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.

Pete 12 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 If you have v2 installed you dont have this file , only after upgrading to v3 the file is present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
