Hello fellow crunchers,
----------------------------------------the World Community Grid notified me recently that a newer version was available for download however when I tried to install the new package I ran into this problem: ![]() Now my old version is deinstalled and whenever I try to install a new BOINC client I get the same error. I already tried to remove all traces of BOINC from my computer for a fresh installation and then just choose World Community Grid from the menu but the installer always asks for the World Community Grid.msi which is nowhere to be found. ![]() Can anyone give me a hand with this problem? Thanks in advance. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Teglen at Mar 1, 2024 5:11:42 PM] |

Not sure what version you were and wish to run. But, the following link should hellp:

Thanks for the reply but I already tried that with the same result. It seems that BOINC somehow knows that I was running the world community grid previously and always wants to add it on installation for some reason (maybe and old registry entry?). I can't even choose to just install BOINC and then select my projects later.

I can't even choose to just install BOINC and then select my projects later. On what operating system are you trying to install this? This looks like a very, very old version of Windows.![]() And that downloaded file it is looking for isn't looking quite kosher either (starting with "{EFB...")... Ralf ![]() |

BOINC can't find the old install file to update the version.

Thanks. ![]() The client doesn't seem to download WUs though for some reason. It's connected to my account and some projects are selected on the website... ![]() [Edit 1 times, last edit by Teglen at Feb 29, 2024 4:26:52 PM] |

The client doesn't seem to download WUs though for some reason. Teglen, please see post 694637 in the current Project Status thread. (It's a general problem at the moment.) Adri |

Thanks for the heads up. I thought I had configured my client incorrectly.
