Friday night I tried to update WB5 to WB6 in my new install of Object Desktop. I have dial-up connection and knew it would take a long time. However after fifteen hours it said it was still installing WB6 and moving 73 items.
When I first opened Stardock Central it updated itself first, no problem. When I clicked on update WB5 to WB6 it said it had to un-install WB5 first so i said OK. I think there was a required re-boot cannot remember for sure.
When it got near the end of the blue progress bar it started moving 72 items, each of which said 10 seconds to three minutes. Three hours later the progress bar hadn't moved or any of the items completed so i went to bed. Saturday morning 12 hours later same thing, so I let it run for a few more hours, no relief. So I closed Stardock and it said Installing WB6 are you sure you want to exit. I had to go into task manager and close the process. Then I rebooted.
It failed to come up, several splash screens stalled and my CPU meter was @ 100%. Powered down and restarted, still no luck. so I rebooted into Safemode and went into Stardock and told it to uninstall WB6 which was showing up as window blinds 6.0 with no build after it. Stardock said unable to install, do you want to set as un-installed and i said Yes. Rebooted and everything was fine except no WB.
Has anyone encountered this? is it do to the slow internet connection or my security settings? (Black Ice and NOD32.)
Should I try again or revert to the WB that came on my CD since there doesn't seem to be any way to download the enhanced version of WB6 except to install through Stardock Central?
