Message 85571 - Posted: 13 Mar 2005, 4:15:33 UTC


Downloaded boinc some time ago and then went back to classic due to "behaviour" of boinc.
Thus have fairly old version resident but not being used.
Downloaded 4.25 the other day.
Are there any "on site" instructions or any peculiarties that I should be aware of ??

You need to un-install the older version before installing v4.25. Everything else will be retained. v4.25 will not install over previous versions under v4.2x. I read about this on the BOINC Synergy team site the other day. I'm running it and like it. Happy crunching.... >:-)

Once you are running 4.2X versions, they can simply be installed over the top of an earlier version as the MSI installer support fresh install and upgrades from 4.2x series.

BOINC v4.25 will not install over the top of v4.19 and earlier. It will install over the top of v4.2x and above. I believe that's what I said in my reply. >:-/
