Object Desktop does not recognize that Latest Fences 4 beta is installed.

from Stardock Forums

Ever since the latest beta of Fences 4 was release my Object Desktop never sees it installed. It always says there is an update available. I have now had Fences 4 installed five times without any success. So even though I have 3.9.8.54 installed according to Help/About,

Thanks, Basj! I had this problem with Start 11 at one point, and downloading the stand alone installer, instead of letting ODNT upgrade it got rid of the problem.

Some more information on the problem. I went into the Stardock download folder and manually ran the Fences 4 beta installer and same problem. I also noticed that Fences and Fences 4 beta were listed as separate programs in ODNT, but only 4 Beta showed up in Add/Remove. I then uninstalled, rebooted and neither version showed up in ODNT or Add/Remove. Then I installed Fences 4 beta, again through ODNT and it once again immediately said I needed to update from 3.98 to 3.98.54. Even though that's what I had just installed.

I cannot at this point tell if the issue is in the installer directly, or maybe the data it is writing somewhere that ODNT is reading it?

The only other anomaly I noticed is that in Add/Remove it is listed as Fences 3.98, not 3.98.54.

With the release of Fences 4 1.0 today, this should be resolved.

So far ODNT is not showing F4 1.0 available. As of 1:53 EST.

ODM is showing version 4.0.03 which is actually 4.1.0

I had to restart ODNT before it then updated the availability. It was still showing the last beta version before doing that. Again, my mistake. I'm updated now

With it having focus, Ctrl + F5 will refresh it as well.
