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

I definitely think it's SDC not installing correctly (everything else checks out fine).....the question is why......
While I sleep
try something. Turn off Trend and just use the Windows firewall. Un-install SDC completely. Reboot.
Now, with Trend off, install SDC. Reboot. With Trend still off, try an archive/install.

THIS IS STARTING TO SUCK...
Turned of TrendMicro.
Uninstalled SDC, rebooted, copied - then deleted SDC folder, ran reg cleaner, downloaded new SDC from the SDC page.
Installed SDC (got version 2.42.449 build 141), refreshed xml data, SDC started a auto update of new version, new version hung up part way, had to kill SDC.
Still can't archive and now have only one xml (manager.xml) in the 'installed' folder.
Only good coming out of this so far is ODock 1.9 (free) now shows as installed

I've asked them to remove that build Bichur. This is the exact same build that doesn't update to the better 147 build and that caused me and a couple of other people a lot of trouble when trying to install Deskscapes.
See this thread: WWW Link
In post #21 Zubaz gives a link to an older version of Stardock Central, which then should update fine to the newest build (2.43.451 Build 147).
I would do the same scrubbing before though. Hope this works.

Thanks for the input Aufinch.
I originally updated to Version 2.43.451 build 147 around Apr 22
been having the xml / no archive issue for a while (for a least a couple of builds before this post
I had the one you mentioned bookmarked - I believe I even used it during the other post
I tried the one at the SDC page to see if maybe it would be better - wish I had read the DeskScape post a little more thoroughly.
ericaa - the way it's going lately... you're probably right.

I feel your pain, brutha.
Found a fix of sorts. I have some pervious archives stored. I changed the extension from .sdc to .zip, opened it, and extracted the .xml file to the Installed folder.
Tested with 3 apps.... RightClick, DX, and ObjectBar.
Archiving works!

Tried updating after copying xmls over:
KeepSafe 1.10.005 archived = 2.52 mb
IconPackager Beta is updating, however the auto archived version is 22kb!

I know that won't help you much, but I noticed that the only application that I had successfully downloaded and installed through SDC using the "broken" 141 build, refused to archive as well until I updated the application using the "good" version.
Pitty you are on Dial-up, otherwise you could try and re-download the application through your current version of SDC and then archive it.....

Hey Lady.
I tried the update thang with ODock. Got it updated that way, but it took several SDC installs to get it to show in the list.
One option is download straight to archive, uninstall current & restore archive (if that works)
One option is just to uninstall then download and install a new one
One option is SuperK's suggestion of going through old archives and extracting xmls.
No matter which way I go, what with being on dialup the last couple of months have been a royal pain in my polypterus patootie.
Downloading SP2 didn't suck this bad.
ah well, spank me red and call me rosie.

I gotta get it archived - then uninstall and test the archive
If the archive doesn't hold water, then I have to re download
If it won't archive, then I gotta find an archived one, unzip it, pull out the xml, see it it will archive using that one, then uninstall and test the archive - if it doesn't work, then I have to re download
If I don't feel like opening all the archives to get the xmls, then gotta uninstall and re download to see if the new one will archive
If any of the above work, still won't know if it will work again when an update is out
If I had high speed, I would just start over.
