Another instance of Sonarr is already running

I did a reinstall of Sonarr and I am getting “Another instance of Sonarr is already running.”

I am running the latest version of Sonarr from the site and am using Windows 7 if that helps.

Looks like the windows service is running and you’re trying to run Sonarr another way as well. Az if you don’t want to run the Windows service you can stop and disable it or remove it.

Thank you for the response. How can I stop or disable it? I am pretty green when it comes this.

You can remove it by running the service uninstall executable in C:\ProgramData\NzbDrone\bin

OK, so I ran the service uninstall exeutible as administrator and checked services and nzbdrone was gone. I then tried to open Sonarr and it gave me a pop up that was titled ‘Epic Fail’ and had some writing. I didn’t copy it but I could probably get it to show again if necessarry. after that I copied the logs and even though it still won’t open it isn’t saying ‘Another instance…’ any more.Here are the logs after the service uninstall.

I made the pop up happen again and copied what it said.

Looks like a problem with the .net framework on your system:

Could not load file or assembly 'System.Core, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e, Retargetable=Yes' or one of its dependencies.
