1Password won't install. Thinks a newer version is installed.

I had 1Password on my computer. After a system restore the app completely failed to work. I tried to reinstall but it always refuses because it thinks it's still installed. I've since purged out 1Password from my Local and Roaming AppData, as well as the registry; however, I get the same error.

Figured it out... had to delete the uninstall key at

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

Hey @shortbread31, thanks for the update. It's definitely strange that you continued to encounter that error after removing 1Password from your AppData folder. In any case, I'm glad to hear you were able to resolve this issue.
