Well I seem to be in a bit of a pickle with the latest client. It won't install. It goes through the process, then gives me an error box saying a feature I am trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. It asks for an alternate path to the BOINC.msi file, which I find and point to it, but it still gives the error.

So the install fails. But it FUBARed the install I had on my PC, so it won't run. And I can't uninstall it with Windows Uninstall for the same reason.

So now my old client is gone and the new one won't install. Help, please?

It's a problem where Windows forgets where it installed the previous version, and it cannot uninstall that version. See this BOINC FAQ for solutions to the problem.

Well it finally took the Install and Uninstaller from Microsoft but I finally got the old one removed and the new one installed.

Great. :-)

Now, the screen saver problem is known. Information and updates about that can be found in the release news thread. If you run into the screen saver flickering problem, just don't use the BOINC screen saver for the moment.
