WB6 install problem
Seems to keep retrying
Monday, January 28, 2008 by Opaline1 | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I purchased the $49.99 package along with Objeckdock +. OD+ installed fine but when I try to install WB6, it keeps going up to 99% and then restarts over and over again. It's been doing this for over 10 minutes. Is something wrong or is this normal?

try right clicking on WB > archive application > download and archive
that download straight to archive
if that's successful > file > restore archive
sometimes it takes a minute or 2 to pull up the folder (takes quite a while for me - lots of archives), then highlight the one you archived and restore

The new install package is missing a couple of bytes, that's why it's failing. According to my log. "wb6.sdc 0 | File Size Incorrect | 18198714 18195247"

If you are using Vista, try running SDC as an admin

Stardock needs to fix the install package. Tried to download with XP64 and Vista64.

SLK320: From which server were you downloading when you were receiving the wrong size archive?
Which version of Stardock Central is everyone using that has this problem? (Help->About SDC)

Hi, I tried opening SDC as administrator and attempted to download WindowBlinds again with no success. It just keeps recycling the download part. I was using US 1 as server.
