Impulse will not update itself, and thus other games

from Stardock Forums

First, I will mention that I love Sins of a Solar Empire, great game.  However my greatest complaint is with impulse, I likes Sins a lot better when it was still standalone, and thus easy to patch/update ect.

Right now, I'm trying to update Sins as well as install the new micro expansion.  However, apparently Impulse has an update that will not go through at all, every time I start it up, it's at 82.1% downloading, then goes into an endless cycle of retries.  I cannot interact with the update process at all, I feel like I've just wasted $10 on the expansion that will not install now, and best of all, I cannot find any contact info for Impulse.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

*Sigh* I figured it out, you have to completely uninstall Impulse, and then reinstall it to try and fix problems.

Sounds like something glitched in the Impulse update process.  Had you not updated Impulse in a while (read:months)?
