I will wait, as usual with any beta there may or may not be major bugs.

Waiting to see if any problems are posted in the forum is for me the best way to see if it works as advertised.

I suspect the new installer needs a little "help" when it comes to forcibly overwriting existing files. I'm looking.

This is for standard and pro, right? Can anyone confirm the correct version number for this beta? I'm seeing 3.50.018

should say DX4 beta V.3.95 on your account products page. Using the link above

Yeah, I don't see it.

Can we just skip DX 4 and move on to DX 5? DX4 just isn't getting anywhere.

The reason I waiting is that I don't believe there is a roll back option to version 3.5, which I have now, available in the Stardock store.

Weird. It's running just fine on the husband's desktop Win 7 64-bit system.

 

(He's my software tester)

When did he download it?  It's possible that it's been fixed.

There was a DX 4 beta already available before this release. Is it possible that he installed before today?

Well i would wait until they say it's been fixed before installing it and even then think twice about it LOL.. And it would be a good idea to make a restore point before installing it..

Hm, the setup file says it's for the Beta but like I said, it was downloaded less than thirty minutes ago.

He's loaded desktops and imported a few objects, so...

The new installer wasn't overwriting files properly. Fresh installs were fine. I've fixed it. https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products 

And yes, in the future, the new updater will show this and fetch it for you rather than having to visit the web page yourself.

Advice to the wary, create a restore point first.  That simple.  o_O     ;)

Wonder if Nakor was able to fix it?  :S

Okay, who is going to try downloading it?  :-"

(If I just would have waited........)

One infuriating thing about him; he never has bad luck on any of his computers.

Makes me want to hit him with a handy book or something.
