Thanks for fixing the "WB5 was not installed correctly" bug in the previous build.


However, now we have major problems in this new build (4.96.B.003) when trying to load other skins like "Dreamland" the whole thing just crashes! I have a new installation of x64 and trust me, WB5 hates it. Check out the screenshot I took and see it for your self.


P.S. No I don't have information from the troubleshooter because I can't even get there!

It seems not all of the WB files got updated on your PC.

Uninstall WB, reboot, delete all spare files in the WB dir, reinstall WB, reboot.

Better?

Ok I did exactly that and it still crashes.

I went back to 4.6 based on my previous experience. I'll wait for the next WB5 build and will make sure to include that if I have problems again with other skins. Thanks for the help Neil.

Without people helping us solve these things, we won't be able to resolve this kind of thing.  As far as we can tell, WindowBlinds 5 works fine on X64.

No it does not, I cannot skin anything, I still get a windows classic screen and cannot apply a skin.

Everything seems to be installed properly as well.
