Racer63 Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Hi all, looking for the last working version of BOINC client for W2000. The current Versions for download only work in XPand above... Thanks.
Tommy Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php How about version 7.4.42? Archive.org looks like Windows 2000 support went well into the 2010s but if you want to test it and report back, we'll see where we have to go from there.
Racer63 Posted July 7, 2016 Author Posted July 7, 2016 Thanks Brooke. Version 7.4.42 stops in the middle of install. Version 6.6.38 works, but is unable to download project data, with SSL error and deferred connection messages. I upgraded to SP4 for W2000 and have nothing else than BOINC on this computer.
Racer63 Posted July 8, 2016 Author Posted July 8, 2016 Ok, got things going. For the records Version 7.4.42 works with KernelEx (I used v28c). I´m just limited for the amount of memory I have in this old machine, most of projects require at least 300 Mb and I have 284 available. Also crunching from World Community Grid is not easy, as is the only group that require a higher encryption, but it can be done from W2000, with enough RAM. So the answer to all this: project done! Thx for your help
Racer63 Posted July 9, 2016 Author Posted July 9, 2016 IT works with Rosetta, but is a 24 hours job for crunching basic data.
