Hello Boinc Dev's, thank you for your answers.
With the Information from Rom, I am able to conduct the authentication after deployment successfully. Is there any further information available on registry keys used by Boinc? with best regards and thanks, Emanuel ________________________________________ Von: boinc_dev [[email protected]] im Auftrag von Rom Walton [[email protected]] Gesendet: Dienstag, 19.

Without the registry settings BOINC assumes that the directory it was launched from is the data directory. When this happens BOINC should behave just like the self extracting archive we distribute for Linux. We could tweak things so that it attempts to detect whether a valid data directory exists at the default location and use that if it does. However, I would be concerned about file permissions. The installer tweaks the file permissions in both installer scenarios. ----- Rom -----Original Message----- From: boinc_dev [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jorden van der Elst Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 11:51 AM To: McLeod, John Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [boinc_dev] Relocating Boinc and still writing the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file On Tue, Mar 19, 2013 at 1:28 PM, McLeod, John <[email protected]> wrote: > Gui_rpc_auth.cfg is a very simple file that you can create yourself.

Yeah... but that leaves all information still in the registry. The Uninstaller doesn't remove those entries, as they (can) (will) be used when you next install BOINC. Remember that the BOINC installer will uninstall an older version of BOINC as well prior to installing the new version, so it can't remove the registry entries as else it forgets what to do the upgrade on. Which is exactly why moving a BOINC installation to a system that never had BOINC installed will not work, it'll miss the registry entries. -- -- Jord van der Elst. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
