So, i downloaded the 0.19.2 installer from https://www.freecadweb.org/downloads.php. I ran the exe and got this error. The thing is i've never used FreeCAD before so i don't understand why im getting this error. :?:

OS: Windows 10
Version: 0.19.2

Can you look into the list of currently running processes looking for one called FreeCAD or similar?

You can try the non install version from here: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-AppI ... kly-builds. It avoids the installer with possible additional issues. Unpack the downloaded package with 7unzip or unrar and run freecad.exe right away.
