 Does anyone know how to get rosetta installed from a batch file? Are there switches to add onto the boinc installer to get it to connect to a project automatically? I can install it on a few computers if I can automate the process as I don't have access to them. The other option I guess is to install boinc and then have any necessary xml files copy over to the boinc dir too. Any ideas? ta Danny |

 is it wise to run under the system account, or should i set it to run in a limited user sandbox account? If so, anyone know what permissions BOINC needs and whether I can set these from a batch file? |

We ran it as a service as the local admin. . watch out if you schedule that pw change, you have to remember to change the log on credentials for the service :) |
