SortOldest firstNewest firstHighest rated posts first Author Message jacklassSendmessage Joined: 2 Nov 05Posts: 5 Message 772 - Posted: 2 Nov 2005, 4:39:10 UTC I have attempted to install 5.25 with no success. I uninstalled all of 4.45 and got rid of everything related to Boinc in the registry. Now, when attempting to download either version I get (for 4.45) The configuration data for this product is corrupt; for 5.25 1714 Older version can't be removed. I am unable, therefore, to do any crunching. I need some serious tech help on this if anyone has any answers. Short of reformatting (a fate slightly worse than death) I have no Idea how to proceed. Further to this, I have managed to download 4.19 and I tried to replace it with 4.45. I got the same corrupt config. data error message. I then uninstalled 4.19 and tried again...still no luck. Frankly I'm stumped. I hope someone from Berkeley reads this and has some suggestions. It appears that some piece of 4.45, invisible to me, is still in my computer. What it can be I've no idea. ____________ ID: 772 · AgelessVolunteer moderatorProject administratorHelp desk expertSendmessage Joined: 29 Aug 05Posts: 11090 Message 776 - Posted: 2 Nov 2005, 8:09:08 UTC Last modified: 2 Nov 2005, 8:10:38 UTC Jack, Sorry, I am not from Mars or Berkeley. Just stupid 'Ollanda. ;) Just install your BOINC to a seperate directory. It may want to go to C:\\Program Files\\BOINC... put it either on a different partition/drive or in a different directory name. Even C:\\Program Files\\Keith his BOINC is good enough already, but I think you can figure out something better. ;) ____________ Jord Ha ha ha ha ha! You can't fool me!

I still get the error message: 1714 Older Version Cannot be Removed. Seems as though no one has any idea what the problem could be. I've tried everything anyone has suggested and short of reformatting (a fate worse than death) I don't know how to deal with this. My only option as I see it is to install a 2nd windows OS in a separate Partition and try that. But I don't know how that will effect my computer's performance. I just wish I knew how to get rid of whatever 5.2.2 is seeing. Thanks anyway.

It's really a Windows problem, not so much a BOINC problem. No need to complain that BOINC needs to fix this, as BOINC cannot fix problems that are made by Windows! It can happen that you to run into any of these errors when trying to install BOINC: Error 1706. Setup cannot find the required files or C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations\{DF85BFC4-9509-4AA9-824A-5C6057FA8459}\BOINC.msi cannot be found. or "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable". or Error 1714: older version cannot be removed or Error: Configuration data for this product is corrupt The reason for this error is that the old BOINC.msi (Microsoft Installation file) is corrupt for whatever reason. This should be easy to fix. Error 1325. XXX is not a valid short name. STEP 1. When your Windows version cannot find the old MSI file, you need to reinstall the old version of BOINC that you had before you started the upgrade, and choose to repair the installation. For this you need the old BOINC version installation file. If you no long
