To add to what Claggy said.

Stock SETI@home application does not have app_info.xml

Optimized SETI@home application (Example: Lunatics application) has app_info.xml



If you have stock seti app, you don't have app_info.xml so you can stop looking for it, it is not there.

If you have Lunatics app, then you have app_info.xml If you have an old one, you need to modify it. You can modify it manually (pain in the a$$) or you can use newest Lunatics installer to create new app_info.xml file, you choice how to do it.

before I ask, I have seen a number of posts covering app_info.xml, but none of them seem to answer why it's missing from the the installation. On my event log I get the error message "07/06/2013 13:21:31 | SETI@home | Message from server: Your app_info.xml file doesn't have a usable version of SETI@home v7." Could anyone answer for me how to correct this and answer, why it's missing in the first place.

Thanks

An app_info.xml is a file you compose that enables you to run your own applications, it is not there by default, if you didn't compose it with v7 applications in it, you won't get v7 work.

Eithier revert to the Stock apps by removing your app_info, reset the project, and restarting Boinc, or go and Install up to date v7 apps with the 0.41 Lunatics Installer.
