Reinstalled Splunk after web interface went down, still doesn't work

I recently had access to my Splunk web interface with morning. It said an update was required so I did that and then restarted Splunk. After the restart, the web interface never came back, Splunk would say it was running with ./splunk status command, and it was even listening on ports 8089 and 9997, which had been configured earlier. I tried everything to get it to work again and it just would not. My computers firewall was completely disabled and Splunk would continue to have an inactive web interface. I completely uninstalled it and reinstalled Splunk, and to my surprise:

This frustrating message appeared. SO it seems I will no longer have access to the web interface even after a complete reinstall. Is this just a broken application now? Wouldn't a reinstall have gotten my Splunk back online when it worked only this morning?
