WB5 not working on XP Pro x64 version

from WinCustomize Forums
Just changed my system over to the XP 64 bit version. I loaded my Object Desktop components from scratch. When I loaded the WB I went to version 5 but found it says that WB is not installed correctly. When I back up to WB4 it works and I see a WindowsBlinds_64 in my task manager.

Just checking on if WB5 supports 64bit versions yet?

The recently released Beta2 does, although not sure if that's for 64-bit CPU's, or 64-bit XP.

I was hoping the Beta2 would cover the 64 bit and in the release is says it does but it ain't happen'in for me yet. Any ideas along the lines of uninstalling, files or registry entries to remove before installing Version 5 beta 2 would be appreciated.

I haven't looked at that yet since I am Uhmm.....still working technically.

I have just done a fresh install of Windows X64 with SP1 on an AMD 64X2 4200+ and Window Blinds does not work. At all. It installs fine, activates, the WB window comes up, but when I try to install a skin, it makes the desktop icons disappear, the taskbar as well, and I cant right click on the screen either.
I have to log on under a different user and uninstall it.
Everything else in SD Central downsloaded and installed just fine.

Help!

Please ensure you do not install the beta release of WB on XP 64 bit.  Install the original 5.0 release.

We are tracking down the problem with the beta & XP 64 bit and hope to have it fixed soon.
