Can not be installed in administrator mode. Can not create user "boinc_admins". Solution ? Tank you. @+ _ From the changelog for Boinc 7.0.27: WINSETUP: Fix long standing installer bug where we were attempting to add the boinc_master account to the boinc_admins group when installing in the non-service install mode. boinc_master is only created during service installs. This was causing a setup failure on Windows 8. As far as I can tell it should have also been failing on Win7 and Win Vista. http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=6698 Claggy ID: 43995 ·
