OK, I now have DX Pro working on my laptop.
I reinstalled DX Pro 3.5 via Impulse, then I installed the beta from the store OVER the Impulse install and it works. It doesn't seem to have a client mode/builder mode distinction, and it failed to create a themes folder. It no longer has the option to export as sidebar gadget, and it no longer loads widgets into the import dialog.
Other than that, it seems to work fine. I haven't tried to build anything yet. I'm sure I'll have to import all the plugins. I think most of them have been removed.

I have removed the bad 4.00.017 download from being available. At present, for Pro and Pro (upgrade - added back), there is the 3.96 beta available. As RedneckDude says, there is no longer the client/builder mode distinction and exporting as sidebar gadgets are gone. The plugins have been moved to Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\DesktopX\sdplugins (next to the objects).

And why does it not show widgets in the import dialog?

Bad decision in so many ways... How do I access the documentation to look developer things up for example ? If Stardock now strips down more and more functionality it is just useless and I'd say just retire it finally. It had to suffer for too long now.

Phoon, just a sugg, have you tried clearing your cache, running CCleaner, log out, back in?
What browser are you using?
I know it shouldn't matter, but if 3.96 is there for me, it should be there for you.

No difference RND, it still downloads the 4.x version.
Just curious, does 3.96 actually work?

Hm, FF - 4.0 / IE9 - 4.0 / Chrome : 3.5. Cleared the Cache beforehand. Strange.
Note: Never have/had such problems getting fresh versions from other vendors, so I think there may be a glitch in the store somewhere. I have sent the links Your way, Zubaz.

Only way I can get 3.5 is by Impulse.
I wish I had a 3.5 Pro I could stash away.
I can't get Impulse archives to work.

Is that 3.5 Pro Carl? If so, I might have to install Chrome and try.

Dooh. Installed Chrome on the office PC, downloaded, tried setup - 4.00.017

I've tried IE9 and Chrome. All downloads are the 4.00.017 regardless of what pc I use to try.

Apart from that I bet there would be a few good trusty people able to help out with the file.
