What's the best way to do the upgrade? Uninstall 6x then install 7 or install right over 6x or can/will it be installed along with 6x (have both installed)?

You can install 7 directly over 6.

However, due to changes to how client_state.xml is written to, once you have gone over to 7, you cannot return to 6 without getting problems.

Then you set No New Tasks under BOINC 7.0, run all work to end, upload & report it. Then uninstall 7.0, delete client_state.xml and client_state_prev.xml from your BOINC Data directory, reinstall BOINC 6.x, set Allow new tasks.

I don't think that there'll be a deadline. I'm still using BOINC 5!

Do you happen to have a service/protected application execution installation?

Yes, it's service installation. I'm with WinXP.

From Boinc 6.12.38 onwards:

client: Disable GPU detection of Windows when running as a service to avoid a deadlock condition with the latest ATI drivers.

Uninstall Boinc, then reinstall and on the Boinc configuration page, click Advanced, and untick Protected application execution, then run through the rest of the installation as normal.
(I'm not sure if you have to reboot, or have stop the service after uninstalling Boinc)

Message 1216331 - Posted: 9 Apr 2012, 23:08:38 UTC - in response to Message 1216305.

Works all okay with the optimized lunatics apps?

For those running anonymous platform without <flops> in the app_info.xml there's a possible issue. The <dont_use_dcf> feature implemented in changeset [25477] will eventually get turned on when the project's server code is updated to version 7. If an uneasy truce has been achieved with DCF greatly different than 1.0, runtime estimates will change greatly for a host running the BOINC 7.0 client.

The applicable checkin_note was added the next day:
David 22 Mar 2012 - client/server: add optional <dont_use_dcf/> to schedule reply. If set, client won't use DCF for this project. Make this the default in server code; we now do runtime estimation entirely on the server side, and the client-side mechanism is counterproductive.


The "optional" isn't very much so, the project would have to edit /boinc/sched/sched_types.cpp to not send it.

This is just a heads-up for those who might be affected, the server-side estimates of runtime have ignored DCF for more than a year.

What would be the formula for AP NV and MB NV?
