Where did you obtain a BOINC CLI version?  According to the BOINC website,
the only released Win32/x86 version is the GUI.  (Which isn't very "graphic"
anyway...)  Did you compile the CLI yourself and install it as a service
with all the necessary Read/Write/Execute/Delete permissions?

"BOINC can be run as a Windows service. This requires the command-line
interface (CLI) version of the core client, which is not available for
download; you'll have to build it from the source code using Visual Studio
.Net. " (from the BOINC pages at http://boinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/service.php)


Is it possible that the compile of the CLI version was defective somehow?


Strange, I didn't complile the CLI client. I just installed BOINC 3.20 via the installer provided on http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/.

This copies a boinc-cli.exe to the install directory.

Boinc isn't run as a service, instead it has an entry in the autostart folder (where the installer put it).

I using the whole client as I downloaded it. I have not compiled any part of it myself.
