I see others are having problems with exactly the reason why I came here in the first place. I'm running 5.2.13 and there is no information anywhere about how to upgrade.
Is the recommended procedure to uninstall then install? Do we lose config data or work in process?


the whole 2 people that i know about from the forums wcg seemed to go ok, for some reason my upgrade messed up,

1st thing their expereince - one exit boinc but NOT uninstall, just
install over the top.. i hds oem probs on one puter more on that later but once i worked it out it was just 2 minutes to do it all including d/l , ok got fast connection :) but LEAVE old prog on puter, do not unistall, but DO exit any running progs then just run windows installer ( from disk) and it should go real smooth..


i did have probs on one puter for some unknow reason,,, it would not let me install and even worse qwould not let me unistall, however i managed to reinstall the old boinc using a "repair: option then install the new boinc over the top... i suspect something corrupt but the others did not have this experience... as for my linux box, well i will wait and see, the new boinc seems to be slightly better and has some nice little extra features.. i am not convinced it is worth the fiddle that i had on one puter but was smooth as silk on my 2nd xp machine... cheers yes u figured right, i did come here to this fourm cos i got stuck and wcg did not have advice to help , hmm neither did this one btw, i just dstruggl;ed till i figured out a way.. should not be a problem, all the best cheers


am suspecting a corrupt windows installer floating aournd out there somewhere... i re d/l boinc again and had same probwith a 2nd d/l , hmm something corrupted but then the 2nd d/l win install worked ok,, hmmm interesting

BOINC 5.4.9 is now the new recommended version.
Go get it while it's still hot. :)
... And a message if you are using a proxy:
This version has problems with NTLM authentication. Berkeley expect to have this fixed in the next couple of days, though.
