[edit] Can't Link Result In State File

Because of an error in the Application Information File, all the work that was in-progress on the Participant's Computer is deleted. You don't see the other messages that I deleted for brevity's sake, but there were about 10-15 Results that were lost due to this one error.

Line-By-Line Explanation

• Found app_info.xml; using anonymous platform

This message tells us that the Science Application to be used for this Project (SETI@Home) is not the standard, Project provided Science Application.

'Unfortunately ...

• WU refers to nonexistent app_version: '(app-name)' '(version)'

The information in the State File for the Work Unit refers to a specific version of a Science Application and that version of the Science Application is not available. Because the Application Information File does not contain the correct information for the Work Unit and the BOINC Daemon cannot start the Science Application required by this Work Unit.

• Can't link workunit in state file

The Work Unit cannot be linked to the required Science Application Version.

• link_result: nonexistent WU '(work unit)'

Because the earlier link between the Work Unit and the Science Application failed, the Work Unit was deleted and therefor does not exist.

• Can't link result '(result)' in state file

Because the Work Unit was deleted, the Result cannot be linked to the correct Work Unit.

• ACTIVE_TASK::parse(): result not found

As a final result of all of this, the Active Task could not be found.
