I am trying to download this, but it is says "GameMaker Studio 2 is already installed. Click OK to remove previous version or cancel to cancel this update." When I click OK, it closes and nothing happens. I searched for "Gamemaker" in This PC and nothing (except the installer) was there. Please help!

Try following the steps in this guide to remove everything, then reboot and try to install it again.

Make sure there is no AV or similar software active that may be interfering with the installation process.

I think I may know the problem. Check your computers C drive and find game maker 2 (+ version number) and see if the uninstall.exe application is in there.

I ran the uninstaller when I first got rid of it. it's not there anymore.

I've had similar sounding problems when I install a new version/update. During the installation process, the dialog box somehow gets hidden for some reason after I select "OK". As if it's underneath another window, or just not visible.

Make sure there are no other windows open, except those from the installer. And if the dialog box closes unexpectedly, try minimizing any other Studio windows to make sure it's not hiding underneath.
