Hi All,
since some of the boinc clients ran into errors, I uploaded a new version (220513) which provides better logs. If your workers fail immediately after the start, please respond to this thread. Then I can dig into the logs and try to analyze the problem.

Cheers,
Christian

I have git installed

<core_client_version>7.16.20</core_client_version>

Hi szymmirr,
I can see from the logs that git was not found on your machine. It expects git.exe to be in the folder C:\Program Files\Git\cmd. Can you please check where it is installed on your system? I think you can run this command to find it out: where git

Cheers,

That's right. I uninstalled git from D: drive and installed it on C:

where git now says: C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe but the tasks still fail on my two Windows machines (W10 and W7) and VM Mac as well.

Now the problem is that it can't find curl. It is included in Windows 10, version 1803 or later:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9507353/how-do-i-install-and-use-curl-on-windows
Do you have an older version?
It is also included in Git. Can you please check if you have it here?
C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\curl.exe
If so, I can maybe add this path (currently not included).

It seems to work at least on one of your machines:

I'm running some tasks on a VM Linux, but that's not my preferred way of doing it.

I added mingw64/bin to PATH. where curl says: C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\curl.exe

But the tasks still fail. What file am I missing this time?

I have similar problems with my tasks. git.exe and curl.exe are in their respective folders within the Git folders. So if you have not tried adding the path could you added it and see if that solves the problem? I am running on Win 7.

C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\curl.exe

folder is not on the path
copy curl.exe to C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin

2022-05-14 03:38:16|WARN |Setting environment variable: PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd;C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin

Tried that solution just now. Again the tasks fail,

the app does not work with Git's curl

I copied to usr/bin folder from curl-7.83.1-win64-mingw.zip

the app does not work with Git's curl

I copied to usr/bin folder from curl-7.83.1-win64-mingw.zip

I tried again... I downloaded curl-7.83.1-win64-mingw.zip from the Curl website, extracted the files and then copied the curl.exe from there into the C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin folder. This did not solve the problem.
Has anyone got the tasks to run on a Win 7 machine? (I will try installing Git on a WIn 10 computer tomorrow.)

On my Win7 task worked 5 hours - stopped due to time limit

check the task log before sending it to the server
a file similar to this one - the numbers will be different

I continue to see failures with LODA 2205.14. See Task 41129

I have Git installed in my user folder (I left it at the default during installing, which was C:\Users\anandbha\AppData\Local\Programs\Git -- it probably did this as I'm not the administrator and cannot install under Program Files anyway). I can access git from the command prompt without having to navigate to this path so its definitely in the environment path.

C:\Users\anandbha>git --version
git version 2.36.1.windows.1

@fzs600: at least one of your miners is working.
See for example this finding: https://twitter.com/lodaminer/status/1525473273894645782

@AnandBhat: it expects git to be installed in the system location: C:\\Program Files\Git

It doesn't help if you add it to your PATH. The problem is that BOINC wipes out all environment variables when calling the apps. LODA does not get your PATH settings (or any other environment variables that you set).

@Sergey Kovalchuk: you had at least one successful finding: https://twitter.com/lodaminer/status/1525437286715908097
