Trying to install V7 I get this strange error that I cannot fix to save my butt.
How can I install V7?



" The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.

Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'BOINC.msi' in the box below.

Use source C\Windows\Downloaded Installation\{E1ED261........."

I did a search and found the .msi file in another C\Windows\Downloaded Installation folder so I copied this location into the box and tried again. Get the same error.

When I Cancel I get a Boinc Error 1706 and it cannot continue. The Install Wizard then naturally closes because the installation was not completed.

I was trying to uninstall the Boinc V6 so I could install V7. I also tried to install V7 on it's own. Now I have neither one.

Jorden,

Bless you my son! That's really strange since I'm not Catholic. GGG Sorry to take so long, my router died and it's taking me a while to get acclimated.
The Windows Installer Cleanup Utility is what saved the day. Thanks again!
