Are you asking where to put it? To start with shut boinc down. For Vista it seems best to do a search for the Boinc folder. Then in that you should have projects/milkyway..., delete the stock app, then place the opti app in. And restart boinc.

Or where it downloaded to? Search for the folder name of the one you chose to dl.

Where to Unzip to? That would be of your choosing, doesn't matter. Take the files from that and place in your 'Boinc' folder.

Sorry I have XP, I'm trying to help.

That looks only like boinc related things, not project stuff. Try looking/ searching for milkyway folder: milkyway.cs.rpi.edu_milkyway (that's what mine reads).

What version of Boinc are you using? If its one of the 6xx versions Boinc puts the projects and data files under C:\User if I remember right.

Just try 'milkyway' if you haven't. I think the stock app is named something like milkyway 0.16


* Trying to think of other things to look for, but Boinc 6.x is setup different than 5.x.

copied from:here

BOINC 6 splits the directories, so that the BOINC executables are in the Program Files\BOINC directory and the files that are written to a lot are in the separate data directory.

By default this data directory can be found at:
Win2k/XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC\
Vista: C:\ProgramData\BOINC\

These directories may be hidden, so make sure to use Show hidden files and folders.

Okay..I found out how to show hidden files for Vista..the link you gave to that other forum topic was for XP. Vista how to: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/3a3bfe59-5268-4fb3-81c5-7972c28939cd1033.mspx

NOW..I can see it, I'm I deleting whats inside of the milkyway folder or the milkyway folder itself?

Also when I downloaded the optimized client it came with 2 files (a Application and XML Document), what exactly do I do with these?
