    99This document describes the implementation details of the BOINC Installer for v6.  It is assumed that you have a basic understanding of how the Microsoft Installer technology works.  For further details of how the Microsoft installer technology works you can visit [http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372866(VS.85).aspx here].

    1011Major improvements for v6 include:
    1112 * Account-based sandboxing.
    … …  
    383384Isolate BOINC-based applications from BOINC and the rest of the system.

    385  * Why was the 'Launch BOINC on startup' option removed from the installer?
    386 
    387 The 'Launch BOINC on startup' option actually started the BOINC Manager, so on systems where BOINC was being installed as a service it was being ignored. Most people do not understand the difference between BOINC and the BOINC Manager. Most people who install BOINC want it to run whenever they are not around.
    388 
    389 To keep things simple we decided to remove the option and setup the system so that both BOINC and the BOINC Manager are started at system startup or logon, if the users want to change this behaviour they can delete the BOINC Manager shortcut and/or change the service properties via the service control manager administrative tool.
