(moderation:
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.

I have no idea how to help you. But there is a specific BOINC message board.
You may want to post your problem there too. Oh and by the way, you have to set up and account there, just like here at E@H.

jlass,
Did you do the uninstall through the Control Panel applet, like Billy G intended? Any chance that the Boinc folder files you deleted are still in the Recycle Bin, where it can be restored? I think some of them may be config files.
