  • How to install Dragon Center/Creator Center if I have already installed MSI Center?
    Why do you want to do that? But if you insist on making the “wrong decision”,
    • 1. Follow the steps above to uninstall MSI Center and MSI Center SDK.
    • 2. Search for MSI Dragon Center/MSI Creator Center in Microsoft Store to install Dragon Center/Creator Center.
    • 3. Waiting for the installation to complete.
  • Why does Dragon Center ask to uninstall MSI Center SDK before installing?

  • This is what you get for not liking MSI Center, but you can fix it by opening command prompt and type “reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\MSI” and enter “yes” after.
    Note.
    Make sure no MSI Center registry key left in the specific path

this may be the most bloated, most useless support software. nothing works correctly. too long install times, too many sub applications installed. usually fails or stalls when installing. msi really sucks at hardware/software support.
