Is IconPackager going to be available for Vista again?

It disappears from the "available software" listing in My Desktop in Impulse.

from Stardock Forums

IconPackager disappears from Impulse even if I go to Preferences and Reset Data.  It might show up in the My Desktop listings for a second but then disappears along with a quick, barely noticeable message about it being incompatible or unavailable or something for this version of Windows (which is, in my case, Vista 32-bit).

Does anyone know if it has been discontinued due to the "disappearing icons on uninstall" bug, or if it just a temporary thing until Stardock gets the kinks worked out?

While it's certainly not a necessary program, it sure is a nice one, and I'd hate to lose it after all these years.

 

Thanks for your time if anyone responds.

I have Vista 64 and IP works just fine. I'd suggest uninstalling Impulse and IP, clean the registry (i.e. CCleaner or Glary Registry Cleaner), then reboot and install Impulse then IP again. If this doesn't fix the issue, then I'd think you should contact customer support, as IP is something you paid for. ;)

From within Impulse:

-Click the Impulse Logo in the upper left
-Choose 'Preferences...'
-Click the 'Reset Data' button
-Close impulse and relaunch it. You may notice a long update time, which is normal as it is rebuilding the deleted info.

If this does not resolve the issue, I would suggest uninstalling Impulse, rebooting your PC, and then reinstalling from the latest installer build here:
