Re: Headless installation and configuration on Windows10

@wuerfelfreak I tried your installer and it works good. There is just a little problem: While installing it shows a Popup Window "registry". As long as the OK Button is not pressed it will not continue installing. I checked your sourcecode, removed the popup message and compiled it localy...

Re: Headless installation and configuration on Windows10

I haven't tried it myself, but the data is in a SQLite database (a file that ends in .db) so you could probably easily make some code in your language of choice that opens that db and inserts new records

I expected it wouldn't matter either, but it does. At least for service mode it uses the DataDirectory value to know where to find the config.xml

Re: Headless installation and configuration on Windows10

I didn't realize there was a second page and have been updating my first post, lol. It seems like folding@home has gone out of their way to make this hard to do. Where is the command line version download for Windows? Install for GUI and command line are the same, you just use the /S flag on the co...

Re: Headless installation and configuration on Windows10

Agree, @bruce. These servers don't have GPUs so service method works fine for me.

Re: Headless installation and configuration on Windows10

Just for completeness, here's my powershell script for automating the headless install (and service startup): write-host "Starting installer on $bladeIP" $sess = new-pssession $bladeIP # Copy the files copy-item -ToSession $sess -recurse -path C:\FAHRemoteSetup -destination C:\ -Force if(!...

Re: Headless installation and configuration on Windows10

I saw this during the install: "C:\Program Files (x86)\FAHClient\FAHClient.exe" --install-service the service itself runs as: "C:\Program Files (x86)\FAHClient\FAHClient.exe" --service A lot of things are installed under the current user, AppData\Roaming\FAHClient, including the...

Re: Headless installation and configuration on Windows10

I saw this in process monitor during the install: "C:\Program Files (x86)\FAHClient\FAHClient.exe" --install-service Yes, I tried the --install-service. I believe that runs the sc.exe command to create the service. You can do that instead of running sc.exe manually, but you still have to ...

Re: Headless installation and configuration on Windows10

Might there be some path or registry key that we are missing here? I can't think of anything else holding us back right now. Yep. Looks like the silent installer doesn't complete the registry keys. You need to manually add the keys here: HKCU\Environment\Path has C:\Program Files (x86)\FAHClient ad...

Re: Headless installation and configuration on Windows10

Another person was looking to do the same with idle computers at their university, have pointed to this topic. Whie responding I did think of one thing that may help in deploying. The client is assigned an unique ID the first time it connects to a F@h server to request work. So if installed to a co...

Re: Headless installation and configuration on Windows10

I'm in a similar boat. Trying to get this running on a moderate Win 10 server farm. Using the /S switch on the installer does a standard install, but is there any way to make it install as a service silently? These are headless servers without workstations, so no one is logged in, meaning FAHClient ...
