i noticed that we now have a v8 but still running boinic 7.6.22
the problem i am having is that all the v8 WU are not being proceeded and ending up invalid or incomplete. i have allowed the new v8 thru my firewalls etc but i am at a lost as to why i can not get the new WU up and running. Anyone got any hints or have i missed a download or upgrade to cope with v8 WU.

BOINC is the managing program, its version number is separate from the version number of any project's science applications.

Seti Multibeam is version 8, Seti Astropulse is version 7, Einstein runs application versions between 1.06 and 1.56, LHC Sixtrack runs versions 451.07 and 452.02
Just giving examples of science application version numbers.

All your work exits with error too many exit(0)s which can normally be attributed to anti virus blocking the work. Which AV program/suite do you use, and have you ever set up the BOINC data directory (C:\programdata\BOINC\) as an exclusive folder so that it isn't actively scanned by the AV?

That is going to be difficult if we don't know what anti virus program you're using. It's not like all these developers have agreed to place the option in the same place and name it the same. Sadly so. ;-)
