When I install the version in the "Direct link: Object Desktop Manager" that you give I get version 4.01 and not 4.02. Is this intended?

This might be long overdue. But, did you get to Version 4.02 yet?

Right after I posted my message, I enable beta again and updated Curtain and what you know... It works like a charm HAHA. Thanks for the reply and tip. I usually just go back to the released one and try beta again later :)

Not able to get ODM 4.02 downloaded from the direct link and it is still 4.01.  Even the Account page does not have it.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know if your subscription to ObjectDesktop still active? If yes, you should be able to download the latest version of ODM directly from your account. https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products. Also, the current version of ODM is V4.03.

Thanks

Same issue for me. I only get 4.01 when i download from my account page

Reply #13 from Stardock Forums Top

I verify it and yes, I too get ODM V4.01 if I install using the installer I download just now. I have forward your problem/question to Stardock Support Team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate your feedback and patience.

This morning my ODM updated to 4.03 as it had a dark theme.  But now there is an issue with scheduled updates so I started a new thread for that.

How did you get that V4.03? Direct download from Account?

It seemed to auto-update itself.  Not sure, but I did not download it.

Reply #17 from Stardock Forums Top

Strange, mine still stuck in V4.01.

Thank you,

Okay, got my update to V4.03. Just need to enable "Show beta Download". Close Object Desktop Manager. Restart Object Desktop Manager. It will initialize, check updates and updates itself then. (for anyone who might be in the same boat) :thumbsup:

didn't work for me. Still stuck on 4.01

Not sure why it not working on your system. Maybe try adjust the update check timing. And reboot.

It's ok really. Sadly OD doesn't really offer me much I can use anymore. In fact the only programs I "REALLY" could use are Start11 and Groupy but now they don't work for me. The only SD program I do still use is WindowFX and I purchased a key for it. It's not a part of OD and looks to not being worked on anymore.

Besides what's different between 4.01 and 4.03 anyway?

Reply #22 from Stardock Forums Top

Not really sure what the different. The only obvious one is it support dark mode. But, I am sure there are other things too.

Thank you,

I'm having same issue. And it keeps telling me I have updates available for Start11 and Fences. But when I check the apps individually, they both say they are up to date. If I go ahaead and the manager update them, it goes through all the motions but in the end, keeps telling me they have updates available. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, using the direct link, but still get version 4.01 and the same update messages? edit - my subscription is good til 4/15/23 and I have beta box ticked

 

one final edit - I just checked my second PC and it has the 4.03 version of OD. It's running Windows 10. My main PC is running Win11

In your downloads directory, there is likely a 'Stardock' folder there.  Delete it and try again.
