v3 icons in v2.5???

hello, first of all I've been experiencing the problem that I've noticed alot of other people have. When iconpackager 3 loads it crashes almost immediatly when it's searching for icon themes. I've followed the steps on here but nothing seems to work, and I really don't want to restore my system.


So anyways, as I can't use any of the new v3 icons in my currently working v2.5, is there a plugin or something that could be used to achieve this? Bit of a shot in the dark I know, but I'm really starting to get bored with my old 2.5 icons.


Thanks!

I have not heard of any plug-ins.

Not sure what the issue is with version 3, works fine here on 2 machines (Official Release version 3.00b.093 - not the beta).

Here is the zapper utility if you want to remove 2.5, and try installing 3.00b.093 https://www.stardock.com/files/ODNT_zapper.exe

Copy all IconPackager theme folders to a temp folder > Start IP > Tools > Restore all Icons > click "Yes" to confirm > click "OK" to apply > repeat for "Rebuild Icon Cache".

Use zapper to remove IP > reboot > run a search for "iprepair.dll", and if found change the name to "iprepair_old.dll" > delete any leftover IconPackager folder left in "C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop" folder > install version 3.00b.093 > reboot > test by applying one of the included packages.

If all is well, restore the copies of the IP theme folders to "C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\IconPackager\Themes" folder, and then start IconPackager to make sure it does not crash on you.

Note - disregard if you have already tried all these procedures, but still no plug-in.
