Windows trying to configure TrayApp

Hi Judith,

There is possibility that a corruption in system files is the one causing the issue. Let's have this verified, we would like to have a screenshot of the "TrayApp" window. This will help us fully determine the cause of its unsuccessful installation.

In the meantime, we suggest deleting all the Temporary files as they may cause conflict on the installation of the TrayApp.

Here is how:

• Press Windows key + R and type "%temp%" in; then, press
  Enter.
• Delete all the files that will show up.

Let us know if deleting the Temporary files would allow you installing the TrayApp.
