OK, After running around the office a bit, asking questions I have got some answers for you.
1) You should not need impulse at at all to purchase the Marathon Theme. All the master skins use a separate store and architecture.
When you purchase the suite you should receive a email with a download link. That should be all you need to get the full pack.
(It will take a bit to download, since it is 288 megs.)
2) I have been told there is a Giant “Get Impulse” button on the bottom of the final “Purchase” screen. This is just for marketing, we would like you to have impulse, but it is not required, our used at all for acquiring the Icon suite.
3) If you don’t have Impulse installed, or you want to update “IconPackanger” you will need impulse. If you own Iconpackager it should just be there to run. You might want to update it so that the “Subpack” instillation goes smoothly. If you own Iconpackager, and it is not showing up in Impulse this is a problem, but unrelated to the Icon Packs. And you should contact support.
4) If you do not have Iconpackager at all you can download it from the link I provided above, or from the trial tab in Impulse.
I hope this helps. I am sorry you have run into trouble with this. The one of the reasons I released this as a master skin was to keep the purchase process as simple as possible.
PS. I asked about Appogee, and it is currently being update to Appogee 2.0, (finally
and should be downloadable from Impulse shortly. Updated with more colors and all the Vista Icons.

This is obviously something near and dear to your heart as can be seen from the effort and quality put into this package.
I lost a great friend to Leukemia several years ago and hope that a cure can be found to such a debilitating disease.
Thanks for taking the initiative and making a difference Paul!
PS. I hope you had a great run yesterday!
Your friend, Darcy

The ods are that you need to update Iconpackager to the latest version. Older version do not know how to un zip the Subpacks correctly.

Sub packs in action. You might need to re-install the package after you update IP, to make sure it installs correctly, if it dose not, you can just change the .IP to .ZIP, un compress the suite, and drop all the folders from the resulting Marathon Folder into your C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\IconPackager folder. This should work with any version above 3.

I simply added the individual subpackages to the 'Team in Training.packages' manually, and hey presto
(Marathon (Black) had to be installed seperately though.....)
Loving these icons to pieces. Top job, Paul, as always!

I am sorry to here you are having problems downloading the pack. Unfortunately this is the largest Master skin done to date, so we had to put it on the servers with our Digital Content from Impulse. And impulse is being hammered at the moment downloading 1000ish copies of Demigod a day, at 2.4gigs each. This seams to be leaving little room for the poor Marathon Icon Suite.
The good news is the problem should right itself soon as the early sales of Demigod leval out. I was wondering why sales had almost flat lined since tues day, this gave me the clue to fiqure it out.
Thank you for the support. I don’t think you should ever have this issue again, specially with a normal sized master skin averaging around 2 or 3 megs, not 288
