release of WindowBlinds7

from WinCustomize Forums

Hi you all,

can anyone tell me, when the official release of WindowBlinds7 will be?

Still didn´t find any option to download it so far!

I upgraded my computer from Vista to Windows7 and only installed, or better tried to install WindowBlinds6 under Windows7 then - but it didn´t install completely and windows shows me that  it´s not compatible with Windows7. But WindowBlinds6 is needed to upgrade to WindowBlinds7 finally - so what is that??

Any Ideas, Solutions?

Thanx!

Joe

I ran into the same cituation last night.  I had to uninstall WB6 / WB7Beta just to install my W7 update.

I am having the same problem.  Windows 7 will not allow WB 6 to install and there is no link showing on Impulse to download WB7.  Windows 7 states clearly that WB 6 is not compatible.  Does anyone have a solution?

You need Impulse set to show pre-release versions on preferences, click on the ex orb top left next to Explore, provided you have Object Desktop not just WindowBlinds.

Thanks!  Duh!  I forgot that I reinstalled Impulse.  I had pre-releases checked before but forgot to look at that after I reinstalled it.  Thanks again.  Loving Windows 7.

I finally got fed up with Vista and am now on W7 (64bit).. installed Impulse, and was able to intall DesktopX and some others fine.  I have the pre-release/beta checkboxes checked, however I still don't see WB7 in the list.  I don't mind waiting a couple/few weeks, but it would be nice to get a bit of news about when to expect it.

(by the way, I know I have the checkbox checked because I can see the Tweak7 item in the list)

Anyone with any hints of the release date?

Have you rebooted, EzraS?

Funny guy.. I almost spilled my tea laughing.   I think that question is just between "Is the computer plugged in?" and "Are you sure the monitor is turned on?"  in the geek bible of things to ask idiots.

 

*** EDIT ***

I guess my 2 year subscription ran out on me this last summer.. I just purchased a new Object Desktop subscription and it shows up in the Impuse list now.

Running windows 7.  Just uninstalled windowblinds 7 to reinstall and now only 6 shows up.  Pre-release is checked (and unchecked, and checked, and unchecked, and checked).  Windowblinds 6 cannot be installed.  Expiration is in February.

Fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling Impulse.  Still don't know why it disappeared after uninstalling WB.
