Can only see classic skin

from Stardock Forums

I upgraded from Win XP x86 to x64 this afternoon and I can't get WB to load anything but the classic skin.  It wanted me to reactivate WB (I did) and I've installed twice through Impulse but it keep saying Wblind64.dll is missing.  I also tried the install from the Stardock Store but it says WB 6 (wtf?) doesn't work with x64.  Anyway, Avast can't be blocking it during install because it wasn't installed yet.

I guess I could try grabbing my Wblind64.dll from my Win7 drive but I haven't set up my dual boot yet.

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 7.3 (build 97 x86) - 64 bit OS

WindowBlinds is not 64 bit XP compatible any more, last version to support 64 bit XP was around 6.2.

That's... painful. T_T  And it doesn't look like Stardock hosts older versions unless I just can't find it (assuming my WB 7 serial key would work, that is)

support@stardock.com may be able to help, but Cavan1 is right we dropped support for XP 64 bit a long time ago because almost nobody uses it and it increased our testing by quite a bit.
