Install skins not working

Published on November 10, 2005 By Autumnmist In WindowBlinds

Double-clicking on a .wba file no longer works to install the skin. Windowblinds popups the systray message saying the skin is installed and if I look in the Windowblinds folder, the skin has a folder properly created there.... but the folder itself is EMPTY! None of the actual skin files/images get copied over.

No WinFX installed on the laptop (which is having the problems). Actually no other Stardock products other than ObjectDock.

Have you tried downloading using the "Right-click download link > Save Target as.. > select "All Files" in the save as type > save to My Documents > double-click to install" method?

Not Stardock - I saw this earlier: Link

Else, others are saying IE will right itself after a while: Link

Good call Bichur...I posted in another thread about WinFX being used to refer to WindowFX and I was sometimes confused, because I had CodeName Max and other beta software from MS, like the MS Expressions and Visual Studio 2005 Express suite. I didn't know about the file association though, I just assumed something I installed messed with it and I changed it back.

There msut be something else wrong here though.

Yeah, there is something else wrong here. .wba is definitely still associated properly with Windowblinds, it's the extraction of the files that's going wrong somewhere.
