Every time I download a WU it starts and then finishes immediately with a computation error.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit.

I reset the project but it is still not working.

Message 2198 - Posted: 8 May 2014, 10:26:49 UTC - in response to Message 2195.

The stderr output for all of your failed tasks is:

<core_client_version>7.2.42</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> The extended attributes are inconsistent. (0xff) - exit code 255 (0xff) </message> <stderr_txt> </stderr_txt> ]]>

That suggests the problem is related to permissions (only Sebastien could confirm if the application can generate that error for something else). How did you install BOINC and what is your BOINC data directory set to? For example, I'm running BOINC as a service and near the top of the event log I have:

25/04/2014 10:34:56 | | Running as a daemon 25/04/2014 10:34:56 | | Data directory: D:\Program Data\BOINC 25/04/2014 10:34:56 | | Running under account boinc_master

Yes I am running BOINC as a service. I do not have a problem with 5 other machines.

Message 2202 - Posted: 10 May 2014, 19:47:40 UTC - in response to Message 2199.

I also saw the following why a WU had a computation error :

Stderr output
<core_client_version>7.2.42</core_client_version>
<![CDATA[
<message>
The extended attributes are inconsistent.
(0xff) - exit code 255 (0xff)
</message>
<stderr_txt>

</stderr_txt>
]]>
