On 7 64 bit, with ODM, I got the error, but no notice to reboot.

 

Downloaded from the store, my account, no problems.

 

ODM is buggier than a roach motel...lol.

Installed latest WB on Windows 8.1, in ODM it shows version 8.06 installed, yet when I do an About Windowblinds in the program itself, it still says version 8.05 is installed. CRAZY!  o_O

Sheep fleas stay to one "general" area. (Well, maybe more of a private area..)   :blush:

Sometimes a shower helps. Fill that tub up outside and give it a try. :rofl:

 

Back to the topic. Updating to 8.06 was the first time in over 7 years I couldn't use it without putting in my reg number. Must be something new. I always up dated and was good to go.

Well I guess we seem to all be experiencing different things, I updated and did not have to put in my registration number.  Wonder what is going on?

My desktop on Windows 7 says 8.06, my laptop on Windows 7 says 8.06... my desktop on Windows 8.1 says 8.05 even though 8.06 is installed.

Anyone having trouble installing through Object Desktop Manager or Stardock Central, try installing from THIS download. If you need your serial number/product key, you can retrieve it when you sign in with your account HERE.

But it IS still handy for downloading/installing non ObjectDesktop software. And for retrieving serials, etc.

 

I use it for Object Dock and CursorFX.  It can be easier than having to go to the store and logging in.
