Good Job SD.. everything working fine here.

Although im not thrilled with the several unwanted skins it installed which i now have to go thru and delete... and no i didnt choose to install additional skins.. it just installed them along with 5.5... rather annoying..especially considering the majority of them arent even per-pixel skins..otherwise.. nice update.

I got a lot too vStyler...and most I would never use...but someday you and I will be in that list of unwanted skin installs.  

I'd still like to get the standalone version if that's possible.

If you enter your e-mail address (that you purchased with) in the link below, you should get an e-mail with a download link.

not working for me.
after upgrading to 5.50.021 it stuck on welcome screen.

Its nice they include skins, to show off any changes. I agree though its an extra step to delete them if you don't like them, but it really doesn't take all that long to do.

haha.. didnt even notice my nice triple post.. sorry bout that..

did you reboot?

are you using demo version or full released one?

I don't think the trial is out yet.

yes rebooted.
but still not working i think some files are corrupted.
i will reinstall tomorrow.

I'd say in this case that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The build currently on my machine is - 5.10.021. Here is the info:

I have an older Compaq. XP Home - SP2. 512 megs/RAM. The graphics are built in. I can't afford anything better for sometime.

The last time I updated WB it worked OK but I didn't like the Configuration window. I like the Configuration window in the build I have now.

To sum this up: I am very happy with what I have now. All the skins in my library work just fine (there are a lot of them!). Is there really any reason to update at this point?

Does it work for all versions of Vista, like Home Basic?

It should.

I've been waiting for the this release and was disappointed that it does not support the 64 bit version of Vista. Any ETA on that version?

When it's ready.

so... no then?

Well, it's fairly accurate.

lol.   

Unfortunatley, I cant install this update.....I purchased wb 5.1 and I had my serial number emailed to me with the upgrade link, but when i try to install it, this is the message I get:

C:\Documents and Settings\crazyhorse\My Documents\windowblinds550_enhanced.exe
is not a valid Win32 application.

I tried it two ways, ran it straight from the download, (that didnt work)
and then I saved it to my pc and tried to download it from there. (no go either)

....so yeah, I wonder why?

usually signifies a bad download - using a download manager?

can you register it in SDC and download/install that way?

Bichur, your probably gonna want to bury me under that stump of yours for my lack of....brains......lol

how do I find out if im using a download manager....and how do i register it in stardockcentral and download/install it that way?

You would know if you were using one.
