Since Seti does not have a native AP application with SSE3 capabilities, something went wrong with you installing your optimized AP application. You'll have to do it again, as Seti won't be able to send it to you. Make sure you installed both the optimized AP application and the app_info.xml file to the correct directory. (For complete help, look at the Opti-AP thread.

That's normal. When you optimise, you have to download the application yourself, unpack it from whatever archive format it's in (I think they used 7-zip this time), and put the executable and any other required installation files in the project directory before starting BOINC.

Go into the 'transfers' tab and abort the transfer.......
Then shut down Boinc and check to see if the ap....exe app is still in the Seti projects file.....
If not, reinstall it and restart Boinc.....

I had this exact same problem when I installed the new ap app.

The exe just vanished for some dang reason........

After reinstalling it and rebooting a couple of times, all seems OK now.

The banished of the .exe reason is a wrong .xml file.

Our friend madmac must to install his SSE3 version of the AKV8, SSE3 astropulse version, and replace his .xml file with the version what I posted to him...

Best regards.

Or at least loaded the optimised Astropulse section into app_info.xml

If you modified app_info.xml (successfully), but didn't download the application files, or put them in the wrong place, that's exactly the error message that you would get.

Ah. If Logan sent Madmac a private build, privately, we'd better leave the two of you to sort it out between yourselves.

Just make sure that your app_info file matches the opti app he is running, as well as the new AP app...................

I'm sure it works too, as I modified my app_info going by that post. It's the first time I was able to switch apps in mid-stream without having the work units error out.

BOINC restart required after app_info.xml change.
Better to disable BOINC before putting anything new into project folder.
