I'm setting up several machines to run only the service, with full installation on a couple, and it occurred to me that someone else may have already worked this out.

Does anyone know the minimal files necessary to run BOINC as a service?

AFAIK, the only file that is not needed is the BOINC Manager (boinccmd.exe on windows). So, I think it isn't worth the effort to make a special "service installation" template.

BOINC Manager is boincmgr.exe
BOINC Command Line utility is boinccmd.exe

Of course you are right. Got the wrong line in explorer to copy&paste :-)

Not needed either : Most or even all of the stuff in "locale" (quite a lot of stuff there), the icon, copying / copyright - read before delete ;-)
