microchip,

What happens if you launch the 'boinc' executable manually? You can use CTRL-C to manually shutdown the client. If everything is working correctly you'll see all of the child processes of BOINC cleaned up.

It is only for ARM at the moment. A future version should be able to support both.

for those experiencing the failure to connect problem...

Could you type the following command from a command line in the c:\programdata\boinc directory:

cacls .


and these commands as well:

net localgroup boinc_admins

net localgroup boinc_users


Thanks in advance.

Hi Jord -
thanks. With these infos, there was no problem to introduce 'user' as a member of the boinc_users group.
Nevertheless, the user still has no access to BOINC.
By and regards Udo

When I "launch another BOINC manager" I get 40 instances of localhost:31002.

How do I clear them out of ... what table??

(I'm sure I created this mess sometime in the past but I don't know when or how ...)

Can you post a picture of what you are seeing?

Hi all -

as recommended by BOINC I updated to 7.0.64.
Now BOINC does not start as a normal user and gives the message: Wrong password.
As Administrator there is still no problem to start BOINC, but I don't want to change the start to "as Administrator" because I am then always forced to give in the administrator password.

What password is meant?
Why does such an update change my rights?
How can I manage to start BOINC as a normal user without giving in a password?

I am frustrated because it already costed me much time to find out that I don't know anything and what to do.
My home system is Windows-7 and 64bit.
Regards Udo


When you installed BOINC, did you install as a service? or was it installed without the service option selected?

I thought we enabled this scenario over a year ago (It should work with 7.0.28 as well as the latest release) in combination with vboxwrapper.

Posted 6 Nov 2012 by Rom Walton
Post:
Go to the Property Manager and tweak the values of:
ENABLEPROTECTEDAPPLICATIONEXECUTION2 to 1
ENABLESCREENSAVER to 0

Setting ENABLEPROTECTEDAPPLICATIONEXECUTION2 to 1 should cause the installer to install BOINC as a service.

Setting ENABLESCREENSAVER to 0 should prevent the installer from setting the screensaver by default.

For an experiment, could you go ahead and reinstall 7.0.26 and use the same log file settings Jord suggested.

The log output below was generated with 7.0.25 using the old version of libcurl.

It would also be helpful to see the log output for the attempt to talk to a project which happens before the attempt to talk to google.

Thanks in advance.
