Thanks for the help everyone, it would have been nice if there was an easy copy replace route, but guess not. I'll look into Lunatics, and/or go the hotspot to phone route.

I've noticed that the "client_state.xml" file has a record of exe & dll files downloaded successfully or not. Could that file be edited to tell Boinc that the files are downloaded? Does Boink parse that file on startup, or is it more a record the state, with no feedback to what might need to be done?

I believe the .exe & .dll files are the most recent since I copied them from a functioning installation at home. It's possible that it's the file Date Modified field that keys the attempted download, and overwrite, but I can't change that manually to test the hypothesis. I have tried the manual copying of the files with and without Seti attached and Boinc running or shutdown. Possibly my base question is how does Boinc know it should/should not download files? Or is that a Seti function?

4) Message boards : Questions and problems : Manualy copy *.exe and *.dll to project folder? (Message 92969)
Posted 27 Sep 2019 by volvy
Post:
I only run Seti on Boinc, so I'm not sure if this is a Seti or Boinc question. But when I add Seti to Boinc for the first time, it tries to down load a number of .exe and .dll files, astropulse etc. However I'm behind a firewall that does not allow the download of .exe and .dll files. I can copy all of those files manually to the correct location, but on every restart of Boinc, those files will be replaced by dummy files with the same names and 0 size.

How do I "tell" seti/Boinc that it already has the files, and not to try and download them again?

This happens regardless of Boinc or Windows version.

Current system in question:
Boinc 7.14.2 win x86_64
Window 10 Pro x64 build 1809
