Cannot Uninstall v14.0.1329.0317

I have been trying to upgrade, but in order to do that I first need to
uninstall the current version, but every time I do it always asks me for the
original 'Foldershare.msi' which I deleted a long long time ago. I tried
pointing it to the new versions but it rejects it. Is there anyway I can get
a copy of this old install file or maybe someone can tell me how to manually
uninstall this version? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Cannot Uninstall v14.0.1329.0317

Hi Gerry,

We've seen this a few times before. Here's a potential solution:

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. (If you don't see FolderShare in the list, try selecting the
blank line - some versions have an issue where they don't show up properly in
the list.)

Please let us know if this resolves the issue.
