Friday, March 25, 2005 by triangular | Discussion: Object Desktop
Hello, I am a new Stardock user.
I've purchased the Object Desktop package and would like to archive the individual setup programs. The only individual downloads I've found are for the trial versions of the software.
The problem is that I purchased the software for a computer that does not currently have an internet connection. This means I must download the packages to install on the other machine. Because I can only find the trial versions available for download, I'm now using the Stardock Central interface, but it seems this only allows me to INSTALL the apps. How I can choose to download and save instead?
Thanks,
Christian

I could be wrong here, but I think it is a bit different for the ObjectDesktop suite.
You will most likely have to install STardockCentral on the Internet-Machine, then download all the programs through there and archive them (right-click on the application and click on "Archive application"). After you have done that, you can burn all the zip-files in c:\program files\stardock\SDcentral\Backup onto a CD.
Then install StardockCentral on your second computer (you should have an .exe for SDcentral) and copy the zip-files from the CD into the SDcentral\Backup folder of this second computer. Run SDcentral and it will tell you that you can't download new programs (but you don't need to anyway). Hit 'File' > 'Restore Archive' and choose the program you want to install on this second computer, repeat this step until all programs are installed.
