Sometimes, the installed Anti-Virus agent, especially if this is a particularly aggressive one like Norton or McAfee, may interfere with the download of the installer and/or the installation itself. So if installs fail, users should:
- Check the list of Installed Apps and uninstall PCS Pro/PCS AND its Prerequisites if these are shown on the list b but the application does not open or install error messages have been received
- Temporarily disable the installed Anti-Virus agent (and re-enable Windows Defender if this has been disabled) and try downloading and running the installer again
- If this is successful, users can re-enable the installed Anti-Virus agent but should add PCS Pro/PCS to its exclusions, as per https://support.nvplay.com/hc/en-gb/articles/7423238109209-Adding-NV-Play-Pro-Cricket-Scorer-Play-Cricket-Scorer-Pro-to-your-Anti-Virus-exclusions
- If the problem persists, try downloading the installer on a different internet connection, with their Anti-Virus agent temporarily disabled, and re-enable this and add PCS Pro/PCS to its exclusions as above
- If the problem still persists, users should consult their IT support, especially if they are trying to install PCS Pro/PCS on a computer controlled by an organisation, such as a workplace or school
If PCS Pro/PCS can still not be installed, please contact your respective support desk (play.cricket@ecb.co.uk or support@nvplay.com) for investigation.
