    This release contains two fixes:

    - don't unsuspend tasks before restarting them
    - allow large command lines (backpatched from 4.5x)

      Silly question time... Marco

      Do we get the new version from

      http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/download.html ?

      I noticed the version there is still 4.15.

        Keith:
        with all the new versions and problems popping up in CPDN and Predictor, I've been following the developers mailing list. The 4.16 is brand new and I'm sure will be available here soon.

        It's just that before updating all your clients to 4.15 it might be better to wait for 4.16, or for a comment by the project admins that they'd rather have 4.15 installed.

              The last 2 versions have not worked for me yet (the uploading errors)

              I will check back tomorrow and see if they say it is bug free.

                  AFAIK, this *SHOULD* be a relatively safe method of updating BOINC for Windows, I haven't tested it yet because I've never had any problems (I'm still on 4.14, I'm moving to 4.16 as soon as it appears on the E@H download page).

                  NOTE: I use the | instead of the backslash here (gets removed by the forum)

                  suspend/quit BOINC
                  use task manager to verify all science processes are gone
                  copy entire BOINC folder i.e. "C:|Program Files|BOINC|" -> "C:|Program Files|BOINC415|"
                  update BOINC to 4.16

                  when you get an error like just reported

                  suspend/quit BOINC
                  use task manager to verify all science processes are killed (if not, kill them)
                  rename "C:|Program Files|BOINC|" -> "C:|Program Files|BOINC416|"
                  rename "C:|Program Files|BOINC415| -> "C:|Program Files|BOINC|"
                  Start BOINC and, to use the Guardian of Forever's words: "All is as it was" (or it should be).

                  The BOINC416 folder is preserved, so please report what's in stderr.txt

                    Hmm, I'm on 4.15 at the moment, on both of my home machines. Since upgrading to 4.14, then 4.15, I've seen both of these reliable machines freeze in exactly the same way (although I'm not sure I can pin the blame on BOINC) -- you go to sleep, the machine is running, you look at the machine in the morning and it is dead. All you can do is push (and hold) the power button, and restart. No "Windows recovered from a horrible error" or anything, they are keeping mum.

                    So, with that in mind, I might as well try 4.16, but I'll re-order Marco's steps and copy the folder *AFTER* stopping Boinc and making sure everything's stopped.

                      Upgraded from 4.15 to 4.16.

                        Upgraded from 4.15 to 4.16. It killed three predictor WUs in my queue and one waiting to be returned.

                        I wasn't going to worry about that until I saw that it apparently brought back the dreaded, "there was work, but it was commited to other platforms" message from Predictor when trying to get more work.

                        Went back to 4.15 and restored my backup. WUs are back, returned the one waiting and Predictor is currently downloading more work.

                        Be advised if you run Predictor, you may have trouble getting work.

                        And yes, I've been running BOINC since back in beta, so I know how to install a new CC.
