Beta Testing / Re: Problem installing 1.96 on...

Last post by Corsair - June 17, 2025, 09:51:13 PM

The installer is x64 only. I checked the installer on a Windows machine and it's indeed 1.96.
You can try deleting the old Boinctasks64.exe and run the installer to add the missing file.

The only real arm build is BoincTasks-Js for Windows and Mac.

But you know that Win 11 ARM64 works with Win x64 app in emulation, so, at least the installer could allow to install it on these machines.

I tried BT-JS and I have installed in my tablet (Win11 ARM64), but I'm old school and really in love with traditional BT.

hopefully in the future could be a native version for BT ARM64, of course not pushing you, I'm happy with latest version and working in my minicomputer too.

Hi Fred,

I have the controlling machine as a Windows 11 ARM64, and I installed version 1.95 without any problem.

Downloaded latest version 1.96, in several options:
- running setup from the NAS
- copying setup program in the computer and running it
- running it with administrator privilegies.

and in all option all files are updated except the .exe files, always remaining in 1.95 and deleted the access to the Startup menu.

only way I could have to install it, has been to install in previous machine windows 11 x64, and copying .exe files in Program Files correspondent folder of W11 ARM64, now running perfectly (I guess) but still no access in the startup menu.
it seems that the installer doesn't consider ARM64 as x64.

I misinterpreted your question. There is a way to copy a single line.
However, getting a single item is much more complicated.

The fastest way is to right-click on the project or task, select WWWW, and then select the first option to copy the URL.
Another option is to select Add a New Project, select one, and copy the URL.

I'm lookin at it and there should only be a message when you an create account.
I can catch and show the license message, so far so good.
But I get error -224.
I just started debugging the BOINC Manager to see what's going on.

I only seem to get this with CPDN - I have to click agree on a legal notice when I add the project with Boinc Manager.  But Boinctasks gives an error.  I complained to Boinc and CPDN and they say it's part of the Boinc API (I think they said API) and point blank refuse to remove the stupid legal notice, saying it's up to Boinctasks to deal with it.  Even Glenn Carver of CPDN said it was your fault, after admitting he uses Boinctasks himself!  Is there any way you can get Boinc tasks to manage this notice?  Preferably by auto-agreeing, or if you insist, displaying the notice so we can click agree?
