Hi,

I am currently running version 4.13 of boinc with sah and cp. I've noticed that on the sah site the version of boinc to be downloaded is version 4.19.

Is there a way to install and run the latest version without losing the work in progress I actually have?

Thanks for any help.

n.b.: I am running boinc on a pc(intel) with xp.

Hello and welcome!

As much as I agree with G Pascal O Cianaigh , PFC, I'll give you the short answer anyway:
I had no problem with it (XP SP1&amp;2 on AMT &amp; Intel).
First: exit Boinc, copy the directory anywhere else (just for sure, didn't need it myself afterwards).
Second: install the new version.
Third: run Boinc again.
Fourth: nothing, sit back and relax:)

Did the 4.13 -&gt; 4.19 upgrade this morning, after the latest CP WU completed. Did the same four steps that the Sänger suggested, and succeeded with no problems. Both CP &amp; S@H are running again smoothly.

My previous experience with CPDN was upgrading v4.09 -&gt; v4.13 and it coughed, spluttered and reset itself. S@H, PP@H and the rest seem to survive a minor CC upgrade OK, but my suggestion would be to wait until your current model has finished before upgrading the CC on your CPDN box.

There should be a major upgrade in the next few weeks, though I don't think there is a date.
