Hi Folks,

 i'm using Windows 8 x64 and the gridrepublic-Installation stops with the Message "Failed to add user to the 'boinc_admins group' (BOINC Master)"

What can i do to use GR@Win8?

Hi, 

If the GridRepublic install is failing you can also use the BOINC download which is a newer version of the software which GridRepublic is based.  Then you can attach to GridRepublic in the Tools menu as an account manager and enter the username and password used to register at GridRepublic.org

I'm pretty sure the BOINC install successfully installs on Windows 8. GridRepublic runs a few versions behind the main release depending on stability and features.

 Let me know if the BOINC install works for you.
