mmmm
it doesn't work :(

One other question: in your project.xml file you have these rows?

<platform>
<name>anonymous</name>
<user_friendly_name>anonymous</user_friendly_name>
</platform>

The anonymous platform allow me to use app_info.xml, and the choose which executable I want to run.
If you don't have these lines, please add them and run xadd.
If you don't want to get in this trouble, no problem ;)

PS: I also admin a boinc project :)

Yes, it could be an idea. But if I use <no_alt_platform> I have problems with other projects which have only 32bit application.

Can you please tell me which is the exac app_name of your app? When you created the app you had to write in project.xml something like:

<app>
<name>??</name>
<user_friendly_name>Random-base WEP Factorization</user_friendly_name>
</app>

What did you put in <name>?

Thank you very much :)

Hi,
I started some days ago crunching on this project.
I observed that I randomly get 32bit or 64 bit application on my 64bit lunux ubuntu. The problem is that 32bit version is very very very slow. 64bit takes 2.8h, 32bit takes 6.7h :O
I want to force boinc to get only 64bit version, and I kwnow I can do that via app_info.xml.
Can you please tell me what I have to put in app_info?
I tried this one

<app_info>
<app>
<name>wanless2</name>
<user_friendly_name>Random-base WEP Factorization</user_friendly_name>
</app>

<file_info>
<name>wep_1.13_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu</name>
<executable/>
</file_info>

<app_version>
<app_name>wanless2</app_name>
<version_num>113</version_num>
<cmdline></cmdline>
<file_ref>
<file_name>wep_1.13_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu</file_name>
<main_program/>
</file_ref>
</app_version>

</app_info>

but I get this error when I try to get some wus:
