Fixing problems with Windows Installer keys for Logos
Problem
You may receive the following errors when attempting to update or reinstall Logos Bible Software:
- "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable."
- "Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot be continued. To configure or remove existing version of this product, use add/remove program in control panel."
Solution
These errors occur because the Windows Installer did not remove all the Logos entries from your registry or those registry entries have been corrupted. You can use a Microsoft Troubleshooter to remove the registry entries that are causing the problem.

Part 2: Using the Microsoft Troubleshooter
