Even after deleting the folder “C:\Program Files\Storj”, the problem still persists. What should I do?
describe the problem
I accidentally forgot to put the port on the ip:port blank space. So I am facing the above problem repeatedly after multiple times of failure.
you deleted it, and now you instaled it again?
yup. I deleted the above mentioned folder and tried reinstalling again but the I am facing the same problem repeatedly.
did storj folder apeared again?
Obviously, yes!
After doing a install the folder will appear.
But the problem is that the above dialogue box appears again without continuing the successful installation!
i think problem is that you not deleted service, then you cant instal this again
you need open CMD as administrator
then write there sc.exe delete storagenode
This is the reply that I get from the CMD prompt.

you not deleted all data from node hdd? or you want repear old node?
I just want to do a GUI install where I have the old data files.
Please, use a previous version of installer. Seems the new one has a bug.
Then autoupdater should take care of it.
