Downloads & Zip?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Jim_S:
he name of the file that I downloaded to this box is,

KWSN-2.4-Windows32-SSE2-AMD.7z

and when I try to open it, it only opens a new copy of 7-Zip into any folder that I create.

ajs:
that sounds right then  :-\

if you right click on that file, do you get a 7-Zip option in the menu?

I normally right click then select 7-Zip/Extract Here

Does the same thing happen if you try that?

Garry W:
after you've gotten to the extract here point.  Think for just a second and then extract to Boinc/projects/setiathome.  At least I think that is what I did to get it going correctly.

Then when it is all running again, check your task manager, you should see KWSN 2.4 running.

Jim_S:
Tried again. Now I have two 7-zip folders in the SAH folder and 2.2b running in the Task Manager. :'(
{EDIT- The way i got it to install on one of my old machines was to stop getting any new work until it ran dry. Then I uninstalled BOINC and deleted the BOINC folders.
Then I reinstalled 5.10.13. Reatached everything. then I did the 2.4 upgrade again and it took. Should I try that again? /EDIT}

That seems a reasonable thing to do

that lot seems a tad like overkill.
If you've run dry of WUs there should be no need to start deleting folders.

Your main problem though is that 7-Zip doesn't seem to be working correctly on your system.
How about downloading all versions of chicken that your machines require onto 1 machine.
Unzip them all with a "right click/7-Zip/Extract Here" and then copy the resulting folders to the respective machines.
Then copy the Files To install into the seti folder on each machine
Hows that sound?
