How to set up Windows SMP/SMP2 CPU Client

I can't figure out how to run install.bat I also read El Fiendo's post below, but I am completely lost? will these instructions work with Win7 x64?

 

Would you read through this thread and get back to us if you're still having problems? This thread should be deleted as it refers to an obsolete client.

 

I'm not sure what you're confused about but let me give it a try.

As previously mentioned, the SMP2 And Core A3 Released thread is a good start. When you unzip the downloaded file there is a install.bat included. To run this file you must open up the Command Prompt. On my system it is found as in the image below.



You might have to run it as administrator. If you do then you would click on that menu item. Anyway once started you need to change the directory where you extracted your SMP file. That is where install.bat is located.

Once there just follow these directions:

3. First you need to run Install.bat. Grant access to the firewall pop up if exists.
- account (domain\user) [xxx\yyy]: simply press Enter
- password: enter your Windows password
- confirm password: re-enter your Windows password

 

The install method for the old client still works for the new one as I followed it just a few weeks ago. If anything the links should either be redirected to the generic download page (instead of the one for the old client) or perhaps simply redirected to the new client itself. Msgclb's post was going to be my answer on what method to use, so his should work for you.

 

On Vista 64 it's the install icon, but don't open as adm. I also disabled UAC.
Buck, I hope you don't mind if I add this link.

How can I get the smp clent to show up in FAHMON?

EDIT: nvm, i've got it now

says i'm getting ~1000ppd on an unlocked phenom II 550, effectively a 955 x4. Does this seem right? It's at stock 3.2ghz.

 

I would like some one to check my setup out to make sure i got it right i do have team viewer I will accept a forum mod to check|help

shit buck just took over lol ... thanks everyone ^^

 

Just thought I'd let you know, you don't have to CD into the folder. Once you open up and Admin CMD prompt, you can just drag the .bat into the cmd window.

 

I see you're at the top of the list for F@H buck! Good going. How do the phenom x4's compare to their intel counterparts when it comes to folding?


Ps. You don't happen to be the same guy that makes some of the better surf maps for tf2 are you?

 

So this is what I have planned; I'll be setting everything up tonight at 7pm EST...

i7 920(@3.8), ESXi --Running FAH Linux VM Edition(Fully resource dedication)
AMD Hexacore(@3.8) Win7 - Still haven't decided(probably going to go BigADV via VM in win7
2 HD 5870s - Two Traditional ATI GPU clients
E8400(@3.8) Traditional CPU Client
GTX 275 - GPU client

I am having some trouble with the Window's VMplayer, it's saying it limited to 4 cpus and the VM I am trying to load uses 6-8...any ideas?

 

You need to use VMPlayer v3.0.0 NOT v3.0.1... found it out the hard way when I was setting up my VM. Even resorted to VMWare Workstation which also at most supports up to 4 cores... Sadly there isnt a folding based VM available to take advantage of my 980X so the other 4 threads are now crunching instead of folding...

I am not getting a folder in my roaming has anyone seen this besides buck as he helped me set mine up when i noticed this problem

 

I know this one, but I can't remember how to make it show up. You could always install your GPU client in a folder on you're desktop. This is for GPU, right?

 

Honestly the CPU nor GPU client made a folder its flipping weird i guess lmao

You're running Win7, this is for Vista.

The hidden files part is what you need.

 

Guys,

Any ideas on how to add -smp -advmethods flag for a client running as a service on winxp with multiple user logins?

 

Hey guys, I can't seem to enter the password for my account. It simply won't let me type anything in, the indicator is blinking telling me to type something but no matter what I type it doesn't show up in the cmd prompt.

 

Figured that much out but step 5 is stumping me.

 

Do the instructions here for how to install as a service help?
