Stardock mcp file missing or wrong version?

February 24, 2006 4:48 AM from

Hi everyone,

I'm just wondering (I installed object desktop today) if anyone else has encountered the bug where the desktop x component says that the stardock mcp exe file is missing or is the incorrect version. I couldn't seem to find anything regarding this, and it presents the systray from being modified and the creating part of the program from functioning. I checked off this box in SDC too, so dunno what's going on. Any clues?

Thank you very much!

Weird. Third or forth mcp error today.

Have you all installed SDC and enabled MCP (and rebooted)?
Tools|Settings|General third or fourth button down.

I have SDC installed, and MCP has been enabled. I've rebooted several times since, but no change.

Any updates? Thanks!

In SDC settings, enable the Check for SDC beta releases. Download and install this http://storage.stardock.com/files/sdcentral_setup.exe right over the one you have.

Yrag, I've checked the box to enable SDC to see beta releases. Which link and setup file am I installing? The beta of Desktop X? I tried that one, and it didn't work.
