Why do any tasks I run on my PC #30 crash after a few seconds with
Exit status 1 (0x00000001) Unknown error code?

Computer is running Windows BOINC version 7.16.20 under LINUX WINE WINDOWS EMULATOR.

Task 542325

Stderr output

<core_client_version>7.16.20</core_client_version>
<![CDATA[
<message>
Invalid function.
 (0x1) - exit code 1 (0x1)</message>
]]>

I have seen this on several other BOINC projects and never got answers from them...

I'm going to guess that it has something to with what compilers were used to create the executable program.

The question is interesting.
I looked at the statistics for this host and for similar tasks.

It might be a compiler issue.
But other options are also possible:
It is also possible that some module or library is missing in your wine environment.
It is also possible that your wine environment lacks some permissions in the file system for the client application.
It is also possible that your wine environment lacks some permissions in the file system for the SPT application.

Actually, not much of my imagination (based on https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/results.php?hostid=30&offset=0&show_names=0&state=6&appid=)

if the running time is around 2.18 sec,
then it is very likely that the SPT application does not see the file with the calculation task.

Usually they should be in the same directory, then everything works.

If I correctly understood the binary content of the spt_*.exe executable file, then Tomas created it specifically for the wine version.

A simple idea came to my mind:
Try to do a reconnect (detach, attach) to the project for this host.

OK. Done that. Now waiting for tasks t download & run. Will check back to see how it works.

Also try running the native Linux BOINC client instead of the Windows client with the WINE emulator. It's possible that something is not 'translating' properly in the emulator, especially if you have seen the same error in other projects.

Oh well, No luck under WINE after Detach/Reattach.
Will just stop trying to get this project to run under WINE.
Have other projects with Windows exclusive tasks working fine.

I have checked all your hosts.
How our server sees them.

I can tell host 30 settings are different from all other hosts.
For some reason, he only sees "[BOINC|7.16.20]" and that's it.

Although the rest have such "[vbox|6.1.18|1|1]"
(different hosts have different ways, but the main thing is that steel ones have [vbox...] everywhere).

(In other words, is everything in order with the software environment of a particular host?
The rest of your hosts are doing great.)

Could this be the reason?
Can you double check your settings for host 30?

Nothing wrong with that computer. It's primary/BOOT OS is Ubuntu Linux 18.04 LTS and runs BOINC using WINE.

Wine (originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator") is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, & BSD. Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop.

I don't have any extra Windows licenses and don't want to waste $$$ acquiring any license for a 2nd handed free computer that didn't have a hard drive when given to me.

It doesn't have Virtual Box installed under WINE since the BOINC projects I run on it don't need it and this project doesn't use it either.

BOINC 7.16.20 is the most recent version that installs and runs without freezes & crashes under WINE. This should not make a difference.

I have WINE configured to simulate "Microsoft Windows 7" [Ultimate N x64 Edition, Service Pack 1, (06.01.7601.00)].

Like I said in previous post there's several other BOINC projects that the Windows apps won't run under WINE on this PC, which is fine by me and not worth time to troubleshoot.
