Fences 5 File Version Mismatch Message

Fences 5 File Version Mismatch Message

In an effort to improve the reliability of Fences 5 installs that are done overtop an already existing installation of Fences 5, we have added some messaging that will display if there are any file version mismatches. 

If you received that message, we would like to get more information from you.

  • Did the instructions to perform a reinstallation with the same installer work to resolve it?
  • What version of Windows are you running?
  • What anti-virus software are you using?

Thanks for your feedback and time.

thanks grfxguy,

 

Quick question, wondering if you installed standalone or with the Object Desktop Manager? Guessing standalone but just checking. Thank you!

Hello,

Updated from Fences 5.8.6.8 to Fences 5.9.1.3 and noticed that this had some negative effects on changes I have made to Windows 11 U.I. with Winaero Tweaker 1.65.  Specifically affected is the on-screen context menu opened by right clicking on the desktop.  Options "Windows Security," "Shutdown," and "Safe Mode" no longer display properly or function at all.  Re-installing version 5.8.6.8 cured to problem ad is fine for my needs.  -Just an FYI you may find of interest.

Hello, I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing this issue. Just to clarify, when Winaero Tweaker is disabled or uninstalled, does the problem go away?

Thank you,

Had this event popup today after opening the Fences app.

It seems odd that it expected an older version.

Attempted to backup the registry entries using the bat file and running it from a Windows PowerShell.  The script executed without errors but the .reg files it said it exported can't be found (I searched my entire system with the Everything utility).  Probably because I've moved my Documents folder to another drive.

Found the registry entries manually.  HKCU was as expected.  HKLM had 2 entries under Stardock - Fences & Fences6.  Backed them both up.

Downloaded a fresh Fences 6 installer from Stardock.

  • Did the instructions to perform a re-installation with the same installer work to resolve it?
    • Yes
  • What version of Windows are you running?
    • Windows 11 Home Version 10.0.26200 Build 26200
  • What anti-virus software are you using?
    • Microsoft Defender

Hope this helps.
