As has been noted, Impulse is required to get the patches for the game. In order to have content digitally distributed to you, it is necessary to have access to a reliable internet connection. If the security or accepted use policies in your place of business do not allow you to install Impulse, it is an issue to address with your IT department. I can tell you that Impulse does not contain any malicious software and does not pose a security threat.
I use it on a Vista x64 machine as well. It has not been designed/tested in this environment and as such is not officially supported.

Please visit the general Impulse installation help thread here for some suggestions: https://forums.stardock.com/341573 If you are unable to get anywhere, please send us the error log and your startup information as detailed there. This will help move things along when we review your ticket. Send this information to support@stardock.com
If you send an email to support@stardock.com with both email addresses used, we can merge the accounts together for you so that you only have the one.
I do not see Sins and Entrenchment associated with your account. If you have registered them previously using another email address that will likely need to be merged into your current account. If this is the case, send an email to support@stardock.com to get your accounts merged. If you have never registered Sins you will need the serial number from it to do so.
Thank you for your suggestions. Future feedback can be directed to fencesbeta@stardock.com
Ready the balloons and confetti!
Impulse requires at least Internet Explorer 7 to be installed in order to run (see the requirements here: http://www.impulsedriven.com/about.aspx). This is due to the fact that Impulse uses Internet Explorer's web rendering engine to display any web based content (such as the store, community pages, EULAs for software, etc.) If you use Firefox/Opera/etc. as your default web browser, please feel free to continue to do so. Impulse simply requires that IE7 be installed, not tha
Glad to hear this is still helping out. About the only time it does not seem to help is when a country has multiple cities of the same name. The docklet to just defaults to one and you do not get to choose.
The BITS option is under the orb in the upper left, then 'Preferences', then 'Connection' and then 'Use legacy download system (BITS)'.
As you know, there is no way to get anything but the latest patch. If you had not created an archive in the past you will likely be unable to use the mod. Going forward, you will want to create an archive before updating. To do this, click the orb in the upper left and then choose 'Preferences'. Click the 'Archive & Install' listing on the left and then check the box that says 'Archive applications before updating' and then uncheck 'overwrite existing archives on update'. Doing this will
Do you have any security software installed? If so, I would suggest adding an exception for Impulse.exe so that it may download without interruption. What kind of internet connection do you have?
Sign into Impulse and then click the orb in the upper left corner. Click 'Preferences' and then click the 'Reset Data' button. Attempt the download again. If you have security software such as firewall/antivirus/antispyware you may either have to add an exception for Impulse.exe or temporarily disable this type of software for the duration of the download/install.
The thread Natasha87 referenced is here: https://forums.wincustomize.com/332642 This seems to help most people that have problems with the weather docklet (incorrect days, unable to load a certain location). It does not help where a country has multiple cities of the same name however. It will default to one and you get no option to choose the appropriate one.
Happy Birthday dingbat! Don't get too drunk....
The instructions to remove and reinstall .NET will work for Windows XP but not so much for Windows Vista. For anyone running Vista and having a similar error, try the following. -For VISTA Users: click Start, in the start search field type 'cmd'. Right-click on the search result and select 'Run as administrator'. For XP Users: Click Start and then Run, Type 'cmd' and hit enter. -VISTA ONLY: If UAC is enabled, click 'Continue' -Type: sfc /scannow -Wait for th
The download speed is typically pretty good. What kind of connection do you have? Please go here to run a speed test and report back what your results are: http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
There definitely will be a 2.0. Unfortunately there is no real estimation at this time as to when to avoid further disappointment. What Nimbin said more or less holds true at this point.
Yes please!
Thank you all for the feedback. We have an email setup to get feedback to the developer. fencesbeta@stardock.com can be used to send in your feedback.
You may need to repair/reinstall your .NET Framework, specifically .NET Framework 2.0. Try using the following utility to clean .NET framework from the machine. http://cid-27e6a35d1a492af7.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Blog_Tools/dotnetfx_cleanup_tool.zip Use one of the links below for reinstallation (depending on which version of Windows you are using). http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&dis
To avoid potentially wasting bandwidth for your download cap, I would suggest adding Impulse.exe (typically located in C:\Program Files\Stardock\Impulse) as an exception in any security software you might have. Also, if you have Ad-Aware or SpyBot installed you may want to temporarily disable those as they usually prevent Impulse from working/completing downloads.
