original title of SDC won't archive/install WB wasn't getting replies :(
Monday, March 26, 2007 by Bichur | Discussion: WindowBlinds
edit @ 14:02
Now that I have your attention:
SDC version (again): 2.41.447, build: 145
was running WB 5.50.021
For the last couple of versions of SDC, when I click the update it wouldn't work.
I have SDC set to autoarchive on update and that it would do, but then it would just sit at 100% archived and never download the update.
Got to the point where I would self archive, switch to default skin, uninstall, reboot then download/install WB.
This weekend it wouldn't even archive WB - kept getting a message saying (I believe) wb.xml 0 not found. I forgot to take a shot of it. I get the same thing attempting to archive Webblinds:
View log didn't do anything = nothing came up.
Things I have tried:
SDC settings: Refreshed xml data - still wouldn't archive.
tried updating both servers / refreshing list and xml data on each server
Restored SDC to an earlier version - refreshed lists / refreshed xml data = wouldn't archive
reopened SDC - updated to newest version (again) - still wouldn't archive.
refreshed lists / xml data = still nada.
I even reinstalled SDC over it self = nothing. That usually fixes other issues.
So I figured WTH, I'll just unistall WB without archiving. I gots lots of other versions.
Uninstalled, rebooted (after the reboot I started getting CXP error must close every time I tried to run CXP - so I used Mikes .bat to reregister script = CXP came back - rebooted again), opened SDC, clicked install around 22:30-23:30 my time.
15.61MB + Rural Dialup = I watched for a while to make sure it was gonna do it, then went to bed. It was at around 17%.
At around 06:10 it was downloading at 75%.
At around 07:25 it was downloading at 39%.
At around 07:45 I killed it.
I haven't restored an archived on yet.
It lets me archive some things, some not - haven't gone through the list yet = just tired WB = no /WBlinds = no / object media & sweeper = yes
Any suggestions?

so... if I decide I need to completely uninstall/reinstall SDC... do I need to unload and/or uninstall any apps 1st?

I'm by no means an expert but it seems you have tried everything with SDC and WB that you could. Is there a chance it's not connected to those programs, maybe something like a Trojan or Virus?
Would restoring the system to an eariler date or going into safe mode and restoring to last know good confirgation be an option or consideration?

SD has a utility to essentially ZAP all stardock products so you can start fresh.
I can't think of the name of it off the top of my head though.

Haven't tried an uninstall/fresh reinstall of SDC yet - waiting to find out if I need to unload/uninstall any apps first.
Don't really think that's it - I do regular scans and such.
I don know every once in a while SDC will glitch - old downloads not clearing out, not updating themes, etc - sometimes tied to the server, somes not... deleting some of the various related .ini files can jump start it.
I had to do that a couple of weeks ago when 5.50.021 was causing issues - the restore reinstalled it.

Sorry I wan't any help. I'll be watching to see if you get a fix for the problem.
I haven't had any problems here but have with other software. I usually come close to making a bald spot scratching my head trying to figure out what I did wrong.
