Hi,
I had uninstalled source tree 1.8.3 and trying to install 1.9.6.2 but system says the most recent version of source tree is already installed on this computer, also tried to install latest version of source tree, but popup saying "JavaScript load error" shows on click button "use an existing account".
can you please help me resolve this issue?
Thanks
Hi! It could be that the uninstall hasn't cleared all the registry settings. You can go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features and make sure the older SourceTree versions are removed, then reboot your system to make sure the uninstall is complete.
If you want to give it another go, you can also try a clean install following the steps:
Regarding the error you mentioned when clicking the button "use an existing account", I guess you'll need to fix JavaScript in your Internet Explorer as Sourcetree relies on it for the authentication. You can find the instructions at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3135465/how-to-enable-javascript-in-windows
If after this you're still having trouble, please send us a screenshot and let us have a look at the logs.
Cheers!

Sourcetree uses IE for the authentication, regardless of which browser you normally use so we'll need you to confirm that the settings in Internet Explorer are correct so be can identify if this is causing the issue or not.
Make sure your IE is updated and follow the steps at How to enable Javascript on Windows to fix JavaScript in your Internet Explorer as Sourcetree relies on it for the authentication.
If after this it still fails, let us have a look at the logs.

Hi,
Are you using a Mac or PC?
In many instances when I've uninstalled a program there were files remaining that did not get deleted and you'll need to find those files and remove them.
One specific file that often causes this issue is the preferences file. There is a knowledge base article titled How to Wipe SourceTree Preferences. Go through that knowledge base article and delete any folders/files related to SourceTree and retry the install.
Cheers,
Branden
