Update failing to install

[Spacenuts]

hey all,
I am unable to play FAF right now because the lobby thing wanted to update so I downloaded it (FAForeverLobby 0.8.71.msi) but then when the installer runs it gives me the error:

The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'tmp26nbk1.msi' in the box below.
Use source:
c:\users\user\appdata\local\temp\

I'm running Vista
I've tried searching my c drive and all drives for this file it wants, i've tried downloading the update without the automatic updates method, i'm now at a loss.

If i click 'cancel' instead of 'OK (here is your file I don't have)' it tells me
'The older version of Forged Alliance Forever cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group'
so this is what I am doing. contacting you guys for some help because I am clueless, and can't play FAF or even look at the lobby until I get through this install wizard.

Thanks guys for any help you are able to give.

Search in the forum, this has been covered many time already (I think you need MSI Cleaner or something like that).

Ok ill search for that then? msi cleaner? because I already searched update problems and it said it was ignoring the words because they are common ones so i didn't really know what keywords to use

Thanks

Yes. Try on google too, its a MSI thing, not really directly related to FAF.

I found some program 'Microsoft Fix It' and ran it, first time didn't work then second time i let it 'uninstall FAF' (invert commas because whole FAF folder stayed) and now its running the installer without hitch. nice one Ze!
