Hi Dave,

We think the problem actually stems from the sandboxed permissions of
boinc_project and boinc_master when Boinc is installed as a service on
Windows.  Doing

net localgroup administrators

neither boinc_master nor boinc_project were listed.  So we added

net localgroup administrators boinc_master /add
net localgroup administrators boinc_project /add

to our install script and things worked fine after a restart.  I think it's
because each time the wrapper tried to communicate with the client, it
didn't have permissions to do so, and would exit; but then the client would
see it has a free CPU and would restart the job until we hit the 100 retry
maximum.  As an administrator, the boinc_* user running the wrapper can
properly communicate with the client.  We are only running our own project,
so I we're not too concerned with the security implications of elevating
the privileges of the two boinc_* users.

I had tried redownloading the wrappers from the WrapperApp site, but they
didn't solve the problem.  We also tried using the wrappers that come with
the debian7 virtualbox server; those didn't work either.

Thanks,

Bill
