Keeps looking for a non-existent installation file both for installing and uninstalling and no longer runs.

If it's the missing msi problem, then try this post.

Or, if it's the screen saver problem, then try this post.

For anything else, lots more info is required, so see this longish post.

The FAQ that link points to is no longer around, Les. The old BOINC FAQs have died a sudden death due to a server change and the old software not being compatible with the new PHP version on the new server. Thus, please point to the new BOINC FAQs from here on in, which for that FAQ is at https://boinc.mundayweb.com/wiki/index.php?title=Windows_Installer_Error_1706:_Setup_cannot_find_the_required_files

Thanks guys. Have one more problem: The BAM! is claiming that both my username and email address (when I tried to get into it) are both in use (if I try Registering) and not in use (if I try resetting the connection). Who do I see about it?

EDIT: Nevermind. Wouldn't let me into the webpage, but did attach to the account from the Manager anyway. Strange.
