Can't update WB5 from 4.90g[b].003 to 4.95[b].008
Error with wb5.xml
Thursday, November 3, 2005 by lzvk25 | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I currently can't update WB5 from 4.90g[b].003 to 4.95[b].008, neither SkinStudio Professional from 4.90e[b].002 to 4.95[b].008.

Had the same error here's what I did, it might not be right but it worked for me
Go to Program Files\Stardock\SDCentral\installed\
delete sp.xml and wb5.xml
open Stardock Central and click to uninstall the 2 programs (WB5 and Skin Studio)
DO NOT click the uninstall skins check box.
It will say it can't find it and ask if you want it removed from the Stardock Central list, click YES.
Now it will let you install the updates.
All I can say is this worked for me on 2 separate occasions.

Installs fine, and wow, Windows Classic has never looked better 
4.6 is now broken and won't skin anything either, and that's after a complete registry, xml file and directory clearout of anything Stardock or Windowblinds.
First alpha worked great, what gone wrong?

Thanks Truepcs.
It works now, I just wish the Stardock people would be more conscious about their autoupdate.
