the correct way to update to wb 6.2

from Stardock Forums
hello everyone
i purchased wb 5 then purchased an upgrade to wb 6. at first, everything went smoothly. now, i am trying to update ver 6 to 6.2.
using stardock central the update seems to download, but gets hung when trying to extract and install. i have done numerous complete uninstalls and reinstalls to no avail.
so, i thought i'd try to download the latest ver 6 directly from stardock and install without using stardock central. i dilled in my emai and stardock sent me the email showing my products, serial numbers and download links. i click on the download link for ver 6 and all i get is "invalid link". the link to ver 5 works ok.
so, bottom line, wb 6.2 just does not want to install.
any ideas on what might be going on? Home

try... SDC to download the newest straight to archive (one of the right click options)

unload, then uninstall the old - reboot

use SDC to restore the 'new archive'- reboot

well..... i guess 6.2 was just wishful thinking, eh?


so, i did exactly as you suggested.
download wb6 to archive
unloaded and uninstalled wb, rebooted
used sdc to restore wb6 from archive

still didn't work
wb6 hangs on wbsrv.dll. it tries to install, gets to 1% then starts again.

fyi
i'm running xp-sp2
i did a fresh install of asp.net 3.5 (i read in the forum it is required for wb)

any other thoughts?

Go to SD support and have them email you all your products that you have purchased. They will send you and email with a download link. Download directly, then install. Should work just fine.
