WB6 install problem

Seems to keep retrying

January 28, 2008 11:05:56 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
I purchased the $49.99 package along with Objeckdock +.  OD+ installed fine but when I try to install WB6, it keeps going up to 99% and then restarts over and over again.  It's been doing this for over 10 minutes.  Is something wrong or is this normal?

try right clicking on WB > archive application > download and archive

that download straight to archive

if that's successful > file > restore archive

sometimes it takes a minute or 2 to pull up the folder (takes quite a while for me - lots of archives), then highlight the one you archived and restore

The new install package is missing a couple of bytes, that's why it's failing. According to my log. "wb6.sdc 0 | File Size Incorrect | 18198714 18195247"

If you are using Vista, try running SDC as an admin

Stardock needs to fix the install package. Tried to download with XP64 and Vista64.

SLK320: From which server were you downloading when you were receiving the wrong size archive?

Which version of Stardock Central is everyone using that has this problem? (Help->About SDC)

Hi, I tried opening SDC as administrator and attempted to download WindowBlinds again with no success. It just keeps recycling the download part. I was using US 1 as server.
