unable to install on Win7 x64 box. I get the error message that "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." It is asking me to use a source from the Downloaded Installation folder where a BOINC.msi resides but will not accept it. I downloaded this install package straight from BOINC web site onto this Win7 box. No Intranet resources were used. I tried to create the folder Boinc is looking for and placing the BOINC.msi file into it and relaunched the install and it still didnt work. I get the following... "Error 1706.No valid source could be found for product BOINC. The Windows Installer cannot continue. I was running BOINC fine until I tried to upgrade to the latest version. When It failed, I went through the PC and deleted all references to BOINC from files/folders & registry. Please help.
