Windows x64, Boinc 5.10.18 (64bit) & Optimized seti apps 2.4
SkOrPn:
Hello, first post here.
I been running setiathome on and off since the 1990's and finally decided to put my newer system to use. I currently run a Intel C2D E6700 @ 3200 mhz with Windows x64 SP2. I installed the latest 64bit v5.10.18 BOINC app to run on my system and then attached myself to my account. I then copied all the files in the "Files to install" folder over into the "BOINC\projects\setiathome.berkeley.edu" folder and restarted the computer.
Now, when I run BOINC (installed as single user) the only app I find running is "setiathome_enhanced 5.27"...
How does one know for fact that the new "Optimized" version KWSN_2.4_SSSE3_IPP_Ben-Joe.exe is the app that is actually running?
I now have a file called "stderr.txt" that lists the following information
Can't open init data file - running in standalone mode
Can't open init data file - running in standalone mode
SETI@home error -5 Can't open file
(work_unit.sah) in read_wu_state() errno=2
File: ..\worker.cpp
Line: 144

Is this behavior normal or have I installed the apps incorrectly? Thank You!

Did you unzip the files first? If your KWSN app doesn't look like an alien's head, that would be why. Just a shot in the dark, since you didn't mention unzipping.
Happy Crunching,

Well I always use winrar to unzip files, so yes the archive was extracted properly... That is a given so I didnt include such mundain info...
I just copied these from the messages tab from BOINC

The 5th line down 8/20/2007 5:33:05 PM|SETI@home|Found app_info.xml; using anonymous platform
Does this mean the optimized sse3 app is being used? If so, why does it claim "using setiathome_enhanced version 527"? Is this the optimized version number?
Im trying to be happy crunching but I need to know if the optimized seti app for my systems cpu is being used or not.
Thanks again for clarifying
SkOrPn:
Nevermind, after further investigation I think I discovered the answer to my own question, I think... lol
It seems to be crunching better than ever so I must conclude that it is infact using the 64bit optimized SSE3 app.

I guess you have your setup just right. The line you're quoting doesn't say anything about particular executable being run. It just says that it's running seti_enhanced version 5.27. The name part is essential as it denotes type of Work Unit. Version number is less essential but important nevertheless.
If you examine contents of app_info.xml you'll see that here's a <app_name>seti_enhanced</app_name> and there's <version_num>527</version_num> and just under that you'll see <file_name>something.exe</file_name> where something.exe would be the name of executable you installed.
You can always check what application is running by examining output of Task Manager - it's handy to sort it by CPU usage in descending order.
