This morning, I did some BOINC 7.8.1 Windows installer testing, for both the BOINC-only installer and the BOINC+VBox installer... including testing fresh installs, and upgrade installs from 7.8.0.
Everything seemed to work great for me. And, as my reward, this afternoon my main rig completed a 320+day RNA World task! Hurray! Maybe the real reward is that I can now upgrade VirtualBox on it, and start using Insider partitions again [I get to reinstall all my apps - Hurray?!?] Thanks, Jacob ________________________________ From: David Anderson <da...@ssl.berkeley.edu> Sent: Friday, August 11, 2017 8:24 PM To: Jacob Klein; Juha Sointusalo; Charlie Fenton Cc: boinc_dev email List; boinc_alpha email list Subject: Re: [boinc_alpha] [boinc_dev] Time for version 7.8.1? Great. I'll use 5.1.26.

This is because of Microsoft's changes, with the VirtualBox breakage detailed here, with the solution version mentioned midway through the thread: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=83732 As you suggest, I recommend including ***VirtualBox 5.1.26***, which includes additional fixes, including 5.1.24 regression fixes.. and has been out for a few weeks with no major problems reported. For your reference, there is a VirtualBox 5.2 Beta 1 version. I'm sure it's quite buggy. I haven't played with it yet.
