41) Message boards : Questions and problems : How do I delete a project? (Message 42341) Posted 29 Jan 2012 by TJ Post: Highlight the project you want deleted and hit <remove> button I don't know about older version of BOINC, but in the 6.xx.xx versions the button to remove (delete) a project is called "Detach", in the left menu under the tab "Projects" in the BOINC manager.
42) Message boards : Questions and problems : Help, I can no longer install boinc (Message 42335) Posted 28 Jan 2012 by TJ Post: The firewall was not an issue, I checked and boinc.exe was running too. So I did a reinstall again and checked the register. I deleted all files connected with BOINC, even the data folder. Then I powered down the pc instead of rebooting it. During an ice preparation I powered it up and installed a new version of BOINC 6.10.60 and booted it again. Then BOINC started automatically without errors and I added my projects again and the pc is now hapily crunching. I have to wait for some time if to see if the uploading of Rosetta and returning ready WU's to Einstein will work. Thank you guys for all the useful help and suggestions. I am happy again and glad not to do a complete system set up again. Thanks.

I used both your suggestions and indeed I could install BOINC again. Booted the system and now error reports, BOINC stopped working, two reports at one time and it seems that BOINC is not connected. However I am a bit further. I will work on it tomorrow (or overnight) as I now go and watch the WC Sprint. I keep you updated
44) Message boards : Questions and problems : Help, I can no longer install boinc (Message 42313) Posted 28 Jan 2012 by TJ Post: The exact message is: The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available. Insert the 'BOINC' disk and click OK. At "Use source:" is now standing 1, previously the unfindable BOINC.msi files. Why is installing or reinstalling BOINC so troublesome lately? I did many installations in the past without any issues. This is not fun and very time consuming.
45) Message boards : Questions and problems : Help, I can no longer install boinc (Message 42312) Posted 28 Jan 2012 by TJ Post: I searched for all the BOINC.msi files and deleted them. Did try to remove BOINC via software remove but then the message that it is looking for the BOINC cdrom with file name 1 where normally the BOINC.msi file could not be found. Has someone an idea, Jord? The only thing I can think of is format c: and do a new installation of the terrible windows and the needed programs. Unfortunately I need windows because I use some tailor made programs that run only in windows.
46) Message boards : Questions and problems : Help, I can no longer install boinc (Message 42306) Posted 28 Jan 2012 by TJ Post: So do a manual search for BOINC.msi (I found that Windows may not find any results if you search for boinc.msi, when the filename is BOINC.msi) and delete those entries by hand. Then try to install BOINC anew. Thanks Jord, I will do that tomorrow, I go no really sleeping. Good night
47) Message boards : Questions and problems : Help, I can no longer install boinc (Message 42304) Posted 27 Jan 2012 by TJ Post: But after search no boinc.wmi to find and to delete. It's not boinc.wmi, but boinc.msi .. this stands for MicroSoft Installer. isn't there any ini file where I can set where my data file is? The default paths to the data directories are: Windows 98/SE/ME: C:\Windows\All Users\BOINC\ or C:\Windows\Profiles\All Users\BOINC\ () Windows 2000/XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC\ () Windows Vista/Windows 7: C:\ProgramData\BOINC\ () () This directory may well be hidden, so either put the path to it directly into Windows Explorer, or instruct Windows Explorer to show hidden files and folders. I am still awake. I know these standard settings, but I don't want that on C: I have now: d:\science\boinc and d:\science\boinc\data I have that on all my pc's and is working fine, only one system was making trouble this morning as I was not able to send files to rosetta, upload pending for 5 hours. i should have left it along I think. What I mean is where can I let BOINC know where I have my data directory? Normally I do thta wit the installer and than Advanced, working fine till today as the BOINC.msi (you are right again ;-) ) is causing all trouble. If I (someone help me thus) resolve the msi problem than all is okay.

