Object Desktop Manager Install and Update Status

from Stardock Forums

Just purchased OD yesterday and installed all applications on my new laptop, but have a couple of questions about how Object Desktop Manager determines the installation and update status of each application. The reason I ask is:

1. Fences: I installed "Fences 3.08.1" verified by going to "About" (Version 3.0.8.1), but in ODM under "Manage - Select updates to install" it still lists "Fences 3 - 3.08.1" as ready to download. Under "Installed" it lists "Fences 3 - 3.08".

2. SpaceMonger: I installed "SpaceMonger 3.0" verified by going to "About" (Version 3.0), but in ODM under "Manage - Select software to install: it still lists "SpaceMonger 3 - 3.00" as not installed. Under "Installed" nothing is listed. (I did change the install path to "Program Files (x86)\Stardock\SpaceMonger)

Anyone else have this issue? How does ODM determine the installation and update status of each application?

Thanks

Hello OzTechGeek,

1. Yup, I checked, apparently there is bug on ODM detecting installed Fences as only 3.08 actually should be 3.08.1 hence it detect it have latest update yet tobe install..

2. It is a known issue on SpaceMonger installed not properly update in ODM appearing as not installed. But SpaceMonger is actually correctly installed.
