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?

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 :)
