IconPackager (Free)?
But I paid for it... an now it's shareware
Monday, June 8, 2009 by Smaky | Discussion: Object Desktop
Yesterday I ran impulse (as usual), and after an small update I saw many updates available... among others, Windows Blinds 7, and IconPackager... but it was listed as IconPackafer (Free).
After installing it... since I was not able to do so under my Windows 7 RC testing machine before, I found it was showing a 30 days trial period (although my Object Descktop subscription is current). So I uninstalled it and used Stardock Central to install IconPackager (version 4.10), now I am getting an update again from Impuse but for IconPackager (Free).
I do not undestand this... if I install the "trial" how do I get it updated to the full version again?

OK, so I got rid of the 'free' bit and got IP to install on Win7 x64... even applied the Azenis icon pack just fine. However, when clicking to update to the latest version, I get the 'IP is not compatible with this OS' thing.
Huh? I have it installed and working... yet it's not compatible? 
Oh well, it's only early days.

IP5 beta is out now that adds true Win 7 compatibility.

Recently I received the trial expired error and found that the bets 5 no longer worked so I uninstalled it and found that it is not listed anymore... did you pull back IconPackager 5 beta?

IP 5.01 beta is still there so did you let impulse finish loading,do a reset of data & see what happens
free ip is still showing even after reset data & a manual restart of impulse since it won't do it itself even tho auto restart is ticked normally it would restart..lol..while i'm here deskscapes is showing a free version too,hey at least fences can be downloaded now, that reset is good for someting 
system is xp pro 32 bit
Edit: ip5 was showing as installed yet ip4 was in add/remove,uninstalled ip4 & did a registry clean rebooted & used restore archive,once finished the free ip showed up again..meh hide app should do it,outa sight outa mind..lol..

Nope... I have already done a reset data & manual restart of impulse but it will not show IP 5 anymore, just IP 4 which of course does not install under Windows 7.
BTW, I already double checked that Show pre-release versions is checked.

If i was in your shoes & i wanted ip5 to show again here's how i'd do it assuming that i hadn't already archived it before things turned to custard,if you have archived it,uninstall ip & use restore archive to install ip5,there's no reason for it not to show up in impulse so long as you used impulse to do the work
i have drive images created before doing anything in registry or any experimentation so with that said
uninstall ip
reboot to safe mode
delete ip folder inside prog files-most probably doesn't make a diff but i do it anyway
use regedit to delete entries for ip = HKEY LOCAL MACHINE & CURRENT USER-software-stardock-objectesktop
reboot to GUI & run ccleaner
start impulse
chances are ip free & ip 4 will show,after installing ip4 while ignoring the ip free & restarting impulse or doing a full reboot, ip5 with any luck will appear in impulse as it would've detected ip4 as installed,run the download & archive for ip5 if it's available,personally i'd then uninstall ip4 & then run restore archive to get ip5 up & hopefuly it will appear as installed in impulse, then again maybe not & you could be up the creek without a boat & a paddle
Don't know if it makes a diff or not perhaps using ccleaner to clear out the caches as well as temp files may help als,other than that maybe someone else has a solution for you to get ip5 back

Definetively this is an Impulse problem... I have just installed it on my work laptop (to install fences there) and it shows IP (as plain IconPackafer) & IP5 just fine, so I think it is impulse which is getting it's config data messed up. Is there a way to completely reset impulse metadata?

Smaky: A reset data should be all you need. You can also try running this:

There are some issues with the IconPackager beta and saying it needs a registration. These issues are on our end and are being addressed.
