KStars Windows client problems - reporting/asking again

Hello,
I reported these several times before. Still not resolved (for me).
Let me emphasize - this is only for Windows client (not Linux, not Mac) connected to RPI server running Stellarmate.

Everything works except for:
-- Polar Alignment Assistant doesn't go through. It rotates, takes pictures but when I hit "Refresh" to perform actual alignment, it doesn't refresh saying "cannot capture while CCD exposure is in progress. retry in 10 sec".
(works fine on RPI client. only doesn't work on windows client)
-- I cannot install/uninstall KStars properly. (I kill dbus-daemon.exe and kstars.exe if present). Still, if I try to install/uninstall KStars I get "Access denied" error messages. At the same time I can actually delete the whole KStars folder (in Program Files) and then installation goes through.

I just want to understand if it's my problem or a general problem/bug.

I am running Windows 7 64bit

People who use Windows client please confirm if you can
-- successfully Polar Align with Refresh working
-- install/uninstall KStars

Thanks!

Can’t help with polar align issue, but have installed and uninstalled Kstars from windows without errors...but when you update it, you just install over the top, then any errors should be repaired during the new install.. HTH

I only can install after I delete or rename previous installation.
I tried safe mode, administrator account.
Tried deleting/removing everything kstars-related.
After a fresh install - same story I cannot install new or uninstall previous.
