Icon Packager 3 Cause me an enormous headache!

from Stardock Forums
Just to let some people know -- Icon packager caused me 2 huge problems that I never thought could be caused by this program. In fact, I reinstalled windows because of it as well as spent 4 hours on windows XP and Word tech support people.

Here's the problems iconpackager cause me
1) Screwed up my Word and Excel. Could not open any document from the desktop or folders. Has to use the file menu to open anything.

2)Shut down my Help and Support section on the start menu.

I was about to reinstall windows again, and then I thought, "let me just uninstall iconpackager and see what it does." Volia! Everything is now fixed. Cant believe it! The program is VERY buggy, including how it switches icons around for various filetypes when you decide to add a new type of file to change. Its a great idea, but on both my computers, just adding one extra file screws up almost all other filetype icons, and you have to re-create the package again in order to get it right. I thought this program was supposed to make things easier. LOL. Well maybe when they patch it, it will work properly.

Sorry you're having problems. The latest version was suppose to fix these problems, but it only worked for some of the people. There are probalby 2 dozen or more threads already about this. They are well aware of these problems.

go to the folder where the file iprepair.dll is (the iconpackager folder). Start a command box (Start>run>cmd) and type regsvr32 /u iprepair.dll. Then reboot. This fixed all the problems I was having with iconpackager and I could still use it.
