Cannot install WindowBlinds7 beta

I'm trying to install the WindowBlinds 7 beta, as it is offered as an update through Impulse (and I'm curious), but after hitting the update-button, Impulse return an error saying my registration is not valid. I purchased WindowBlinds 6 months so I don't understand why I am receiving this message.

even though it shows up in Impulse it is only available to Object Desktop subscribers

:-( I was hoping it fixed the issues with updating the ATi Catalyst drivers (I can't update them while WB is active)

You must own Object Desktop, not just Windowblinds.

I canno't install too.I upgraded from Windowblinds to Object Desktop yesterday and when trying to upgrade WindowBlinds or IconPackager it shows me message,that my registration for this product is not valid.Any idea what could be wrong?

Be sure that you have ObjectDesktop registered in Impulse.  Click on the Impulse Orb (top left) and select 'Register a product...'. In the screen that opens check to see that ObjectDesktop is registered and if not then click 'Add Registration' at the bottom of the screen and enter the information you received in the email from Stardock after your purchase.

If that doesn't resolve your issue then please email support@stardock.com and they will get this fixed for you.

jeree - Yes that looks like ObjectDesktop is registered OK.

 

* I removed the pic as it's not needed any more

 

There could be an issue with Impulse and WB 7 at this time and I will forward that on to support.  They will return to work tomorrow morning. It wouldn't hurt to email support@stardock.com and initiate a trouble ticket on this issue.

For the people that have problems with the installation of WB 7 (code registration is not valid), i've resolved in this way:

Go in Update Tab

You see wb 7, now don't click update in the bottom part of impulse but in the right-top part there is a button "Install all updates", click this and the installation start

Strange but true :-)

Hmmm,it worked for WindowBlinds ,but not for IconPackager 5. I don't need to have it bought as stand alone,when i've purchased ObjectDesktop?

I had a bit of difficuty instaling WidowBlinds 7 too.  I do not have Object Dock.  I have WindowBlinds and SkinStudio 6.  What I found after a bit of fiddling around was that I had missed a recent update to WindowBlinds 6.  Once I right clicked on WindowBlinds 6 and ran the update, it installed the new version 7 without a problem.  You might want to check and make sure you haven't missed an update to Object Dock as that could cause the same problem I had.  Hope this helps.  :)
