Does anybody have a viable BOINC v6.00 (32bit Windows) available for testing yet? I know Crunch3r has one called Windows 32bit 6.1.0.32, but I'd prefer an official(ish) one for testing.

The reason I ask is that SETI Beta have just put up a v6.00 science app with Vista compatible graphics for testing - I'd like to test it properly. Many thanks in advance.

BOINC 6.1 has temporarily gone back to the drawing board. A couple of us have tested 6.1.5 but we came across too many problems to even throw it onto the Alpha testers group. Mainly problems with the installer and the service, though.

If BOINC Manager is started by hand it runs fine. No graphics available.
But other than that... best to stay clear of it for now.

I don't mind running a test version by hand, but "No graphics" rather scuppers any idea of testing - the new standalone graphics component in SETI!

I don't mind running through manual installation steps either, if anyone has a pre-installer version with Vista graphics - if it's pre-release, you may prefer to PM me at SETI or SETI Beta.

Yep, 6.1.5 is one to forget after it detached half the projects of its own volitions and ate thru the 20 odd queued jobs of the remaining projects in a matter of minutes....

I didn't see that. Mine just claimed all the time I had NO projects attached. ;-)
