I have some version of BOINC in my computer. It is not installed. It will not install. I have used various tricks to delete it. It will not delete. I have tried to download a new BOINC. It will download but not install.

I'm using a TOSHIBA laptop, Windows XP (SP2)

Any ideas?

I have already tried MS cleanup tool. I found BOINC [5.4.11] I left it alone because it didn't match help instructions.[BOINC.msi] Should I go ahead and delete it?

YES! Kill Kill Kill!

Then you'll be able to install 5.10.45

I now have BOINC 5.4.11 and 5.10.45.0 showing in Control Panel. I can't delete either one of them from there. Also, Windows Install Clean Up don't work either. What's next?

Does the BOINC folder (and all of it's files) still exist, or has that been deleted already?
