Need help with IP...

Tuesday, June 29, 2004 by Lady Aarielle | Discussion: Stardock Software

I was trying to update IP (click on my name) and I keep getting this error problem.... it also did it with other updates. However, it updated WB just fine.

IP works fine.... I just can't update to the latest version.... every program works fine.... just SDC seems to be having problems with updating.

Is there any way to update IP without using SDC?

It's 1.22.247 however, every time I open SDC it says it's updating to 1.32.275.... and it goes through the motions but it doesn't really update itself.

yikes....that ain't good...you're havin' a hell of a night.

Go here https://www.stardock.com/sdnet_login.asp download the file to your hard drive and manually install it right over the one you have.

Yeah, it's a hell of a night alright.
To tell you the truth I don't use SDC very often, except to update WB or IP once in a while.... I don't know why it won't update IP, since it updated WB just fine.
In any case I don't know how to do what you suggest... when I got it I just followed the on screen instructions and voila!!

Do I understand that it self-installed and all is well now.....or is that just wishful thinking?

Ha ha.... more like wishful thinking!!
No, I just meant that when I downloaded SDC way back I just clicked and followed the instructions. I don't know how to do what you suggest.... about manually, etc..

Oh...OK...follow the link I gave you and log in. It will take you to the Stardock Central install file (it will say 'Download Stardock Central') click on it and it will give you the option to save it. Save it to a temp folder or the Desktop (whatever). After it's done downloading, double click on it and it will install. You may have to re-boot if prompted. Let me know how it goes.

Ok,
This went very smoothly and turned out very well!!
Everything has updated and SDC has the 1.32.275 version that it was always trying to update to.
Thank you, very much!!

Now lets go check out the picture number.
