17 R5, cannot uninstall AWCC
Title states one of the problems. Have a newish 17R5. When I launched the command center today (5.1.18) the software began an update. It properly downloads the update and then proceeds to install v5 1.24.0 (A00). I click "install", it extracts the files an begins the wizard.
Then I receive the first error: "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable."
It is looking for 'Alienware Command Center Suite.msi'. I am assuming is is for uninstalling the current version because when I point to the .msi just extracted I receive "...is not a valid installation package..." When I cancel the process another error: Error 1714: The older version of Alienware Command Center Suite cannot be removed." Then error 1603 "Fatal error during installation." I cannot find any other version on the computer.
After I close the installer the currently installed command center stays open but is unusable. I attempted to uninstall through the control panel and receive this error: "The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and you can access it." It is looking for ed458.msi.
I have watched the video and followed the instructions for uninstalling / reinstalling command center and it does not work. Problem 1 is I cannot uninstall. Problem 2 is some of the noted folders are not present. Problem 3 is none of the registry keys are found when I search for them.
I need a way to manually remove the command center software in order to install the current version since the installer is broken. I have also manually downloaded the current command center and the same issues apply. It seems to boil-down to an inability to remove the current version.
