Re: Problems with installing BOINC 6.10.58

Can you please tell use the exact, verbatim message box content, ideally a screenshot.

OK, somehow could not see the screenshot before. Nothing to do with the firewall. BOINC installer cannot find the old BOINC installer file. Fetch the Microsoft Cleanup utility http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555175, not anything of other brand, then use that to remove the registration of the old install, then rerun the new installer. Alternately, fetch the software of your old BOINC version and run that again, choose to uninstall or repair, then run the 6.10.58 installer.

I've just installed the new WCG Skinned 6.10.58 and that went off without a hitch... smooth as smooth can be, but then I've no on-pc firewall.... only in the router.
