Troubleshooting installation issues.
Before troubleshooting make sure ALL browsers that were in use have been restarted. Chrome is very notorious and is know to run in the background even though it's been closed. The best thing is to totally reboot the computer if Chrome is your main browser.
Next, try disabling your anti-virus and trying again. While the normal anti-virus should not affect the installation it's time we rule out all possibilities. Once disabled try installing again.
Thirdly, let's continue by removing the old certificate. Go to start and type certmgr.msc and click on it. (Note: You'll have to be logged in as Administrator. Otherwise, right-click on it and press "Run as administrator".)
Double-click on "Trusted Root Certificates".
Double-click on "Certificates".
Look for the certificate called Censornet with an expiration date of 09/01/2015.
Select it, Right-click on it and press delete. Press OK to confirm that you want to delete it.
Restart all open browsers and try again.
If that doesn't work, follow the instructions above again and remove BOTH censornet certificates and then re-run the installer.
