BOINC 2.07 & Seti 2.01 released but still crashes immedately

[Rattledagger]

Yet another new release, still just for the current beta-testers, but more is probably interested in the progress. 😉
Seti is currently only for windows, while new boinc is both windows & linux.

From the beta-list:

"BOINC 2.07 has been released, fixing bugs. Also, the installation
setup program now installs BOINC in your Programs -> Startup
folder (running minimized). You can download at

http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/ap/download.php

SETI@home 2.01 has been released. When you get SETI@home 2.01
work, BOINC will automatically download the SETI@home 2.01
executable.

If you had SETI@home 2.00 work, please do a 'project reset' to get
rid of them (they are buggy).

Edit -- after 1st crashing if doing a clean install, put it on top of 2.06 and after a little trying got some seti-wu... Just like last time, they crashes immediately.

There would have to be a period of time that the latest client would have to work properly before a decision would be made to roll-over the entire project ... wouldn't you think?

Well, seti is still crashing just like before, here's the latest news:

"I'm seeing program exited with non-zero code messages for seti@home.
Is anyone seeing success with S@H workunits?

I'm shutting down the splitter unless I hear otherwise."

And on startup-crash with 2.07:
"It works if you have an existing client_state.XML (get it from a previous installation)"

Yes, Smokeball, I wouldn't guess on a release of BOINC before December at the earliest, and they'll highly likely accept old client atleast till I'm reaching my 4th anniversary next year. 🙂

"BOINC 2.08 has been released, fixing the bug with clean
installations. If you already installed 2.07 and it worked, you
don't need BOINC 2.08.

(The Astropulse 2.06 graphics problems and the SETI@home 2.01
problems are still unresolved)

It's only the windows-version that's updated...
