original title of SDC won't archive/install WB wasn't getting replies :(
Monday, March 26, 2007 by Bichur | Discussion: WindowBlinds
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:
Load: C:\Program Files\Stardock\SDCentral\installed\wl.xml 0 (file not found)
Result: Installation failed (13)
Would you like to view the installation log file?
View log Cancel
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?

Zapper won't takeout SDC. Move the Backup folder somewhere else and uninstall SDC, delete folder and leave the backup folder 'somewhere else'. Reboot and install SDC. Reboot. All your apps will still be installed. Now try updates and archives....if it works, leave the old backup folder out.

SDC uninstalled
folder deleted (backup 'somewhere else')
rebooted
SDC installed
rebooted
Downloading required components....This will only happen the first time you use Stardock Central..

downloading 5.50.023
which reminds me... when I updated to .023 the other day, SDC said it was installed yet the wb sys info still showed it was .021

Bad form to hijack a thread - but it is my thread...
Are these standalone downloads? or did you use the Stardock Central Browser?
