Iconpackager v3.09b(b).002

I'm also having the same troubles with the latest IconPackager.

Ditto on this end. I posted this issue regarding WB5 since I presumed it was the culprit. After a few more XP installs, I narrowed it down to IP Beta as well. It'd be ---REAL--- handy for Stardock to post a few hints regarding how to nuke a faulty installation or issue of this nature that results in a hang to the OS in such a fundamental way. Could never get past this without a wipe & re-install.

I'm with you on an uninstall tool... I reinstalled 2 times before I found the problem. Good thing for Norton Ghost is all I can say

Add another to the list-I can not boot into windows nor can I rool back to the previous version. Thanks Stardock, clue us in as to how to get our PC's back up and running. Fix this NOW

Writing from my laptop PC BTW, since my main rig is now screwed.

Iconpackager should be uninstalled through the Stardock Central Browser.

If a program in the SDC list can't be uninstalled - try the ODNT zapper: Link

IP Beta (Iconpackager v3.09b(b).002)

The word beta should tip you off that there may be issues.

IP is a great app but its integration into Windows in beta has always been . . . problematic . . . for me at least.

Acknowledged as to the beta; I'm always prepared for something to not be quite right with one, but not being able to finish starting windows raises the bar to a new level. I'm a huge fan of their stuff, but I don't think I'll ever try another Beta from Stardock for anything. I was understandably a little pissy last night but I did manage to rectify the problem by starting up in safe mode and removing IP through SDCentral. Once I was back in, I went to re-install the previous archived version, and even though I selected the older version SDCentral proceeded to reinstall the 3.09 beta again. Everything seems to be happy, so I didn't have to try the ODNT Zapper, but thanks for the link!

I have only had that kind of trouble with IP betas. Enhanced Dialog was a bit goofy . . . but IP betas and my production systems . . uh-uh, no way, lesson learned.

WindowBlinds or DesktopX on the other hand . . I'll install thoses betas any day.

Yeah, you have a point-WB betas have never given me a problem-I'm with you there.

Well, the release that came out today cleared my problems.

The release that came today cleared my issues.

Excuse the above 3 multiple postings. Also I spoke too soon. My system has become unstable. I've had to restore to a backup I took prior to installing the latest IP.

Can you please try updating to the latest beta of IconPackager 3.09d[b].002 and see if the problem has been resolved.

Thanks.

Explorer still abends at startup.

Icon Packeger installs an autorun for iprepair.dll at startup. It resides in the registry category ShellServiceObjectDelayLoad. Use something like "autoruns" to remove this at load time and your problem will go away.... until you re-install from an update or something... was hard to figure out. Hope this helps.

or rename iprepair.dll fixes the problem as well. FWIW, the problem only seems to occur when WB 5 is installed (at least on my rig).

The 12-13-2005 version seems to have worked except that Stardock Central even after updating continues to not recognize the update.

Tried downloading the 12-13-2005 vervion yet a 4th time and all is good in the western world.
