App_Info files for S5R3/S5R4 Dual Capability

I have just received official confirmation that the S5R4 apps I'm using are the correct ones. Also, I've seen messages posted by users which quote the same apps I'm using.

So here is the app_info.xml file for Windows. If you are currently using an app_info.xml file and are getting nasty messages about the scheduler wanting to send you S5R4 work but that you don't have the correct apps, then setting up the new app_info.xml and providing all the apps I nominated in my previous message will allow you to get S5R4 work as well as any S5R3 work that might be on offer.

I have tested this file on a couple of machines and it works for me. I take no responsibility for what happens to you as a result of using this file. If you don't have a clue what this is all about then you really shouldn't be using it until you do a bit of research on what has been written already about this.

To use this file you need to cut and paste what appears below into a text file which you will call app_info.xml. You will place this file together with all the Windows executables I listed in my previous message, into your Einstein project directory, overwriting any previous app_info.xml that might be there. You will then stop and restart BOINC.

EDIT (8 Aug 2008):
archae86 has provided a very useful tip for anyone trying to cut and paste the app_info.xml file. The text I inserted below does have proper formatting but you can't see it in the displayed version. However, if you start to reply to this message, you will get a reply window where you can actually see the formatting and can also see the leading and trailing [ code ] and [ /code ] tags which show you exactly what you need to cut and paste. In other words, leave out the code tags but cut and paste everything else into a text editor. Then you can simply abandon the reply once you have what you need with the proper formatting.

archae86 had actually provided this tip quite some time ago (probably around the start of S5R3) but I had forgotten about it. Thanks to archae86 for providing it again.

EDIT2 (11 Aug 2008):
In the opening message of this thread, I stated the assumptions about versions of the science apps that the app_info.xml files were designed to handle. I deliberately left out the stock Windows 4.26 version because I assumed that people interested in manual intervention (which is what this all is) would have already been running one of the beta/power user apps and not the stock app. On reflection, I probably should have included the 4.26 stock Windows app just to protect people who decided to try this out without really understanding the dangers. So, better late than never, I added that capability now.

I call the statements I've added, a "clause". It's a term I use to describe a group of statements that apply to a particular version of the science app. You only need to get this modified version of app_info.xml (or add this clause) if you really need to support resend tasks that are already in your cache, ie that have been downloaded while the stock app (4.26) was running.

If you currently have NO resends or if any you have are "branded" as 4.36 or
4.46 already, you do NOT need to do anything concerning the adding of this clause, mentioned above.
