2) Questions and Answers : Windows : Upgrade from 5.x to 6.2.18 lost previous work (Message 35658) Posted 8 Dec 2008 by old_user516609 Post: Hello, Version 5.x kept crashing (a Fortran(!) error) so I thought I would upgrade. I did some quick research on upgrading on the boinc site (http://tinyurl.com/5g9ebw) and did the following: 1) backup boinc application folder 2) add/remove programs >> boinc >> remove 3) install v6.x to same app folder The install asked for a data folder; I chose ..\\boincApp\\data. I\'m not sure where my previous data folder was, but looking around I think it was ..\\boincApp\\projects\\climateprediction.net. I connected using my previous account, but it downloaded a new project and started from zero. I\'ve probably lost a couple months of work; any idea how to restore it? Thanks in advance.
