Maybe try reinstalling FME 2017 to the same folder, then uninstall after.
You can find FME 2017.0.1.1 here: https://www.safe.com/support/downloads/#past-versions
Hi @jaro did you ever figure this out? I tried recommendation by @david_r but I am unable to install using the same version, and I get the same error about the missing fme_eval.msi file. I also tried installing a new version over the top but the installer fails because it is unable to uninstall the previous/existing version.

Hello,
No, unfortunately I couldn't solve it. It was one of the reasons which forced me to buy a new PC and do a fresh installation. So I didn't work on the problem anymore. But I understand how annoying it is.

Thanks for the reply @jaro . In the end I was able to download the matching version from the past versions page https://www.safe.com/support/downloads/#past-versions, then renamed the installer as fme_eval.msi. This was sufficient enough to perform the uninstall. Posting the update here in case it helps someone else down the road.

Woow, good idea, congrats!
