SDC [Still] Won't Archive - [More] XML Data [Now] Missing

no porn in title - no support shows up

Wednesday, April 25, 2007 by Bichur | Discussion: Stardock Support General

As mentioned last month in my post concerning passing naked aliens in moderation, SDC won't archive either in auto or manually.

Seems my xml data is missing.

Tried each server, updating each time 1st.
Refreshed xml data each time (3895kb)
My xml data is still lacking.

The only way I can archive is to select one that available then download and archive.
In order to use it, I have to unistall the version I'm using first ---- but since I can't archive that one, I'll lose it.

I like making archives of the version I'm using in case I have to roll back.

But I can't

how can i tell?


Internet Options/ Advanced/ Security: Only 4-6-9 and 10 should be checked.

Blaster shouldn't be a problem......Trend on the other hand........

Have you tried disabling Trend and doing the archive/ install?

Hadn't tried disabling TM - been using it since the Norton/BITS/SP2 thing

I remember that..............took you three days to download it.........

Look in your Microsoft Update 'Installed' history list. See if you have NET Framework 3 and MSXML Core Services 6.0 (sp1) installed.

v1.0.3705
v1.1
v1.1 hotfix kb886903
v2.0

the only one showing any size, used, last used on... is v2.0 last used 3/19/2006


I let windows autodate - go back once in a while to see the other noncritical - saw the v3 before, but I remembered how I screwed it up trying to get paint.net to work

Does it show all versions installed (up to V4)? (ignore the info at the bottom).
