Prey could not find my laptop after months of normal use. I uninstalled program from my computer, deleted the machine from Prey. Now I need to reinstall and cannot. Error message is : Something went wrong when installing Prey. Please make sure no other installations are ongoing. For more information see preyinstall.log file.
Hi @jerrypinskyboca, Could you please tell me in which device are you trying to install Prey? 
Let me know, have a nice day 
Same HP notebook 17-X116DX . Named JerryPinsky Windows 10 64-bit
I have uninstalled old version, tried to install older version, tried every trick on Prey website and error message is same. I have copy of log file but do not know where to send it or what it means except where it says “installation failed”
I have already sent everything I have. I give up.
I do not know what a DM is.
I cannot install Prey on my PC, now your web site says my iPhone has not been located in 4 days and cannot be located. It is in my hand. It is on and on wifi. But it cannot be located.
I will be closing my Prey account tomorrow because it does not seem to work. I am pretty sure if I log on with the app on my phone Prey will find it. I doubt if someone who steals my phone or finds it if lost will do that for me.
Direct Messages, upper rigt corner I need more information that’s why I sent you the message. I will be glad to help you with this problem! If you can’t find it, please send me the log and conf file to help@preyproject.com !
Thank you for your interest. I fixed it myself by going into Registry and deleting “prey” references. Then rebooted and tried to reinstall Prey. This time it worked perfectly.
