TweakVista installs Tweak7.exe file

November 22, 2009 6:19:51 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I just download tweakvista and it created a default blank icon, when I opened the location folder to replace the icon..

There is no "tweakvista.exe" file, but there is a "tweak7.exe" file instead.

Does tweakvista use the tweak7 exe file?

Or is this another stardock programing, impulse download or file naming mistake?

Note: when trying to download TWEAK7 thus impulse is says it is not compatable with my operating system (Vista)

I think renaming the tweak7.exe to tweakvista.exe should work. Looks like a naming error support should be made aware of.

After I renamed the file, Tweak Vista appeared as not being installed in Impulse, although it was installed.

I'm hoping that this will serve as notification to support about this problem. I don't really need support about this, but this seemed like the place to notify others, as well as notify Stardock. In any case - it will be the extent of my efforts since it's not really a problem for me. This is more of a courtesy than anything.

It's not a problem.  The codebase was split and there are some changes between the apps but the exe was maintained as tweak7.exe on purpose.  All is well.

If the tweak7.exe is usable for the tweakvista program, the tweak icon needs to be assocated with the new file name when running vista.. As the shortcut can not find the tweakvista.exe program
