So I have a completely new C: drive, O/S (and registry I assume). But my profile from the older system was retained.     When I try to install the latest DeskInstU.msi for XP. I get a message: "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable".     But I am pretty sure the problem is when it tries to UN-install the original package. If I go into Add-Remove programs - it is there. If I try to uninstall it - I get the same message.   Ok - Fine. So it let's me browse to the resource that *is* available - and I get a message "The file (DeskInstU.msi) is not a valid installation package".   Ok - Fine. So I copy what I think *is* the original installation package to a non-network directory on drive c: and browse to it - and it still get's the same message.   Ok - Fine. - Maybe I don't have the correct  "installation package". So I copied all of the older packages you have on your web site and tried each one. All were the same.   Yikes! This shouldn't be so hard. I can't uninstall the old one or install the new one. What am I doing wrong ?? Any assistance would be appreciated.   Thanks,   Peter IP Logged Jamie OConnell Administrator     Gender: Posts: 2027 Re: Can't install (or uninstall) Desktop restore « Reply #1 on: Mar 9th, 2009, 4:25am » Quote Modify Sounds like the Windows installer is hosed.  Try downloading the Installer Cleanup utility and running that.
