Hi@all, this morning I wrote a small BOINC tool which tells you about the newest Core Client versions so that you won't have to check the BOINC web page. Screenshot: Download Perhaps it may have some use to someone... ^^ Greetings Petrus It will only work with Windows as it's written in Delphi ___<br> <img src="http://boincwapstats.sourceforge.net/counter.php?id=454210&style=2"> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/5klcp">Use</a> / <a href="http://petrus.homeftp.org/scripting/download/count.php?id=6">Download</a> |

Hmm, Minor idea for 1.1.1 version... Check the registry for the installed boinc version..and either there..or in its directory find the currently installed boinc version # and display it. |

Sounds interesting but for some reason I wasn't able to find the right key in the registry, if someone has got a clue where to find it ... would be great if you could tell me :) Of course the version is also found in the boinc directory, but the path differs from installation to installation so the user would have to put in the path. I think this would not be good for a little tool.

I could do a reg search I suppose... But I know when I compile boinc and run the executable from the compiled '/release' directory it finds the WUs and everything so it must be in the reg somewhere. HKEY_CURRENT_USER .slash. Software .slash. BOINC There appears to be a 'clientdir' key and 'clientpath' keys inside of that. |

I'm using 4.19 right now...so this could be. I just used "regedit" and did a search for the word "boinc". |

"HKCU\Software\BOINC\ClientDir" points to where "client_state.xml" can be found. It holds the installed version, look for "platform_name", "core_client_major_version" and "core_client_minor_version", all inside the "client_state" container. If installed as a service, there will also be a service registration in "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BOINC". No version info there, though. |

With more and more people switching to the new branch and especially when it will be the next stable release, I think it wouldn't be that good to use these keys...

I would suggest waiting for the official 4.2 release and then using the gui rpc feature to get the version. No registry, no slow file handling, only contacting localhost:1043. Every reply from the client contains the version number. And later, you can easily put a button on your form "Check the network for out-dated boinc clients" ... KEINE PANIK |

Thanks for adding the right click. Unfortunately it only copies the link to the stable copy (v 4.19 windows)and not the unstable versions. Boinc V7.2.42 Win7 i5 3.33G 4GB, GTX470 |
