I tried to update to a newer version, and I come up with a missing .MSI file during the installation. It seems to be on a temp directory which does not exist anymore.

I tried to remove the old Boinc, but recieved the same message.

Tried to go to an older version and received the same message.

Presently I can not recover from this situation. Can some one please advise me as to what to do.

I seem to remember that somebody wrote that you need to re-install the same version (5.9.4) as the installation file (.msi in this case) is not cached. After that, you can immediately update to newer version.

Thanks. I reinstalled the original version and it works. Will stay with this version until some projects have completed.

Thanks again. I was at a total loss.
