S@H V5.17

Hi
I'm using the SSE 3 opt app for S@h, but am having severe troubles since starting to crunch for SETI Beta. I get the following messages:
|SETI@home|Can't handle task 07mr99aa.8657.16736.572166.3.136 in scheduler reply

and

|SETI@home|State file error: missing task 07mr99aa.8657.16736.572166.3.136

I've heard there is a problem with the app_info.xml file, and it arises from the inability to recognise the difference between the two project names.  However, this seems a little odd, as the opt app is in the S@h folder only, and I thought it should not affect the Beta project, that being held in a separate folder.

Any help on this subject would be well appreciated.

Isn't that just typical?
5 minutes after calling for help here, I find the answer on the SETI boads!

S@h doesn't recognise version 5.17, used by Beta.

I've edited the app_info.xml file to read version number 517, instead of 514.

Have I done good?

Yup! :)

Happy crunching,
Simon.

Apparently not!

Every downloaded WU I have received from S@h now has a compute error

18/12/2006 10:57:52 PM|SETI@home|No main program specified

18/12/2006 10:57:52 PM|SETI@home|Unrecoverable error for result 07mr99aa.8657.19105.865918.3.195_3 (Couldn't start or resume: -161)

My second machine hasn't had any of this trouble.  It's also crunching S@h and Beta.   It's a 1 Gig P3 running Server 2003.
The troublesome machine is running XP Pro SP2.  It's a 2.8 Gig Celeron with 1 Gig of RAM, if that's any help.

I've been battling thiese problems for over a week now.  I reformatted the HDD recently, and all was running sweetly.

It's a good job I keep my hair short, or I'd be pulling it out by now!

The saga continues... I hope I'm not boring you!
Machine 1 (XP SP2) seems to be running ok now.  I installed the version 2.0 opt app on both machines

However, machine (Server 2003) gives the following message:

No URL for file transfer of setiathome-5.15-kwsn-mmx.exe

and:

Can't initialise file transfer for setiathome-5.15-kwsn-mmx.exe

After pressing update to report a finished WU, I get the following:

Couldn't start download of setiathome-5.15-kwsn-mmx.exe
URL (null): invalid URL

I re-installed BOINC 5.4.11 on both machines, just in case there was a corruption somewhere.

Am I going insane?

You betcha!

I checked transfers, and found BOINC was attempting to upload setiathome-5.15-kwsn-mmx.exe
I aborted the transfer, and am now waiting patiently for the next problem.

If nothing else, this has increased my respect for programmers!
