== Client Setup Logic for 6.0 Clients == Starting with the 6.0 client release the service-mode install type will be the only supported install type. We expect to receive the following benefits: * Simplified installation experience. * Increased security. * Increased stability for project applications. * Graphics available for all users, instead of just the first user to login. NOTE: Windows9x will continue to be treated as a single-user install.

EXEC END }}} === User Accounts === Two user accounts will be created, one to execute boinc.exe, and one that boinc.exe can use to launch science applications. NOTE: Including the computer name avoids name collisions when BOINC is installed on domain controllers. Users: {{{ boinc_ boinc_project_ }}} Both `boinc_` and `boinc_project_` should be setup so that their passwords never expire. A file should be dropped in the BOINC data directory called client_init.xml which contains the username and base64 encoded password for `boinc_project_`. The first time the client starts up after install it should read the file and store an encrypted form of the data in the state file using !CryptProtectData/CryptUnprotectData. After reading in the client_init.xml file it should be deleted. Groups: {{{ boinc_administrators boinc_project }}} Each group will contain the following members: || boinc_administrators || Administrator [[BR]] [[BR]] `boinc_` || || boinc_project || `boinc_project_` || || Guests || `boinc_project_` || === Data Directory === All data, configuration files, and logs will be moved to the following default location: {{{ Vista: C:\Users\All Users\BOINC 2000/XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC }}} Under BOINC there will be a 'projects' and 'slots' directory. Directories will have the following permissions: || BOINC || SYSTEM (Full Control) [[BR]] Administrators (Full Control) [[BR]] boinc_administrators (Modify, Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read, Write) [[BR]] boinc_projects (Deny All) || || BOINC\projects || SYSTEM (Full Control) [[BR]] Administrators (Full Control) [[BR]] boinc_administrators (Modify, Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read, Write) [[BR]] boinc_projects (Modify, Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read, Write) || || BOINC\slots || SYSTEM (Full Control) [[BR]] Administrators (Full Control) [[BR]] boinc_administrators (Modify, Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read, Write) [[BR]] boinc_projects (Modify, Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read, Write) || Notes: What to do if an organization has disabled the 'Bypass Traverse Checking' user right for Everyone? See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823659 for more details. === Executables Directory === Same location as the previous releases. {{{ C:\Program Files\BOINC }}} Directory will have the following permissions: || BOINC || SYSTEM (Full Control) [[BR]] Administrators (Full Control) [[BR]] boinc_administrators (Modify, Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read, Write) [[BR]] boinc_projects (Deny All) || === Additional Notes === Each time an installation occurs, both of the account passwords should be reset and a new randomly generated password should be used.
