But what do these people have to do who does not have this file?

That's a silly question dude.. When you don't have the "mbae64.sys" file, you wont get that particular error since there is nothing to replace. Only while replacing the existing file from old version, this error occurs.

If you have v2 installed you dont have this file , only after upgrading to v3 the file is present.
