I checked the folder c:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock and Windowblinds is listed as a folder there but the program doesn't launch properly from there either.  One file, wb8config.exe, runs something but the window it opens is blank except for the line "Download more skins from WinCustomize" which is a link to that site.  I've run the install a few times, rebooted a few times with no change to the result.

I run as a user, not admin, but can act as an admin if Windows 8.1 prompts me as it should.  I log in as a member of a domain but that's never been a problem before.  I use security software which has never had an affect on it before (symantech antivirus) but that would alert me if it thought there was an issue and it hasn't.

I'm now dl'ing it from downloads.stardock.com and installing then rebooting rather than from Object Desktop Manager to see if that helps.
