Icons disappear after uninstalling Iconpackager

Icons disappear after uninstalling Iconpackager

Hello,

  I posted this in the OS Customization forum but I figured I'd post here as well being that this is a support forum.  Here's the original post:

 

I was hoping someone on here could help me out.  I'm running the latest version of IconPackager (3.99.146  x86).  When I have this running my default Vista icons work as normal.  When I uninstall this program, a lot of icons change over to the blank document icon, some I can fix, some I can't.  When I re-install the program, everything works as normal.  Is anyone else having this issue?  Does anyone know of a fix?  Please help me if you can.  Reason I uninstalled it is that I was having some software issues and trying to find the issue.  Thanks for your help in advance.

 

If you can help in any way I would greatly appreciate it.  Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time explaining the fix. But the problem is still with Stardock lack of fixing the bug.

Stardock will never get another dime from me. It's not all their fault though. If you want to customize your system then stop using Windows, use Linux. I run Vista/Ubuntu dual boot. My windows partition is storage mainly, I only use it for Photoshop now (sorry GIMP fans, it's just not the same) otherwise I do everything else in Linux now and just store my music and movies in the windows drive. My Ubuntu desktop is killer, and far better than anything you can do with the help of Stardock, and your system resources are not gobbled up unnecessarily. Abandon Microsoft and Stardock for your own good.

I had the same problems and reinstalled Vista as I had not seen "the fix" and it was time to clear the clutter anyway.

However I'd just like to ask Stardock if the uninstaller routine for Iconpackager using Impulse has been updated so that default icons can be set and will remain if Iconpackager is uninstalled?

Thank you

so, how come stardock still hasn't fixed this bug?  only 6 months of complaining here, i don't get it

i really wish stardock would get their stupid act together, problems with several applications not working, cursorFX/XP i've been working with support for over a year, same as IP, and instead of fixing the program, they just keep releasing new versions with new features, which still have the same damn bugs.  i'm so sick of going through email support, which if they respond, is usually after a month when i come on here and bitch about it, then, eventually they just stop responding again.  seriously, i finally got the stardock tech phone number, i'm going to start calling daily until they fix the stuff thats been broken for years

Thought I would add to this. I had iconpackager working super. Well I had to install Vista 64 new. Iconpackager is the only thing NOT working. The second I install it ALL my icons show up like a blank page. If I uninstall it all my Icons are back. So I tried another install with Vista 64 sp2 for fun on another partion. Same thing happen again. There is NOTHING new I installed everything is just like I used to have it.. I am at a loss. Yes I have tried everything to get them all back.

Also when running iconpackager I cant see any of the packages.

Stardock can you PLEASE look into this.

It should be fixed with the current build

As of today, version impulse 3.14.351 (Images:3.12.212)(Build 975) it is not fixed yet. Just tried to uninstall Icon Packager v4.20.178 from my Vista installation and the same crap again.

this is extremely disappointing, i would think this is a pretty huge bug, which seems to have been ignored for a long long time now.  i don't understand why?  really stinks that i can't install IP.

shouldn't these fixes be in impulse or something, not some strange place most users won't see or even know exists?

The apps are updatded with bug fixes too.  Sometimes it best to spread it around though.
