Conflict Stardock Central-Component Manager?!

Published on March 31, 2003 By Jeroen Verhoeven In WinCustomize Talk

On my version 1.20 CM there is a 3.99 Windowblinds available. The latest on Central is 3.96.
So I downloaded 3.99 on my system through Component Manager. But is refuses to install because it says it detects a Stardock Central app.
In CM I cannot install.
In SC I cannot download and install.

What's up?

We are going to be asked to uninstall CM and only use SDC fairly soon. At some point, I think CM won't work at all. As I understand it, SDC has the most recent builds anyway. So you might consider that.

Yeah......I get that, but why is there no 3.99 on my SDC???

do you have tools>settings>applications "show pre-release alpha/beta versions" checked?

Definitely, that's the first thing I checked! Refreshing doen't help either. This is the issue I started with. No 3,99 on SDC, Yes 3,99 on my CM

I had heard that 3.99 was pulled because of, uhhh, *cough* anomalies...let me check on that.

I was told to ask if you are on the Atlanta server and if not, to switch to that and retry.

also...make sure you have the latest version of SDC...the RC1..will show up in help>about as 99c.151 build 4.

Ok, that might explain it. Allthough I am on the Atlanta server, I use version 0.92.123. I'll update to the latest version of SDC and get back to you (btw...how do I get the SDC update?)
Thanks for your advice!

in settings you can check to have SDC auto update itself on load.

Also,when refreshing SDC Data be sure to go to tools/refresh application data.I made the mistake of trying to right click on the OD tab for this to refresh,but it would not work.So try the other way as well.Hope your fixed up.

snarph:

Hope you don't have that SARS crap.

if you currently have SDC, it should auto update itself. You can uninstall component manager using the unwise.exe in its directory.
