From BOINC Wiki

For Example:

2007-09-20 10:35:17   Can't initialize file transfer for einstein_S5R2_4.40_windows_intelx86.exe
2007-09-20 10:35:17   No URL for file transfer of einstein_S5R2_4.40_windows_intelx86.pdb
2007-09-20 10:35:17   Can't initialize file transfer for einstein_S5R2_4.40_windows_intelx86.pdb

You see these errors at the top of the messages when starting BOINC.


This only happens when you have had an app_info.xml file and the applications plus debug file set manually in your projects directory, but later removed the app_info.xml file and not reset your project.

BOINC doesn't know where the entries of these files came from in client_state.xml as it has no recollection of downloading them by itself. And so it will give this error message and even try to download the files from the server, if necessary.

Solution: Reset the project. It will then download the correct applications.
