Hello everybody,
I hope that Christmas day was fine to everyone. I have a problem to install WCG agent. I ran it successfully on my previous computers, but I can manage to install it on my new computer (Pavilion 23). Actually, I can download the program "wcg_boinc_6.10.58....". I run the InstallShield Wiazrd normally untill a window pops up and says : "Failed to add the 'BOINC_admins' group (BOINC Master)". Then, it comes back to the Wizard Windows that says the installation was interrupted before the WCG could be completely installed. Could you please help me ? I thought me new computer could crunch WU efficiently, but it seems not to be so easy... Thank you all very much. Jean-Philippe |

In case your new computer runs Windows 8, you'll need to install BOINC v7.0.31 or later. The best choise currently is v7.0.42, downloadable from http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php

So, it works ! The Manager looks strange in comparison with the previous I used, but never mind.
Thank you Ingleside. |
