My Windoblinds went off on upgrade

June 15, 2010 2:35:18 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I just upgraded Windowblinds via Impulse and now it says it is not installed correctly.

 

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 7.1 (build 90 x86) - 64 bit OS

WindowBlinds is not installed correctly on this PC.  If you did not reboot after installing WindowBlinds 7 for the first time, then please reboot and try this again.Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

(SyncMaster 910N/912N/913N) 1 is attached to NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 7.1 (build 90 x86) - 64 bit OS

This is XP build, 64 bit XP is no longer a support OS. Last version for 64 bit XP was either late WB5 or earlyWB6.

64 bit XP usage is less than 1% of all OSes, not enough for Stardock to justify the expense of supporting it.

Yet they still managed to charge me for WB the same amount of those 99% other users who enjoy a working SW.

From the WindowBlinds info page at Stardock

System Requirements
●

Requires: Windows XP (32 bit only)

 

It is not like they are trying to hide the fact about no 64 bit support.

I suspect its less than that.  But yes there are insufficient potential customers with Windows XP 64 bit to justify the considerable additional development and testing costs.

Most people with 64 bit XP would have upgraded to Vista 64 or Windows 7 64 by now and both of those are supported by WindowBlinds.

None of our currently offered products are supported on XP x64.
