I have an old version of BOINC that was damaged somehow, and when I attempt to remove it, it won't allow me to do so, even when I find the right (?) .msi file.

It's version 6.10.58, and I seem to recall I may need to reinstall the old version, remove it, and then install the new one to get it to work. Haven't been able to find 6.10.58 for Windows. Little help, please?

Thank you.

That did it, thanks. Wasn't coming up in a Google search for some reason.

Nice that you give that link, but also know that the 6.10.58 64bit version in that list is corrupt and can therefore not be used by anyone. And that then they'll have to use the Windows Program Uninstaller to remove that version.