49) Message boards : Questions and problems : Help, I can no longer install boinc (Message 42298) Posted 27 Jan 2012 by TJ Post: Sorry, I went away for personal time. Anyway, I'm not sure what all you tried, but it sounds like your data directory is corrupted. What you can try to do is uninstall BOINC first. Then copy your present data directory to elsewhere, either on another drive, or just another directory. Next install BOINC and in the 3rd screen in the installer, click Advanced. In the next screen, change the second path to where you copied your data directory to. Then continue the installation as normal. If that works, it was something corrupt in the data directory and this has fixed that. You can then delete the OLD data directory. No problem Jord, an answer is always better than none and you can't sit behind your pc all the time. I tried all your steps from 1 to 5. But after search no boinc.wmi to find and to delete. The uninstaller didn't work. Your tip is what I tried a few times but after the third screen the nagging over the boinc.wmi starts again, where I never pass. Even with uninstall. Then I must perhaps work in the register. Anyway I have that pc dowm no and go to sleep.

Slow typer... 58 seconds too late. :P Thanks Jord, After trying a lot i did the methode with version 5 install via command line. Works. After upgrading to 6.10.60 same msi error. So I did the same with 6.10.60 and it worked, but my data drive is d:/science/Boinc/Data and ther it is not refering to it goes to the common in the Boinc_Temp (I made as you told). It run one Einstein cuda, I sent it in. And then deleted the boinc_temp but then I got errors again. How can I change manually a file so that DATA directs to the path I want (and have)? What can I do to update a next version? That will be msi problems again I guess? Hope you will help me once more. Thanks for your time.

Otehr options don't work. I tried repair first, reinstalling the samer version and such. I am afraid the pc must be completely new installed. But I don't have time. So no more BOINC in the coming weeks.
53) Message boards : Questions and problems : Help, I can no longer install boinc (Message 42282) Posted 27 Jan 2012 by TJ Post: Hello, I had a lot of problems with uploading today from a pc and after more than 6 hours trying to, while I need to study, all messed up as I got several error messages from boinc. I will install a new version but after several versions trying to install I get this message over and over again. "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package 'BOINC.msi' in the box below." Can anyone help please. What do I wrong and/or where can I find this BOINC.msi? Thanks a lot, TJ

56) Message boards : Projects : News on Project Outages (Message 40603) Posted 8 Oct 2011 by TJ Post: At 09:19 UTC MW is still not reachable. Even the main page doesn't come up. Pitty as I have cheap power in the weekend to run my watt-slurping rigs.
57) Message boards : Projects : News on Project Outages (Message 39239) Posted 24 Jul 2011 by TJ Post: Indeed -- based on previous A/C generated outages at RPI -- perhaps back for a recovery effort on Monday. That is what we have to pay for the double credit, that took to much power...;-)
58) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINCStats in Win7 not showing (Message 38637) Posted 23 Jun 2011 by TJ Post: And you have no other anti-spyware/anti-malware/anti-adware software installed? No A few things you could try are a) use a proxy and see if you can connect, b) try using firefox or chrome, or c) try connecting from a linux live cd/dvd. I installed Firefox and in there it works like a train. In other words I can look at all the statistics and so on. If you can ping the site then either something in your setup is specifically blocking IE from connecting to boincstats, or boincstats is blocking your host from connecting - I know Willie does ban scrapers. That's not the case then I think. It must be something with a setting in IE8 on this Win7x64 machine. I will look around. Thank you for your help Trog Dog. I do now know where I need to look for a solution.
59) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINCStats in Win7 not showing (Message 38606) Posted 20 Jun 2011 by TJ Post: Can you ping the site? Yes I can ping the site. Sorry for the late responce but I use this 1000W system only during cheap power rates. Firewall/antivirus is McAffee, installed on all my pc's with the same settings and no problems there with other OS.
60) Message boards : Questions and problems : Different question about BOINCStats (Message 38591) Posted 20 Jun 2011 by TJ Post: That is something you would have to ask at the BOINCStats forums. We're not that, while BOINCStats is not affiliated in any way with us. Of course, your problem is still to get there, reliably. Sorry I didn't know that I will go there with my question. It will do for the Win7 question as well.
