2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Missing BOINC.msi (Message 872348)

Hello,

I've jsut tried to install BOINC 6.4.7 over Boinc 5.8.15, as I have done in the past with upgrades.

However, now I am being asked for the BOINC.msi, which should be in the download installation files, but is not the correct version. I did a search, but was still unable to get the correct version anywhere. Since trying to do the install, Boinc manager is no longer in the Boinc folder, so I can not run Boinc, I can't uninstall the old version either without the missing msi.

Win2k sp4, 1Gb

Any thoughts?

Many thanks in advance

I am currently running both SETI and Einstein, but I get a http error on uploads of SETi only.

Einstein works fine.

I am going through a Proxy, using BOINC 5.7.2
XP SP2, AMD semp 3k, 512Mb

Any thoughs as to why this affects SETI only?

Cheers.

W2K SP4 through Proxy on Lan.
Unable to connect to projects. I get "failed to attach", but no reason.

I see the project website, etc, Tried bad "Password" that then returned a "bad user name or password" so I know name and password are correct, and BOINC is talking to the correct servers.
Checked Proxy settings, all ok, if altered then I get proxy screen up to fix.

Any thoughts?

7) Questions and Answers : Windows : switching between projects BOINC 4.45 (Message 170340)
Posted 21 Sep 2005 by Profile tiggertim
Post:
My problem is that BOINC (4.45)is no longer switching between projects. I have the normal one hour switch, between SETI (95 RS) & Einstien (50 RS). However, BOINC has not been switching between the project, but has carried on with whichever project was listed first in the work directory. It has now completely run out of work for Einstien.
When I try to update Einstien, I get the following;

21/09/2005 9:20:05 p.m.|Einstein@Home|Requesting 0 seconds of work, returning 0 results

No new work for Einstien is forth comming.

I have been able to switch project by using the suspend function, but that has not stopped depletion of work from Einstien.

W2K SP4, Athlon 2600, 512MB, 120Gb, Zone Alarm.

8) Questions and Answers : Wish list : WISH: BOINC window settings (Message 8651)
Posted 16 Jul 2004 by Profile tiggertim
Post:
It seems to save only some of the settings, Under file menu, it won't remember that I ticked Disable BOINC network access, etc.... which is what I need. But it did remember how I set my columns.
9) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Localized prefrences/configuration (Message 8647)
Posted 16 Jul 2004 by Profile tiggertim
Post:
I am wanting to be able to save localized prefrences, like Disable BOINC network access, etc.. on the local machine.
Each time I have a reboot, it forgets that I have changes some settings, I usually have always run, as well as disable network. when there is a reboot, BOINC will over-ride my internet setting and dial up, once connected, it won't disconnect...
I think it could be set via the ini file.
