Can't install 6.09i.[rc].139

from Stardock Forums
I'm trying to install the latest update through Stardock Central. It downloads wb6.sdc, gets to 100%... and then starts downloading the same file over again. It does this endlessly, redownloading the same file in a loop. Any idea what's wrong or how I can get it to install?

Can't see any 6.09i.[rc].139 version. Both SDC and Impulse are showing me a 6.10.079 installed (but with an excessive activations mention  :( )

Between Impulse not updating correctly and wrong versions of programs given through SDC (plus these excessive activations mention) i think Stardock is at the top ...  :(

Have you tried using Impulse? I haven't used SDC to install anything for awhile and haven't experienced this problem at all while using it.

When will there a way to just download the actual setup directly (just like the full release)? I think it might be time to start testing 6.1 release candidates as if they are the full releases. At this stage, they need to be just like the one intended to be on the main Stardock website. Impulse seems like it's intended to have standard Microsoft Windows Stardock app install/uninstall/upgrade process on training wheels ;)

Stardock's been distrubuting software digitally for a good while now.  They know what they are doing.  :)   :CONGRAT:

It's weird... that version was showing up since I had it set to display betas. When I turned that off, it went back to 6.09...something. Now when I enable betas again, the version I mentioned in my original post doesn't show up at all. I've never heard of Impulse, I'll give it a try and see if that works. Right now, I'm stuck with 6.03, can't get it to update to 6.09 either with SDC.

Version 6.10.079 that SDC is reporting as the latest version is actually the latest non-beta version 6.03. I reported this on another thread and it was removed, but it came back again on May 4. The actual latest beta is 6.09i[rc].179 which Astyanax0 is correct in saying is not downloading properly from SDC but is downloadable from impulse.

I expect Stardock will get round to fixing this issue shortly. (or perhaps they wont).

How do you get Impulse to display betas? I'm not seeing that version in Impulse either. It did update IconX, IconPackager, and some other programs I have that SDC apparently wasn't, though. Glad about that.

Can we expect to have a correct and full Version on SDC (when i say full i mean with explorer backgrounds running well under XP ...  :p ) ?

Unless a dev wanders by it's unlikely to get a response . . . we'll see.

Click on the stardock logo (top left corner) to access options on impulse. You can then set it to display betas.
