I tried to update to the new version but I get an error after decompressing that it cannot find BOINC.MSI. This also happens when I try to reload the prior version.

Right now I am unable to use BOINC for Seti@Home on my main computer. Was OK before the new version notice came today.

Any Help?

See the Windows Installer Error 1706: Setup cannot find the required files / 1714: older version cannot be removed / BOINC.msi cannot be found / The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable / Error 1325. is not a valid short name BOINC FAQ for more information.

I had the missing BOINC.msi problem too. And spent several hours trying to solve it before I came across this, which solved the problem and allowed me to install BOINC. :)

So pleased, I just had to share.
