All, There's a new windows client available in the MLDS test work queue. This new client brings all the features of the new Linux CPU client (DS4 support, wrapper support, etc..) except it's still not statically linked, meaning we'll probably still have windows DLL mismatch issues. Again, if there's any windows developers out there who can take a crack and getting the client statically linked, the source is available on gitlab and I think we're mostly there. In the mean time, please test the new client in mldstest and let me know how it goes. So far (less than 12 hours in) we're seeing an 86% success rate, and most of those are hosts from one user that are failing for unknown reasons (likely DLL issues). We'll have to track those down. Thanks again for supporting the project, and happy crunching. |

OK, I've noticed at least some issues with people running the *latest* versions of windows 10. I compiled the client on windows 10 2004, but I installed a VM with Windows 10 21H1, and it errors out. I'm currently debugging, and I'm not happy windows 10 runtimes don't seem to be compatible among windows versions. |

A ha, found one issue.. I missed packaging a DLL with the client, so if you don't happen to have msvcp140.dll installed on your system already the new client would fail. I updated the windows test client to 9.91 to fix this. So if you tried the client before and it failed, please try again. |

Greatly appreciate your effort! Waiting for the first test WUs to arrive on my windows host. |
