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.

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.
