Every time I try to down load the latest 64bit version of BONIC I get 0bytes.

Where do you download BOINC (not BONIC) from, and for which platform?
I have just downloaded boinc_7.0.28_windows_x86_64.exe for Windows (64bit) from http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php and it shows as the normal 8,769KB

Have you tried saving it to another directory?
Are you trying to run it while downloading? As it's better to download and save the file first, then run the installer.

I just tried you link with no joy.I took a screen shot but I do not know to attach it to this post.

I'm also getting a load module error 106?

Screen shots are best put on a free storage site such as Photobucket or Imageshack and then linked to that.

Photobucket requires registration, Imageshack can be used without an account.

What happens when you use the download link? What do you see?
Or did you manage to download BOINC from it, but is the installer giving you problems?

I click on your link FireFox sayes it's down loading the for about 1 sec. latter it sayes it done. The down loaded file has 0 bytes down loaded.

My system O.S. Windows 7/64Bit/ 8Gig Memory AMD APU (Quad Core/Radeon 6520G)

How about telling Firefox where to save the file, and then save it to a different location (than the default)?

Top left Firefox label->Options->Options->General->Always ask me where to save files->OK.

NO joy.I have tried 3 diffident file locations with the same results 0 bits downloaded What about this error 126 unable load module.

1. Are you downloading it from home, or from work?
2. Are you behind a proxy?
3. The error 126 is a Windows Installer error. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/959077 for information and possible fixes.

1> I'm downloading at a coffee shop.
2> No I'm behind a proxy.

Just for kicks and gillcus I tried the 32bit client. No problems downloading/installing.

As for the 126 can not seem to it to work. I am followed the institutions given in your link. I guess I don't know what I'm doing.

Have you tried downloading the 64bit client with a different Browser, or with a Download Manager like Getright?

Claggy

BONIC = Load error 126

I am not comfoable with editing Windows Reg.

Try these 2 direct links using different Browsers
(not only FireFox as the broken file from previous downloads may be still in its cache; will be good also to Clean/Empty the Browser cache before the download):

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_7.0.28_windows_x86_64.exe

http://einstein.ligo.caltech.edu/download/boinc/dl/boinc_7.0.28_windows_x86_64.exe


The size of the file have to be 8.6 MB (8,978,768 bytes)

No joy.

So why not use this one then?

32bit BOINC can run 32bit and 64bit applications just as well as 64bit BOINC can. The only difference between the versions is that 32bit BOINC can at maximum allocate 4GB of memory, a thing you'd only need when you run a project that uses ~1GB tasks and those are in short supply at this time.

The projects that supply 64bit applications check the operating system you have to send you the correct application, not which BOINC you have.

Because I'm still getting the 126 error which I'm not comfortable when it comes to modifying the Windows REG.

???

You said you had no problems downloading and installing the 32bit BOINC client, which is what I quoted and what sparked my answer to you. Why then still try to download and install the 64bit client?

No joy.

Very, very informative
