Latest Windowblinds 6-19-2007 does not work
Tuesday, June 19, 2007 by TheDude23112 | Discussion: Stardock Support General
I just downloaded from SDC the latest WB. Nothing is skinning. I get classic windows. 
I didn't do an archive. Is there any way to get the prior version?
From WB:

Your Windows Graphics Experience score is 5.9
WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 5 (5.51 (build 97 x86))

If you untick 'Show pre release versions' you should be able to get 5.50.
Too late now, but you should always archive when trying beta releases

Build 97 is an XP build so it looks like the installer has installed the XP dlls onto Vista which would explain why things are not working correctly.
The correct build for Vista is build 110.

What version of Stardock Central is installed? Help / About, the build # specifically.

The History is a bit misleading then
5.51 release
----------------
x64 Vista support added
Fix for issue with CS3
Misc tweaks and performance enhancements

I updated SDC to 2.45.462 build 113. I uninstalled WB and re-installed to the 6-19 release and I still have no Windowblinds.

I uninstalled WB again. I unchecked show pre-release. It only shows the 6-19 version available. 
I guess I'm stuck with Vista Aero.

What's the version reported in Help / About? There have been builds of
SDC in the past (113, I'm looking in your general direction) which then
failed to auto-update the files, even if the version string was getting
incremented.
http://sdc.stardock.com/sdcentral_setup.exe has the current version of SDC (2.45 Build 150), though I believe anything past build 147 should also be fine. Please reinstall that and then attempt to update WB 5.51.

I've downloaded SDC again and re-installed SDC. After a re-boot SDC Help / About goes back to 2.45.462 build 113.

You don't even need to do a reboot, just close SDC and reopen and it goes back to Build 113.

Did all that. After you close and reopen it goes back to saying build 113.

No problems with the 6-19 update so far on XP here.
Edit -
Spoke too soon: Regular menu skinning is fixed but Favorites Menu skinning is still broken. Works in 5.49.
