release of WindowBlinds7
Wednesday, October 28, 2009 by Joe505 | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Hi you all,
can anyone tell me, when the official release of WindowBlinds7 will be?
Still didn´t find any option to download it so far!
I upgraded my computer from Vista to Windows7 and only installed, or better tried to install WindowBlinds6 under Windows7 then - but it didn´t install completely and windows shows me that it´s not compatible with Windows7. But WindowBlinds6 is needed to upgrade to WindowBlinds7 finally - so what is that??
Any Ideas, Solutions?
Thanx!
Joe

I am having the same problem. Windows 7 will not allow WB 6 to install and there is no link showing on Impulse to download WB7. Windows 7 states clearly that WB 6 is not compatible. Does anyone have a solution?

You need Impulse set to show pre-release versions on preferences, click on the ex orb top left next to Explore, provided you have Object Desktop not just WindowBlinds.

Thanks! Duh! I forgot that I reinstalled Impulse. I had pre-releases checked before but forgot to look at that after I reinstalled it. Thanks again. Loving Windows 7.

I finally got fed up with Vista and am now on W7 (64bit).. installed Impulse, and was able to intall DesktopX and some others fine. I have the pre-release/beta checkboxes checked, however I still don't see WB7 in the list. I don't mind waiting a couple/few weeks, but it would be nice to get a bit of news about when to expect it.
(by the way, I know I have the checkbox checked because I can see the Tweak7 item in the list)
Anyone with any hints of the release date?

Funny guy.. I almost spilled my tea laughing. I think that question is just between "Is the computer plugged in?" and "Are you sure the monitor is turned on?" in the geek bible of things to ask idiots.
*** EDIT ***
I guess my 2 year subscription ran out on me this last summer.. I just purchased a new Object Desktop subscription and it shows up in the Impuse list now.

Running windows 7. Just uninstalled windowblinds 7 to reinstall and now only 6 shows up. Pre-release is checked (and unchecked, and checked, and unchecked, and checked). Windowblinds 6 cannot be installed. Expiration is in February.

Fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling Impulse. Still don't know why it disappeared after uninstalling WB.

I ran into the same cituation last night. I had to uninstall WB6 / WB7Beta just to install my W7 update.
