Wrong version after the update of WindowBlinds 5.50.017!!!!
Thursday, February 15, 2007 by SteveGosselin | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Hello,
After the upgrade of WindowBlinds build 5.49s beta to 5.50.017 via Stardock Central, the build number is 5.1. Before the update: 5.49s beta.
I try this tip: «I would suggest changing download servers under Tools->Settings and in the Internet Section. You might also want to 'Refresh XML Data' as well.»
Same problem.
But, WindowBlinds show me via "System Information": WindowBlinds 5.1.
I'm really disappointed!!!!
Thanx in advance

How about EVERYONE takes a step backwards, and thinks about how childish they're acting....
....hmmm?
I mean really, ...there's a whole slew of worse things going on in the world than a silly caching error on the WB server.

Haha... I just downloaded the "latest" SDC from your link and low and behold... wow, it's the same version as what I had before (because updates to SDC come in when you start SDC if there is one available. It's the same version as stated in my previous post and guess what? It still shows the new 5.50.017 as an available update.
The 5.50.017 shows up as an available update when you don't have "Show Pre-Release Versions" checked!!!
So, who's not being thourough now?

Perhaps if you check things out more "thoroughly" you will find this problem to be resolved.

Darken, the problem is not solved. SDC still shows version 5.50.017 when you have 5.10 installed. And installing a 5.49t (BETA version) is not a fix.

Hello,
You are not listening to me. Yes, I know what you wrote above will fix the issue (IF YOU WANT TO RUN A BETA VERSION), that's not what I am saying. I don't want version 5.49t as it is a BETA. Fact of the matter still exists... the SDC servers are still messed up with the version numbers. If version 5.50 does not exist in available downloads, then it should now show up in SDC, which is what is happening if you pay close attention to my posts above.
Hope that we're all clear now.

My understanding is that the 5.5 build showing as released was an error. This is now resolved but because of how SDC works, the 5.1 build will be showing as 5.5 in SDC if you had previously seen it unless the XML gets refreshed on your pc.
Once 5.5 is really released as release code (next week) it will show as an update and if you want to avoid RC builds right now then install the 5.50.017 that is showing as it is really 5.1.
I also believe that standalone WB 5 customers can now download the 5.49 RC using SDC.
Finally a quick note : Constructive criticism good, other types bad. Also treat others on these forums as you would like to be treated.

Incorrect. I've refreshed XML defs and Servers... didn't change. Still shows 5.50.017 as available update since I have 5.10 running. Also uninstalled and reinstalled (yes, the directory was deleted) SDC with same results. SD PHAILED in resolution of this problem.

What exactly are you trying to help me with? I don't have an issue with getting WB5.1 installed back after SDC hosed my setup this morning with the "Ghost" version of 5.5.017. I've reinstalled WB5.1 since then without any issues. My gripes are still with SDC (StarDockCentral) not working properly. TO FIX THIS, SD MUST FIX THE SERVERS THAT ARE HANDING THE INCORRECT INFO OUT... not something locally on my system.
Thanks for trying, but you phailed as well. Have a good weekend.

Complaining about not thoroughly testing.

JRSCCivic98: I just tried Refresh XML out on a machine which showed 5.5 and it now correctly shows 5.1.
The only reason I can think of for 5.5 showing would be if you still had it installed.
To be honest even if 5.5 is still showing for some very odd reason on your PC, this is hardly a serious problem. It causes you no problems that I am aware of.

I'm running the latest build (based on the fact that SDC always prompts to get updated if there's a new version that comes out... are you saying that this isn't working either? What's new?)
The version info on my SDC is 2.38.436 build: 139 is this the latest or not according to what version you are showing?
