I upgraded my boinc software and copied out the Projects folder, slots folder and teh .xml files before I upgraded. After I installed the newer version, I copied the files back... When BOINC restarted it grabbed a new workunit.... My old work unit files are still there.... How can I get boinc to reattached the old workunit.. I was a couple timesteps from being finished... I could have waited but I have seen a lot of people talk about upgrading boinc and moving workunits to different machines without too much difficulity.... Any ideas... how to reattached my old workunit files.....

Thanks,

Pete

What version did you upgrade from? If 4.05, I think the CPDN client was upgraded from 4.03 to 4.04 for any version of BOINC after 4.05. If that's the case, I believe that upgrading the CPDN client will download a new workunit, while upgrading BOINC without upgrading the CPDN client will not, say from 4.09 to 4.13.

i have the same problem...i am trying to move a run on my home computer to work and cant get boinc to recognize the old model. i copy /projects, /slots, and all the cpdn .xml type files. then copy straight to boinc folder on work machine. when started, boinc manager just sits there.
if i use the installer to "repair" it downloads another model so i have to detach before it crunches.

boinc 4.25 at work
model ran on 4.25 at home

p.s. can the /locale stuff except for default language be deleted safely?
