won't run right
WinCustomize Forums
tried numerous things and nothin has worked. But when i try and repair it, a message says "enter the full pathname to be installed with the following attributes %" for file GLBF3C.tmp. PLEASE HELP
What version are you trying to install? Purchased or trial version? What OS?
More info the better.
Wonder if you got a corrupted download, then. I'd delete it, run a utility like CCleaner to clear up any file & reg remnants, reboot and D/L the installer again. Might also right click on the WB installer .exe and run it as administrator when you do the install. Unless those are among the 'numerous things' you've tried.
If that fails, post back with as much info about your setup as you can.
How are you trying to 'repair' it, BTW?
Ty, I'll try it. I tried installing in safe some, every kinda mode.lol Tried SDSupportTool & fix_registrations and nothin. tried totally unistall it and deleting and reg entries and so forth. But I'll try and let ya know.
Yep all bad, I'm outta ideas, tried downloading in from Impulse,website, everything, So PLz do help
Impulse is no longer owned by Stardock, It's now owned by GameStop. Judging by the error message it could be due to privileges on your temp folder. Also if you have installed any previous versions, remove them before attempting to install the latest version. I would recommend using revo uninstaller.
get the wb version from the WC website.
wondering: does impulse continue to promote programs they are no longer associated with?
We can't help much with vague information like that. Unless you can be more specific about where you D/L'd the app and what specifically you've tried, what specific error messages you get, etc., we're in the dark. Inability to install is exceedingly rare.
1:Are you installing as admin?
2:Did you install with AV/security disabled?
3:Are you installing on your system "C" drive?
4:Is this a first time install or did you have it installed before?
Yes I have installed it before it worked fine in the past, Downloaded the app from CNET, After installing I get a message is after I reboot and everything, and open app and try and load a skin it says Program not installed Properly, would you like to fix? I hit yes and it than try again to load skin and same message, have tried different skins. Than I try repair and than get a message saying enter the full pathname to be installed with the following attributes %s" for file GLBF3C.tmp . I've tried installing in same mood to ensure to program would conflict it. Tried Disabling mu norton and spyware in admin mode. I'm just as confused as ya'll.
if a program needs this is order to be installed then i do NOT want that program. I have never had to disable my security software in order to install anything from Stardock. If that was the case i would never have become a customer. plenty of companies produce applications that can install with active security (including those that tie closely in with the operating system) so it should be a no brainer for others to do the same.
Well there are alot of AV Security software packages available and not all of them behave well.
Besides the OP's issue is likely that since he has had WB installed before the trial period has expired and since WB isn't freeware it will no longer work for free either.
+1 but generally it's not necessary to disable your AV for Stardock products. It's only advised if problems occur such as the OP's problem. Nimbin I don't mean to sound like a douchebag but your post has no relevance to the OP's problem. The OP could provide more information about his/her setup.
if you installed with impulse, you must uninstall with impulse, then install from stardock site when you have done the latter-you can uninstall impulse, if you wish
The OP is the one who started this forum post so in this case it is you.
The trial version is for 30 days. Uninstalling and re-installing after the trial has run out will not reset the time period.
I would recommend emailing [email protected] and start a trouble ticket in any case and link to this forum post in the email.
No, not everyone. You just need to ask the right questions. In this case: Question #4 in reply #9 did the job. 
The freeware is a trial, not a "Keep re-installing and use it forever for free."
but trial did not run out before, just went with Nexus instead
Eggsactly.
30 days is 30 days.
The clock doesn't stop if you stop using it for a period.
If you used and enjoyed WindowBlinds and the trial worked well for you, you may consider purchasing WindowBlinds. Why, you may ask?
You will get free updates up to the next full version number (7.30 to 8.xx)
You get unlimited downloads from WinCustomize for a full year. (admin, correct me if I'm wrong here)
You support a great software company.
Your desktop will look awesome.
What are you waiting for?
While the prior install may well explain the glitch, you'd think the software would explain it better if that were the case.
Just a gentle reminder, guys.... Support forums are for 'supporting' ...;)
Oh, I got a very similar issue just in these days...On a W7 SP1 x86 I was running WB 7.3 trial version and everything was fine. Just few days ago, when I started the PC I got a blue screen (?!!?); after a couple of minutes taskbar appeared in Windos Classic style (even W7 Aero default was disabled) !!! I checked WB, and I tried to apply some skins, but Windows Classic style was always there. I checked the software and I found message "...WB apperas not to be installed correctly .." By the way, I still had around 20 days trial remaining . I found as well 2 message from Windows Control Center, 1 about WB Configuration crash, and 1 about avp.exe crash ( stopped working; I'm running Kaspersky Internet Security, and there was no iicon in the taskbar) . However, I was sure problem was about WB, not Kaspersky. Taskbar was like "freeze", and even going on start button and click on it, nothing appeared (no start menu). Closing WB was not possible, changing skin was not possible, to stop the "freeze" was not possible..I restarted a couple of times, but nothing changed, At the end I went in Tune Up Program Deactivator ( TuneUp Utilities 2012) and I closed WB from there ( thanks TuneUp!!!). After WB closing, I restarted, no blue screen anymore and Kasperky tray icon correctly displayed ; I re-enabled Aero default , removed WB , downloaded from WC site (CNET), and tried to reinstall: the 20 days trial remaining was recognized, but WB was still not working (."..not installed correctly..."). I made a system restore with an Acronis backup . I restored only partition of HD C, I didn't restore "System reserved" one , because perhaps I could get some trouble, I don't know. Do you think I could solve restoring "System reserved" partition as well (I'm asking, but I don't thik so ) ?
Well, problem is that just 1 or 2 days before the WB crash I installed some Corel software, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 and Corel Painter 12. I even made an Intel software update (driver update ) . I think (well, I'm nearly sure) the installation of these programs has made some changes in system registry configuration, and probably caused the WB crash ( I'm sure the problem is related with some registry key, date or value ) . Perhaps if it was the full version there was no crash, I don't know.. But now I think even if I purchase full version could not work properly..and however I still got more than 2 weeks trial remaining (though at the moment WB is not installed in the PC) .
Any suggestion to solve this issue ?
