original title of SDC won't archive/install WB wasn't getting replies :(

Now that I have your attention:


SDC version (again): 2.41.447, build: 145
was running WB 5.50.021

For the last couple of versions of SDC, when I click the update it wouldn't work.
I have SDC set to autoarchive on update and that it would do, but then it would just sit at 100% archived and never download the update.

Got to the point where I would self archive, switch to default skin, uninstall, reboot then download/install WB.

This weekend it wouldn't even archive WB - kept getting a message saying (I believe) wb.xml 0 not found. I forgot to take a shot of it. I get the same thing attempting to archive Webblinds:

There was an error installing WebBlinds. The Following error occurred:

Load: C:\Program Files\Stardock\SDCentral\installed\wl.xml 0 (file not found)
Result: Installation failed (13)

Would you like to view the installation log file?

View log Cancel


View log didn't do anything = nothing came up.

Things I have tried:

SDC settings: Refreshed xml data - still wouldn't archive.
tried updating both servers / refreshing list and xml data on each server

Restored SDC to an earlier version - refreshed lists / refreshed xml data = wouldn't archive

reopened SDC - updated to newest version (again) - still wouldn't archive.
refreshed lists / xml data = still nada.

I even reinstalled SDC over it self = nothing. That usually fixes other issues.

So I figured WTH, I'll just unistall WB without archiving. I gots lots of other versions.
Uninstalled, rebooted (after the reboot I started getting CXP error must close every time I tried to run CXP - so I used Mikes .bat to reregister script = CXP came back - rebooted again), opened SDC, clicked install around 22:30-23:30 my time.
15.61MB + Rural Dialup = I watched for a while to make sure it was gonna do it, then went to bed. It was at around 17%.

At around 06:10 it was downloading at 75%.
At around 07:25 it was downloading at 39%.
At around 07:45 I killed it.



I haven't restored an archived on yet.
It lets me archive some things, some not - haven't gone through the list yet = just tired WB = no /WBlinds = no / object media & sweeper = yes
Any suggestions?

Never seen a troll troll himself before.......  

Zapper won't takeout SDC. Move the Backup folder somewhere else and uninstall SDC, delete folder and leave the backup folder 'somewhere else'. Reboot and install SDC. Reboot. All your apps will still be installed. Now try updates and archives....if it works, leave the old backup folder out.

Ya'll are so cute! I'm new at this and um, I was wondering...why do my Object Desktop programs keep asking for me to activate them? Once isn't enough for them; they want multiples?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a bunch!

Well, I'm disappointed there are no naked aliens here. Kinda would have liked a few nekkid Klingon females...

SDC hung at 100% archiving - never said done - had to close the window - checked, there is an archive in the new folder - haven't tested it yet to see if it's corrupt or not.

Bad form to hijack a thread - but it is my thread...

Are these standalone downloads? or did you use the Stardock Central Browser?
