WB 5.0 - don't do it!
Seriously annoyed
Friday, November 4, 2005 by tarinuk | Discussion: New Releases
I've been using WB and Odesktop for over a year... It's great stuff, no doubt.
But why is it that when a module is updated I get problems? Last time it was Cursor XP, this time it's WB 5.0.
I installed it (from Stardock Central), restarted my machine, filled in my user data and pow... nothing.
The 'upgrade' couldn't make a signature... then it decided I had used up my installs (amazing given I only upgrade when I'm prompted to and have only 3 machines - 2 of which are using last year's products).
I'm pretty annoyed about this because it seems to be a repetitive issue and one that doesn't get enough attantion. Don't go down the MS route and use your PAYING customers as guinea pigs: SORT THE SOFTWARE AND THE REGISTRATION, then prompt us to update.
Oh and after uninstalling WB 5 (and rebooting AGAIN) there was no WB4.0, so I had to reinstall that too.
Can I bill you for the hour you've just wasted of my time?
No course not.
Bloody annoyed here.
