Set Seti for now to No New Work under the Projects tab in Boinc Manager. Run your cache empty. Upload & report all work. Exit BOINC completely. If you're using a service install, stop the service and close Boinc Manager. Navigate to \\BOINC\\projects\\setiathome.berkeley.edu Delete the optimized application and the app_info.xml file Restart BOINC. Set Seti to Allow new work under the Projects tab in Boinc Manager. Yet!!! Seti Enhanced is gradually added to Seti. It is possible you will redownload Seti 4.18 and units for it and crunch that. So set your cache smaller. ID: 295309 ·

I also dropped my cache to .2 ID: 295310 ·

Don't know, but I'm giving "The Bee"'s method (Here) a try. Seems to make sense even though I've never tried to understand the app_info file. Note, you have to do your own app and dll downloads. Now waiting for a WU ID: 295314 ·

Those running Trux's or one of the other optimized (5.2.x or higher) BOINC Core's will work... Seti enhanced Does Not use Benchmark's... Do Not use calibration with Seti Enhanced... Yes, 5.4.x is getting very close to release... Pappa Please consider a Donation to the Seti Project. ID: 295316 ·

Now waiting for a WU You shouldn't have to download the enhanced version yourself...BOINC should grab the new application (if warranted) along with an enhanced WU. I could be wrong? ID: 295318 ·

Michael I have tested Trux 5.2.13tx with No ill effects (on several machines) in Seti Enhanced Beta... The Key is Not calibrate the Seti Enhanced... Currently I have been migrating to the various 5.4.x I have 5.4.7 running on one with no problems...

It will still use the Crunch3r's application to process the old work units without the app_info.xml..until it downloads more WU that are not enhanced, then it will grab the standard application..which is why i lowered my cache considerably.

Last modified: 4 May 2006, 21:10:19 UTC The right way? Don't know, but I'm giving "The Bee"'s method (Here) a try. ... And after getting zero credit on a bunch of "normal" seti-wu and no hope of ever seeing an "enhanced"-wu, would recommend you starts reading What is SETI@Home Enhanced?, especially the last line: it is important that you use "setiathome_enhanced" as the application name. The highly recommended method is as has already been mentioned, set "no new work", run-out of old work & report, delete app_info.xml & re-start BOINC. Yes, it is possible to make a working app_info.xml, but I won't recommend this method currently, since there's likely one or more bugs that pops-up when now distributed to more computers, and bug-fixes means new applications...

With the typical app_info.xml that comes with an optimized science application, you won't get an enhanced work unit. ID: 295386 ·
