2) Message boards : BOINC Manager : 7.16.11 win10 x64 client doesn't report new version (7.16.20) available from Help/Check for new BOINC version menu item (Message 105813) Posted 20 Oct 2021 by Darin May Post: Should it be? Ireported this bug a long time ago on another update event. Seems this is not fixed.

3) Message boards : BOINC client : BOINC 7 development discussion thread. (Message 86115) Posted 6 May 2018 by Darin May Post: Yes. I only run Win x64 clients and I don't do a service install. I always let the installer overwrite the previous install without adjusting the paths. This has only happened once before but it was a long time ago and it was between major versions. I suspect it's a similar cause. As for the registry, I see that there are multiple reg keys with different paths and that may be cruft from the longevity of me testing client releases. It may be a worthy goal of the installer to either clean up or detect older/conflicting reg keys as I don't think it cleans up properly after a full uninstall.

4) Message boards : BOINC client : BOINC 7 development discussion thread. (Message 86108) Posted 5 May 2018 by Darin May Post: I have BOINC installed in a non-default path of D:\apps\BOINC and the data at D:\apps\BOINC\data The 7.9.x and 7.10.x installers aren't honoring the existing install paths, they're using the default C:\Program Files... paths. When I re-install 7.8 it sees my custom paths on D:\apps\... again -- no manual intervention needed. I suspect the newer installers aren't parsing the registry correctly to find the current install paths.

(Message 86104) Posted 5 May 2018 by Darin May Post: Re: 7.10.2 Win x64 installer Both this and the 7.9.x installers don't see active projects when installed over a working 7.8.x install. I'm prompted to add a project to an empty project pane. Downgrading back to 7.8.3 works fine. All projects enumerated and pick up where they left off.

6) Message boards : BOINC client : Win64 7.8.1 client didn't advise 7.8.2 version available when "Check for new BOINC version" selected (Message 80861) Posted 6 Sep 2017 by Darin May Post: Any guess why?

A manual install of the latest driver fixed the problem. 381.65
