I have the beta working on my laptop. (It still don't know where to look for skins.) On my main rig, it took out my Pro.
Using 3.5 before the beta. Still 3.5 on my main rig.

Is there any update on this?
I am trying to work on something i need running for work. Im guessing i need to nuke this beta 4 version and go back to 3.x to make sure its all working.

Lets see.. I wonder WHY i dont use DX much anymore.
1. Used the link on the Stardock page to make sure i had the latest download.
That download shows 3.5 - YES Even after i install it!
2. The Serial # on the STARDOCK page, will not work, i had to HUNT thru my emails for the older one, and THAT worked to install it.
3. After I installed it, i went to open the latest project i spend HOURS on sat AND Sunday..
oh yeah, thats not there anymore, searched my entire pc for the file. YES the .DESKTOP file it there but its dated FRIDAY
How the HELL is that possible as i NUMBER IN SEQUENCE the versions as i make changes, and the last one V3 is dated BEFORE V2??
V2 is even OLDER (content) then V3.
I Had at least 6-7 HOURS into V3 from V2.
4. When i do attempt to load V3 with 3.5 - the only one i have now.. I get an error when attempting to edit the script.
"SYNTAX ERROR Invalid Character LINE1 COL1" - Really the FIRST Character of the script?
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME
OK DX - YOU SUCK - --- wow that sounds like an old post i made YEARS ago, nice to know its changed so much.
DAMN.
Do I even ATTEMPT to start over? What A FREAKING WASTE

UPDATE..
Went to https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products downloaded 3.5 - not 4beta -
When I created anything now, even something NEW and click on the script button i get:
Ok, this has me going nuts.
Where can i download the 4.x - or 3.99? whatever the hell it is.

The serial number issue should be fixed now. I'll work with you to get a list of the bugs you found so that they can be looked into further.

@Zubaz... I was able to reinstall a download i had of DX4_Pro.
It fixed the script issue, and after using the AWESOME Carbonite, i was able to restore the 700+ themes that had been removed by the uninstaller.
I have it all working again now. But damn, what a mess.
The website listed does not download the beta's any longer, so that needs changed, or updated on this thread, unless i missed it.
Where i went wrong was thinking there was an actual "update" from impulse.
Still have that disappearing item issue i sent in a year ago.. 
Oh well.. I if can milk this thing to work with what i need great. Just need to make this damn thing work.
Have not tried to export.. trying now.. Worked.. Gadget made.

I have mentioned several times in several places that the current download of DX Pro 3.5 that is in the store will not allow anything scripted to run.
I suppose David uncovered why.

missed that RND... but yeah.. it SUCKS and needs removed.. but i think Zu is on the case.

We all offered useful help with bug reports and working with Alberto over the years just to be left with this complete mess.

For those who got the beta to work on their system (looks like it's all Win7) what was the last version you had installed/updated previously?
