In October of 1969 I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
There was no expiration date.

297 failed tasks, for the reason above, since the 4th May. Most have the same error/stderr output as Bill F. A few, generally the longer running ones, seem to start the LODA process repeatedly.

Is it an issue relating to the suspending and resuming of tasks?

All my tasks are now failing, same error as above. Only difference is the failure occurs within a few seconds.

Found the link to my LODA logfiles: https://boinc.loda-lang.org/loda/logs.php

The output for one task is below:

PROJECT_DIR is being set incorrectly, along with anything that references ProgramData, they should refer to my D: drive. Any suggestions on how to change it?

In the meantime I'll reset the project.

Back to running now.
In summary the message:

The operating system cannot run (null).
(0xc3) - exit code 195 (0xc3)</message>

Seems to be down to the PROJECT_DIR environment being set wrong for LODA.

• A project reset corrects this issue.
  
• After the reset you need to rename zlib1-260314-windows-x86.dll to zlib1.dll.
