SDC doesn't see programs it didn't install. So if you installed CXP outside of SDC that's why it doesn't show. 1.3 is the latest version. To check, open Mouse Properties > CursorXP tab, and click the About CursorXP link.

Thanks!

by Spoon_Gouge - 9/4/2004 9:31:27 AM I've also noticed that Component Manager and Stardock Central are out of whack with each other. Since I've used SC to update programs, CM no longer realizes any of the updates I've performed. Since I've got these tools in SC should I simply not use CM? Does CM do anything that SC won't? Spoon_Gouge #1 by Scribe Hus - 9/4/2004 10:02:01 AM I don't think Stardock supports Comp. manager anymore, you most definately should use Stardock Central...and only Stardock Central.

Please keep all related comments in a single thread....... it's much less confusing.  

And Hus is correct..... Component Manager is history, SDC is the replacement.

Can you tell me what other components are no longer valid?

WinStyles has been replaced with ThemeManager. That's all I can think of at the moment.

You can also find CursorXP under "Misc" in SDC.

How do you install CursorXP Plus through SDC?

SDC only gives me the option of "Downloading" the free version - not "Installing" the Plus version. I had already downloaded the Plus version right after I paid for it.

ObjectDock Plus which I had also paid for and already installed independently had the choice of "Installing" in Stardock Central.

hey Ambereyes,
i had the opposite.

do you see Objectdock plus ion the theme manager list of programs?

i installed objectdock plus through SDC and dont see it in theme manager.
i didnt download and install the regular objectdock, so i get an error when a suite has a dock in it.

You need to enter you registration information from the confirmation email you got when you bought the program

Hi Essencay, I found the place to enter the SN for my Cursor XP. Thanks.

Hi Figureouter. When you are in Stardock Central:

1. Click on Tools up at the top left
2. Select Register Products
3. Select Miscellaneous in the left window of the Registration page
4. Click on the down arrow in the Product combo box
5. Click on ObjectDock Plus
6. Enter your email information (if it's blank) and your Serial Number info
7. Click on Register

If registration was successful, close the confirmation window, hit OK to close the Registration window

8. Select Misc in the left side window
9. ObjectDock Plus should now have "Install" as the selection in the Action field
10. Click on Install and it should install it and show that it is installed.

You should now be set.

Sorry I was so wordy.

Good Answer AmberEyes

I do my best.

I'm a technical writer so I tend to be very specific (and wordy). I've noticed sometimes, on the responses to people requesting help, that the "veterans" are so used to how to do things that they give very short criptic answers and forget that us newbies don't know how to drill down to do things.

(That wasn't a very well worded sentence was it?)

hi AE

my problem isnt that i dont see thse as installed in DCS.

i dont see them in Theme Manager.

i did install as you said (registered od+, exited, installed it.)

when i go to TM, i dont see any objectdock in Theme Manager.
i do see some other prgrams i have insatlled, such as Logon, bootskin.

i installed nestart3 and workshelf also, but TN doesnt see them.
i looked into the applications.ini file in the TM directory, and there are entries for those programs there.
so, i dont know why TM doesnt see them.

if i try to load a suite that has a dock in it, i see in the Advacnced tab that the dock portion is not installed (because it doesnt see any objectdock program!)

ugh.

any ideas???

also, the winstep products.
will TM not see them if you install winstep's package that includes nexstart and workshrelp in the asme winstep directory, or only as separate products??

Hi figureouter. I'm sorry I misunderstood your question. TM doesn't see my OD+ either. I don't know what to tell you.

However, my TM doesn't look like the one in the tutorial. I have the latest update as of yesterday (2.11.027) but my TM doesn't have the same left-side pane showing the "Available Suites", "Create Suite", and "Settings" options. It just lists the available programs in the left pane - but not OD+.

I saw somewhere in another thread that someone else's TM didn't look the same as the tutorial but now I can't find it to see if there was an answer to their problem.

I uninstalled the free versions of everything (and rebooted several times) before I installed ObjectDesktop, so I don't know if I still have the free version showing or not.

For some reason for me, it won't let me install the Cursor XP folder in my Stardock folder, only in Program Files.
