Suite Won't Install

Wednesday, April 20, 2005 by fridayxiii | Discussion: New Users

I've downloaded Theme Manager - and many other app's - but cannot apply a Suite/Theme to my entire desktop. I can downlaod a Suite, and when applying, I'm asked if I wish to install the boot skin, Window blind, icons, etc. I affirm, and see a status window indicate that 6 of 6 files have downloaded, but I never see the Extract status. When I click apply, I'm looking at the same XP desktop theme. I don't have any .ZIP files w/the theme files, and Firefox says everything has downloaded. Ideas?

fridayxiii,

Can you use WindowBlinds and IconPackager to install a skin individually?

What version of Theme Manager are you using? Free or Full version?

Let's start with this information and someone may be able to point you in the right direction.

I've got the free version of Theme Mgr - 2.11. As I was trying to install a theme, i was prompted to d/l the other app's like WB, IP, etc. I started out w/Theme Mgr, but ended up w/the whole nine yards. Thanks for your reply, much appreciated!

Citizen fridayxiii: version 2.11 had a bug in that caused it to not work correctly after the site switched servers and such. I just checked via SDC and it is now downloading 2.20.030.

I don't know how long it will take to get it from Link since that page is still calling 2004.

Thanks for the info Bichur. When I get home tonight I'll d/l the newer version & hopefully that'll take care of it. Will post back to letcha know

Edit: it appears that links to a downlaod of 2.11. Does anyone have a .EXE that installs 2.20.030? If so, the file could be sent via email; I tried to Google for 2.20.030 but got no hits
