For Microsoft Windows2000 or better (XP PRO screams - ~4.9 cEMs/sec) :smoking:

You need to create 3 files :) Hope it helps. :D

where do i start?

i'm a gui baby.... typing.... yikes where?

go to program files?

[IronBits]

Give me a little time, I'll whip up an install and run package :D

What OS are you running on ?

Do you have administrative priveledges on the computer?

:thumbs:

[Esquire]

i'm admin

Download the latest client
http://www.fragafriend.net/sb230.exe

Download this attached file sob_for_dual_xeon_install.zip

Using Windows Explorer, Go to where you downloaded both files
Extract all the files in the sbINSTALL.zip to C:\Program Files\SB
Copy the sb230.exe file to the same place C:\Program Files\SB

Go to this directory C:\Program Files\SB
Double click on the sbINSTALL.bat file

You should have two Shortcuts on your Desktop when it's finished.
sbSTART.bat and sbSTOP.bat so you can control the clients.

Would someone with computer savvy check this out and make sure it works.
I'm too close to the trees to see the forest, or something like that :rotfl:

:cheers:

Did it work ok for you? :)

[Esquire]

i cant get it up and running

[IronBits]

Anyone else try this to see if it works ok for them, before I proceed trying another method?

[mackerel]

I just tried the zip file contents install method on a single P4 with HT after editing the comments in the install batch file to only start two instances. Works fine for me including the start/stop batch files.

I would try it on my dual xeons too, but it already had a single instance running normally. Manually entering the service install worked fine, and I now have 4 instances going :) One of the service instances was doing the same work as the single instance from before, I shut the lot down and restarted and all is well.
