seems to be simple : virtualdj.exe can't be written not because of permissions but because it is "already in use" ! (Race condition between exit and install) Some updates ago everything became so sloooow again in VDJ and video window can close 15s after main GUI closed and some thread will close after it. Thus yes normal install fixes this issue... because vdj had time to exit but that doesn't remove the temporary downloaded update file. Exactly the same with crashguard.. starting DJ again too early in same conditions raising "database couldn't be open on drive xxx"
In the interval virtualdj disappear from Task Manager
Installation process starts as far as virtualdj disappears from task visibility (not from processus) this is not visible from Task Manager anymore but still visible from Resource Manager and so it is still in use and not writable yet.
Being an or The Administrator can't help here

As for connect, nothing changed, maybe try restart the computer

qlimax1975 Home user Member since 2007 I found a workaround: install 7zip, after that unzip the installer and then run the program from the exe file. Hope that helps a little.
