Can I Uninstall Impulse Now?
Monday, July 11, 2011 by LightStar | Discussion: Stardock Support General
Since Gamestop now owns Impulse and it is evidently no longer being used to provide updates to Stardock customization products, can I uninstall it now? I only use it for Stardock customization products, no games or anything else.

Since it worked great for so many years, why not bring SDC back until a replacement is created?

I tried that link again and it still won't accept their own password.

It'd need a revamp....you should see the script errors the browser section gets these days....
Yes, I still 'use it' but only for its IRC function...

Poor Impulse, So unloved and gone at such a young age.

Well I still have it on the computer, I guess I just like to be different.

Let me be clear for anyone else reading this thread. Impulse is alive and well for games, all this is pertaining to desktop apps.

I understand that, I'm just keeping it around for subscription expiration dates until the 'new' desktop apps program shows up.

I uninstalled it but the installer package I still have. Those I don't throw away.

I am going to also keep it just in case but have bookmarked the new page for apps

Still doesn't answer how we're supposed to update our ODNT apps.

Updated to what.. the latest production release? Most of us ( I believe ) don't use those. We use the latest beta release.

I agree I no longer use Beta of WB as it was messing up Excel 2007 when I tried to run it as as smaller window. I can still get beta from Impulse so I will keep impulse I know it works for apps as I just did a My colours Burgundy install using Impulse

How cumbersome. It doesn't tell us when it was updated or anything. So now we basically just have to arbitrarily download a bunch of separate installers and cross our fingers that it's actually an update?

Is it stupid to ask why you just can't have the application prompt you to update just like most other apps do? Not sure why a program needs a separate program to do updates. Also why not an about tab within the app. to tell you the version etc. (I guess WB has that)
