Gui_rpc_auth.cfg is a very simple file that you can create yourself.  It has 
one line of text that is the password.

A completely clean uninstall of BOINC is Run the uninstaller followed by 
deleting the BOINC Data directory.

Subject: [boinc_dev] Relocating Boinc and still writing the gui_rpc_auth.cfg 
file

Hello Boinc Dev's

If I copy the files contained in Boinc's program directory and the structure of 
Boinc's ProgramData directory (where global_prefs.xml and other configuration 
files are located) to a new machine and simlpy start boinc.exe what are the 
requirements for Boinc to function properly? 

At the moment, Boinc seems to work fine this way, but only if Boinc has been 
installed on the test machine previously. 
If I test the behaviour on a completely clean machine, Boinc does not write the 
gui_rpc_auth.cfg file, and thus denies my connection attempts, since I don't 
know the password.

How could I overcome this behavior? 
What is necassary to do a clean uninstall of Boinc?

with best regards, 
thank you for your help,
Emanuel
