Windows optimized SETI@Home clients - Initial public release
JokerCPoC:
Well I am interested in a 64bit app and Boinc install(client) for Windows, I'm using DeNitro's Test2 SSE2 app and Crunch3r's 64bit files(compiled from 5.7.0 source code overlaid on top of some of the 5.4.11 Boinc files, Then It's 5.7.64. I also had to redo all the app info files as they were causing errors(parsing problems).
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=34997
executable and main_program was like this
<executable/> and <main_program/> Every time I did a benchmark the app would crash, Done like below and no more crash or erasing of files by Boinc.
<executable> and <main_program>
</executable> and </main_program>
The 1st pair was missing from each statement, Complete examples are in one of My posts at setiathome, The incorrect examples are found in all of the Chicken's And DeNitro's app info files and need to be changed.
Note: You need XP x64 to use an XP64 program(For those that don't know already).

The auto installer appears to get stuck on my system whilst its running the benchmark tests, even if I try the short option nothing happens after 10 - 15 mins, is that normal or does it usually take alot longer to run its tests?
Simon:
That does seem a bit long.
What sort of system do you have, and when you run task manager, how much CPU usage does it show while benchmarking?
Regards,
Simon.

Managed to get it to run on the short option took 18 mins, It a AMD Sempron 3000+, 1GB RAM, Win XP, CPU showed around 97% one thing it didn't seem to do is stop running the tests after it told be it had finished them, had to kill the process.
Going to try the long option now see how loing that takes :P

Ok well it took approx 50 mins to do it on the long test, but its now all worked ang installed and this time it also stopped all the processes correctly 8)
