Wouldn't it have been a good idea to leave v5.10.45 for Windows and Windows x64, because nobody has got round to fixing http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/ticket/652? Read the changelog for version 6.2.4: "WINSETUP: Block installing on domain controllers for this release. (I'll fix this for the next release cycle, or a future 6.2 release.)" With no v5, and no fix, BOINC cannot be installed on Windows Small Business Servers, which I suspect typically have a great number of spare cycles to donate. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list boinc_dev@ssl.berkeley.edu http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
