I dunno China, perhaps its something with which server you are downloading from cuz I just updated to 1.99k just fine.

My server is set to US-Atlanta

Annie- In SDC settings/general check clear temp folder on refresh. Refresh your apps. and restart SDC. Try the install again. It sounds like it's trying to archive your old install...might try and put a check on that archive option and see what that does....

Did you update SDC at the same time?...both updates were available at same time. SDC version should be 1.10d.204

Yes I did, The funny thing with the SCD update it had me restart my pc....never did that before usually it just restarts SCD

I downloaded XP Augustus with SDC and it went fine. But, when I try to DL Eleves Incorp I get this warning..

I wonder if I should use SDC to uninstall DTX and try to reinstall it? maybe?


BTW thanks for your help, Gary

This SDC install was a re-boot...I don't think SDC installed correctly. The themes d/l would go to established folders while Elves and DX would not. Not sure you shouldn't un-install (re-boot) and re-install SDC (re-boot)....I know it's a pain, but I think your problem is there versus other proggies... You can try the DX un-install route first (save themes and objects folders to temp folder) and delete anything else remaining after un-install. Make sure you uncheck DX 'run on startup' before you do anything and after un-install reboot perform clean install....if it works move saved folders back to DX folder.

I spoke to soon when I said it was OK, sorry
when I reinstalled SDC (an old version)...I didn't pay attention to what version of dtx it was installing...It was infact v1.94(.007

It won't Install the newest v of dtx..
There is definitely something wrong with the new version of SDC for some. >

So I'll just wait till SD fixes it.

Thanks again for your help Gary, Now gimme back that beer

China : have You tried to clear the C:\Program Files\Stardock\temp folder by hand ? That could lead to success.

Ok here’s what I did...
I went to SD and did a serial look-up, I downloaded SDC from the link they provided. Installed it, and it said there is a new version of SDC would I like to update, I clicked no. The library loaded and 1.99k was available so I clicked and it downloaded fine ....So it has to be the latest update with SDC

I haven't updated SDC I'm afraid to
