Stardock Central not showing latest Windowblinds

Published on November 26, 2005 By Winterblade In Object Desktop

I just updated Stardock Central to 2.20.357 Build 103 and when I look at the Object Desktop programs I don't see the latest WindowBlinds version. It shows Windowblinds4 though.

I have WindowBlinds5 installed using a previous version of Stardock Central, here's the info from the Troubleshooting section of WindowBlinds:

WindowBlinds 5 BETA 2 Troubleshooting Report:

STATUS : WB+ SRV+ HLP+ UI+ TRAY+

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC.

WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC

Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

You have one monitor in total.

Is the "Show pre-release versions" option at the bottom of the SDC dialog selected?

Yes it was. I looked today and it showed the final version. I installed it and rebooted. When I open Stardock Central it doesn't show WindowBlinds 5 being installed.

Winterblade,

I am not sure what is going on there.

I am running Stardock Central version 2.20.357, and I have both WindowBlinds5, and WindowBlinds4 showing, and have WindowBlinds5 (5.00.001) installed.

Until someone with better knowledge than I have stops by, and assuming you have WB5 official release installed and working, you may want to wait.

If you are experiencing issues with WB5, or it is not installed correctly, I would recommend saving all your theme and skin files to a temporary folder, and then uninstall all programs > reboot > uninstall SDC > reboot > reinstall SDC > start SDC and register your products > verify that WB5 is listed correctly - should be 'WindowBlinds 5 (5.00.001) 11/28/2005'.

If all is well, install the programs you use, and make sure the activation completes either upon installation, or when the activation screen pops-up after rebooting and starting WB Config.

Again, I have used the SDC program, as well as WB4 & 5 beta for some time - but I do not work for Stardock, so my knowledge is limited compared to the official Stardock team who I believe are currently watching these threads to help with issues and identify any bugs.

Yes it was

I showed it with that box unchecked.
