Unable to access my exams, would say "Modify Setup"

[22000886-Jana]

Describe the Bug I am able to install the software but when I try to click on the exam file it will say "Modify Setup" I have tried everything, there is more than 4.5 GB storage on my laptop and I have installed .NetFramework. Still unable to access my exam, i have contacted my school's helpdesk but they cant help me and asked me to contact your team.

Steps to Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. I went to download the SEB software that was provided by my school
2. It says "Installation Successful"
3. I go and click on the file provided by my school to start my exam
4. I saw the "Modify Setup" prompt, and asked me to uninstall the software.

Expected Behavior The prompt Modify Setup appears when I try to access my exam, and asked me to uninstall the software.

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem. ^ says installation is successful

^ clicked on this file that was provided by my school to start the exam ^ modify setup

Version Information

• OS: Windows 10 Education
• SEB-Version: 3.4.1.505

Additional Context I have even downloaded the newest version of SEB and it doesn't work. My computer has more than enough storage and I made sure my computer has .NetFramework

1. Uninstall Safe Exam Browser via the system control panel.
2. Restart your machine.
3. Install the latest release version by using the setup bundle (.exe).

Delete the installer exe file This might resolve the issue as it opens that as default

Hi, Could you please give me instructions on where to find it? Please advice thanks

Check your downloads folder When you installed safe exam browser u probably used seb_installer_380.exe or something similar

[22000886-Jana]

Either do what @dbuechel said or go into c:/program files/Safe Exam Browser/ and look for a file called uninst000.exe rename it Idk wether this works

[wxnnvs]

Im not a smart guy though, so it might just mess it up more

[dbuechel]

@22000886-Jana Please try the steps specified above (reinstallation). Should that not fix the issue, please verify in the system settings that the .seb file extension and seb(s):// URL protocols are linked correctly to the main executable of SEB (SafeExamBrowser.exe).

Just open the exam_file.seb in SEB Configuration.exe with Open Configuration, then safe to local client configuration, and then open the exam at Start menu Safe Exam Browser
