I'm trying to install the latest version 3.6 of MuseScore and it will not install because it cannot find the previous (3.3.3.) msi file:
"MuseScore 3
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 'MuseScore-3.3.3-x86 64.msi' in the box below."
I've searched for the msi file but it's not on my system I also tried to uninstall using Windows Apps but that resulted in the same error. I also downloaded 3.3.3 but that didn't work either.

Then download that MIS file, from https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/releases/tag/v3.3.3, and point that install dialog at it, or use that just downlaoded 3.3.3 MSI to unisstall MuseScore and then install 3.6.2
AFAIK, this is a general Windows installer issue, nothing specific to MuseScore.

Thanks - that worked. In 20+ years I haven’t had a msi file go missing - thanks for providing the link. Uninstalling and installing 3.6.2 was still a bit bumpy but it worked in the end.

RE Marc Sabatella,
You are probably right or it didn't get installed correctly or, both 32 & 64 got installed so it is permanently stuck.
Got the 32 and 64 bit version of 3.3.3 and it says you don't have a product to uninstall.
I suppose, when I have time, will delete all files and edit the registry to remove all components of MuseScore.
