Comments: Posted by: OlafBornack? Date: 4:27 PM 12-04-2006 After the change of skins in the preferences the "spacer" image is not updated. First when the BOINC manager is closed and started again, the "spacer" image is also updated.

See also the attachment ("BOINCcast" skin). The original color of the "spacer" is blue and not grey.

In this case also the complete sacrifice of the "spacer" as a separate graphic element is recommended. Especially when there are horizontal color changes in the "project area background" image the integration of one "spacer" at 3 different positions is a problem for the skin design. The "spacer" image is in this kind of use a graphic restriction. Better are 3 different "spacer" images or more better no "spacer" image. If somebody needs a graphic "spacer" between the buttons, this can be realized also with the "project area background" image.

MSVCR71.dll has been removed from the 5.9.4 installer, but the redistributable dlls still depend on it. This bug will only show up if the dll isn't installed already.

Symptom: BOINC client won't start.

Both installers need a bootstrap loader to preform the following functions:

• Uncompress the MSI file
• Copy uncompressed MSI file to "%SystemRoot?%\Downloaded Installations"
• Trigger the Windows Vista UAC dialog for administrative previliages.

Without the bootstrap loader the following bad things happen:

• Uninstall will fail if the user has deleted the MSI file from the original launch point.
• Service mode installs will fail since the attempting to grant 'execute as a service' right doesn't trigger the Vista UAC dialog.
