HELP!!!

Trying to run ABC@home on a Vista 64 box. Always getting the x86_64 not found error. So I tried copying over the abc@home stuff from a 32 bit machine and creating a app_info.xml for the project but always get an error message in Boinc "state file error: bad application name abc-finder_1.02_windows_intelx86"

Any thoughts?

Nebbermind... I now have ABC working on my 64bit Boinc Vista machines :) :P

Hi pyro3k could you let us know how you did this,i'm also running vista 64bit
but have not had any luck.

Thanks

I´m having the same problem!

How did you do it?

I'm running Vista 64 on intel Quad core. It doesn't seem to be downloading the x64 for my machine. Any ideas as to why? :/

Remember that you have to use the 64 bit version off the BOINC CC. It is located here

http://boincdl.ssl.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_5.10.28_windows_x86_64.exe

If you still are using the 32 bit CC, then you will only get a 32 bit cruncher downloaded.

Thank you, that was indeed all too obvious.
I was unaware of a windows 64bit BOINC client.
Now I am wiser.

Thanks again!
