SETI at HOME Enhanced V6.09 (CUDA 23)
Claggy:
Does the Lunatics' Unified Installer v0.2 still work when a user already has Stock Seti 6.09 Wu's in his Cache?,
They'll be branded as 6.09, will the installer put in 6.09 entries in the app_info?

The apps still 'work' since tasks are the same, though as noted task cache will need to be drained first, since stock app is marking work differently. I'm in the process of working things out for an updated installer. Probably it would help speed things along nicely if someone could test the following method going from stock 6.09 cuda plan class cuda23:
Before restarting Boinc:
- go in and edit the applicable '.aistub' files to include 6.09 entries and duplicate app version entries for the cuda23 plan class.
- if a 64 bit system, also change/add app version to have a paltform tag 'windows_intelx86' and another of the same version for 'windows_x86_64'
- run the aimerge command
Double check the resulting joined app info has:
- app version entries of both cuda and cuda23 plan class, in both 6.08 & 6.09 variants
- entries for both platform types, if on a x64 system
- 0n x64 That would amount to two plan classes X two versions X 2 platforms = 8 app version blocks
- On x86 That would amount to two plan classes X two versions = 4 app version blocks
- For the CPU app on x64 (6.03) put the duplicate app version bloxks also = 2 app version blocks, on x64
- AstroPulse same deal with x64 ( 2 app version blocks for 5.05, with different platform tags)
- Then start Boinc and see if any tasks are dumped.
I appreciate this would be a difficult migration process to acheive by hand, so will expedite getting my installer development back up and running ASAP (after a painful Win7 migration and loss of a hard drive, requiring retreival of much stuff from backups, ongoing process. ).

I warned a user on Seti yesterday that he might loose all his Cuda tasks as i didn't think the Installer would put 6.09 entries in the app_info,
he went ahead, and after he'd finally restarted Boinc, he did loose all this Cuda Wu's,
i haven't got the heart to tell him he should detach/reattach to free up all those Cuda wu that wont expire until 1st Feb '10,
then install the apps again. :(

Sorry for the painful rebuild following your hard drive death. I've migrated to Win7 Pro x64 (bit painful from XP) without any untoward damage. As for your testing request, I'm unqualified I fear ("aimerge" huh?). But it's now a new decade so I'm wondering how you're doing with an updated installer that will include optimized 6.09 Cuda?
[BTW I use a small 0.25 day cache so for me its no problem to drain it down prior to running your installer].

Applause, you have gotten through some things that most do not. There is a test of an new installer but it is not easy.
It will take some time to mature. It will be posted as it is ready.
