It's only a cosmetic issue, the 6.2.14 core client is putting some information in the init_data.xml file which the application doesn't expect or need. Including the deadline will make it possible for apps to modify their processing based on how soon the results are needed by the project, I don't expect that feature to be used here though.

Joe Thank you for your response. It would be nice to see Seti use this code, may be this will happen one day. But it's not a biggie. Cheers Speedy ID: 788310 ·

It does not say that it is turned on, only the messages are accoutned for. 6.02 was being developed to be compatible with the Soon to be released 6.2.xx series of the BOINC Core Client. I do have to note that 6.2.14 will not be the final release to the general public. It is for testing purposes (BOINC) now.

I've been using BOINC 6.2.14 on 2 QUAD's, for 1 week now, except for the 'cosmetic' part, I think it works without error's. But, it IS better/wise, to wait for the official release, though. But, keep on crunching, ;^). ID: 788675 ·

Boinc 6.2.14 on Vista is running ok... but continues to be blocked and etc.;.. but runs fine when done manually. It seemd just fine previously Vista wise... Now however, after the install, It contributed to some lockups that forced be to cntrl-alt-del kill it... and remove it from startup. Previously some thoughts were to run it as a service? I wonder what the problems are now? I assume I a missing something? ID: 790761 ·

Is it possible to install 6.2.14 with out restarting your computer? Cheers! Matthew The official FAQ says that the system must be restarted: Accounts BOINC 6 will be able to run under your user name, but its installer will make new accounts specifically for BOINC when installed as a protected service: 'boinc_master', 'boinc_project', 'boinc_admins', 'boinc_users' and 'boinc_projects'. Before BOINC can use these new accounts, the computer needs to be rebooted at the end of installing BOINC. Without it, BOINC won't work. Make sure you closed/saved all other programs before clicking Finish on the installer as it will start the reboot process immediately! It will only need this reboot when you come from BOINC 4.xx and 5.x.x or had a 6.1.x version installed (including 3rd party BOINC). ID: 791132 ·

Then, in big red letters in the Messages tab was something about it still being a beta version (2 strikes). Strike 3 was when it didn't want to play ball when I tried to copy the xml files across from the old client. It was 2:30am, I was tired, cranky and in no mood to spend time mucking around to get it to do what I wanted it to do, so I deleted it and went back to 5.10.45 which I had up and running in 10 minutes including download time. Think I'll wait till SP1 before I try it again. :-) Brodo ID: 791278 ·
