I'm getting the same thing... Telling me there's an update, but not giving me the button to click... It's torture!!!    

Well, it's a start anyway   


I notice that 'More Info' basically takes you to a page to buy the software. Not really informative ... but maybe that is the intent.   

Latest update fixes update issues.

What's checkBox1 in the Prefs do?

PurrBall, I think that's the 'Show prerelease (Alpha/Beta) versions'

Nope, that's the first checkbox. The fourth checkbox is labeled checkbox1
Koasati is hesitant to check it........

OK... Got another update this morning. The following info was in the error log...

Interestingly enough, there's 3 impulse specific down loads each with different version information...

The exclamation point graphic is fixed for DeskScapes and IconPackager in this build.

+1 to the zero byte Archive
+1 to history 404. But only for some components, some actually supply history, some say information not available, some say 404 not found.

Installed this morning,Looks Great-Works Great! Absolutely no problems with anything. And the forums don't try to burn down my desktop. Bravo, Team Stardock,and Thanks. Five stars from me.

I finally got Impulse to work on my XP/Satellite internet PC. I had to go in to Internet Options and remove the proxy server information (the satellite software uses a proxy to optimize the connection). Without the proxy, Impulse was able to connect and download, albeit very slowly.

I've been trying, since this came out, with no success. Couldn't get past the log-in screen.
Tried the no proxy way and I'll be dogged, it works.
Thanks for the info, CptCrckpot.  

Will this eventually be pushed out over SDC?

PurrBall I think eventually Stardock want Impulse to replace SDC, but don't quote me on that, I've been wrong before.   

I see the store page has changed. I don't like it as much as previous page. Looks like most things have been changeg to show the products with text links instead of the nice graphics and screenshots that were shown before. Looks very plain and green now.

I like the news page though!
(Many of the image alt text has "&trade" after the name of the product i.e. "Iconpackager&trade")

This application will replace SDC.  However, we would not want to surprise our users by automatically replacing SDC with Impulse.  That is one of the reasons we allow these applications to run side-by-side.

We don't plan to push an Impulse install through SDC.  The initial install will always happen through the installer.

 

All,

We found an issue with replacing files on reboot this last weekend.  So if you have been having problems installing please uninstall and reinstall the latest version from the download link.

Here is the download link again for your convenience.

Thanks.
