Description

Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.40-20180123114110+895471b
my log id: 93ad98c42163c673de7e631c

Unable to update and apparently unable to uninstall enough that I can do a clean install. The first or nth time this happened I manually uninstalled, but the problem persists, as in

Series of dialog boxes:

The path 'C:\Users\xyzzy\AppData\Local\Package Cache{yadayada}v1.0.39.39\Keybase.msi' cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'Keybase.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product Keybase Apps.

The older version of Keybase Apps cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group.
