Hello,

I\'ve tried to install the boinc_4.05_windows_intelx86.exe onto my Computers.
I\'ve got MS Windows XP professional at work and home edition at home :)
Both had problems with the setup file.
It starts and after a few seconds the setup will be finished without displaying an error message.
In the task manager the setup file is in memory.

What can I do?
I think it\'s a compability problem with the old setup file in the archive.

I\'ve also tried to uncompress the boinc_4.05_windows_intelx86.exe and to start setup.exe in the /Disk1/-Directory. But it doesn\'t work. :(

Me too I had some problem with apps using InstallShield v5 on my OS. If you had previously ran BOINC v3 you can decompress the cabinet file \\Disk1\\data1.cab into your %ProgramFiles%\\BOINC directory & thereafter move the file Boinc.scr to your Windows directory.

To decompress the Installshield cabinet your may need i5comp utility if your compression/decompression tool is not able to handle Installshield cabinet file. i5comp.exe is available at this <a href="//protools.anticrack.de/decompilers.htm">site</a>.

The issue is actually kind of an improvement in Windows security. You need the athority to run and install applications. I can usually install anything when its downloaded and executed from the 'shared documents directory'; otherwise you need to log in as admin or have the same access as admin. Just thought I mention it.

The logged on user also needs write access to the BOINC installation location when running BOINC.
