I could not get this add on to work. It was not recognizing the programdata\boinc sub folder for the current version. And it was not letting me change the folder selection. I finally figured out that programdata was a hidden subfolder so it was not seeing it. I changed the properties and reinstalled LogX. I was able to select the proper folder but now when I turn my computer on LogX reverts back to the wrong folder and I have to uninstall/reinstall LogX to get it back onto the programdata subfolder. Any fixes for this non-sense? |

This is a third party program. You might be better off finding a forum specific to the program. BOINC WIKI |

Why "non-sense"? It is simple - the program is old and not designed for Vista/7 (but it can work on them) The program writes its BoincLogX.ini file and logs folder in its install directory! (as many old programs). The solution - just NOT install in C:\Program Files\ (C:\Program Files\ is write-protected directory on Vista/7) Make (manually) e.g.: C:\Programs.XP ... and install old programs there.
