I'm still very new to BOINC so please bear with me. I'm trying to get the multi_thread application to test properly in our environment to try and get a performance baseline.

I got the multithread.exe compiled and moved back to my BOINC server. I placed the .exe file in apps/multi_thread/1.0/windows_intelx86 folder. I edited project.xml and added my new application in, and ran xadd successfully.

when I ran update_version, it returned:
File multi_thread is listed in version.xml but not present
It did however copy the multithread.exe file to the project's download folder. The new application is showing on the management webpage, but no workunits appear to be being sent out.

what did I miss?
thanks for the help!

You say you named the binary multithread.exe but the output says it expects multi_thread, with an underscore in the name. Could it be something simple like that?

Looks like it was a name discrepancy. The .exe compiled itself as MultiThread.exe but the version.xml had the physical name as multi_thread
So a mixture of missing case, underscores, and missing '.exe'.
That explains a question I had about how the version.xml worked.
Thanks for the help, Jord!
