Additional Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Resolution |
| The installer doesn't have permissions to run | Try running the installer as an administrator by right-clicking the installer file, and selecting Run as administrator. |
| The installer didn't create a shortcut | Open File Explorer, and navigate to the location you installed DentiMax in (likely C:\Program Files (x86)\DentiMax). Find the file named dentimax.exe, right-click it, hover the cursor over Send to, and select Desktop (create shortcut). If you're on Windows 11, click Show more options after right-clicking the file to see Send to. |
| The installer says other applications are preventing the installation | Make sure all conflicting applications are closed. If the conflicting application is an anti virus, you usually don't need to stop/close it. However, if the installation continues to fail to run, try stopping/closing the machine's anti virus until you are done installing DentiMax. |
