Solution for myViewBoard Installation Error

Modified on Fri, 5 Jun at 5:07 PM

 

A. Remove Any Previous Installations

 

1. Older or partial installs can block the setup

 

  • Go to Control Panel → Programs & Features
  • Uninstall:
    • myViewBoard
    • myViewBoard Whiteboard
    • Any ViewSonic-related apps

 

2. Then delete leftover folders:

C:\Program Files\ViewSonic\
C:\Program Files (x86)\ViewSonic\
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\ViewSonic\
 C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\ViewSonic\

 

B. Check Required Components

 

Make sure these are installed and up to date:

 

  • .NET Framework 4.8
  • Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables (2015–2022)

 

C. Temporarily Disable Security Software

 

1. Some antiviruses or system protections can block the installation

 

  • Temporarily disable antivirus
  • Turn off controlled folder access (if enabled)
  • Re-enable after installation

 

2. Verify Windows Installer Service

 

  • Press Windows + R → type services.msc
  • Locate Windows Installer
  • Ensure it is running

 

3. Advanced (If Issue Persists)

 

Run install with logging:

 

msiexec /i myviewboard.msi /L*v install.log

  • Look for errors like “Return value 3” in the log
