Hi,
You can also try -- Francisco Garcia-Ascanio Program Manager Windows Live FolderShare "sk" <sk@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:F73C852D-F0C8-4121-A768-7D4C60644999@xxxxxx

Hi,
Sorry for the last post. You can also try the clean up utility: 1. Download and install the cleanup utility from: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;290301 2. Go to "C:\Program Files\Windows Installer Clean Up" and run the msicuu cleanup application 3. You will see a window with all your installed applications. Select FolderShare. Please let us know if this resolves the issue.

I saw this advice by you in an earlier post and it worked a treat. For others
who may also suffer a similar fate: the installer was used to remove a blank line and Foldershare did not appear in the list! Thanks again! -- sk "Francisco Garcia-Ascanio [MSFT]" wrote:

What a slick tip. I had been troubleshooting this for several hours and your
"blank line" tip was priceless. -- Thanks, Richard "sk" wrote:

Another Thank You for this. The "blank line" was my problem also. I would
never have thoguth this was FolderShare related. I used the utility and removed the blank line and was able to install the latest version. "sk" wrote:

Thanks for advice but no joy my end. Have tried MS install clean up utility (no blank lines that I could see), revouninstaller found lots of foldershare registry entries and uninstalled them but the came back again and not too confident to delete them all again. Did a system restore to prior to trying to update foldershare. But still same message: older version of foldershare cannot be removed. More help needed, please.
