    25 A file should be dropped in the BOINC data directory called client_init.xml which contains the username and base64 encoded password for `boinc_project_<ComputerName>`. The first time the client starts up after install it should read the file and store an encrypted form of the data in the state file using !CryptProtectData/CryptUnprotectData. After reading in the client_init.xml file it should be deleted.
     32A file will be created by the installer in the BOINC data directory called client_init.xml which contains the username and base64 encoded password for `boinc_project_<ComputerName>`. The first time the client starts up after install it will read the file and store an encrypted form of the data in a new file using !CryptProtectData/CryptUnprotectData.

    76 == Overview ==
     83=== Welcome Screen ===
    7784
    78 The Microsoft Installer technology is broken up into two phases: the GUI phase gathers all the needed information from the user and validates input, the execution phase does the actual heavy lifting such as copying files and registering services.
     85Same as before.
    7986
    80 The v6 client installer will reduce the overall amount of input required by the user so that in the most streamlined case the user will only need to accept the license agreement and proceed through the configuration screen by hitting next to begin installation. Selection of the user names and group names will be autogenerated, but can be overwritten in the advanced configuration screen, and will be used by the core client and screensaver to minimized the amount of damage a science application can cause on a user's computer. All settings except passwords should be persisted in the registry and reused for the next installation.
     87=== License Screen ===
    8188
    82 The following is expected to happen during the execution phase of setup:
    83  * Setup parameters are validated
    84  * All BOINC processes are killed
    85  * Uninstall any previous version (Handled by the Microsoft Installer)
    86  * Create new user accounts (see the User Accounts section below)
    87  * Create new groups (see the User Accounts section below)
    88  * Migrate any data from c:\Program Files (x86)\BOINC to c:\Program Files\BOINC (Abort if c:\Program Files\BOINC already exists)
    89  * Migrate any data from c:\Program Files (x86)\CPDNBBC to c:\Program Files\BOINC (Abort if c:\Program Files\BOINC already exists)
    90  * Migrate any data from c:\Program Files\BOINC to the data directory (see the Data Directory section below) (Abort if Data Directory already exists)
    91  * Install the new installation of BOINC (Handled by the Microsoft Installer)
     89Same as before.

     106
     107=== Advanced Configuration ===
