I feel for you c242, but I have no idea what to tell you. Seems to be a lot of squirrelyness going on lately. 

Carl - check and see what version of SDC you have...should be 1.15a217.Build 31

Un-install SS thru SDC (both if you show two) and then delete the 'Skin Studio' folder in Stardock folder. Re-boot. Open SDC and try and install the 'Pro' version (should be the only one showing). In the mean time I'll see if I can find a backdoor to this.........

Download this http://storage.stardock.com/files/skinstudio396d_free.exe and see if it does the trick of showing the Pro version available in SDC after you install it. Caution: that is a direct download link.

Yrag : I think, You got me wrong. SStudio shows in SDC, but I can't download it. And I don't think, it is a good idea to mix standalone apps with the ones included in an OD subscription.

You're right Carl....I did mis-understand you about whether it showed or not. You're also right about the mix and match with stand alone apps, except that the SS beta is fully functional with the only exclusion being it's not 'Pro' version and will not trash your OD scrip. Better to have something then nothing. You can try it if you want and I will prowl the newsgroups to see if anyone else is still having this problem (I didn't see any earlier). You may, when it is all said and done, have to hit on T-Man for his expertise.

I am defragmenting my HD at the moment, no other option left... What is really weird, it's always the same file that hangs. Tried it on another machine and everything updates fine there...

I just caught a thread where on a re-install of SDC, Skin Studio disappeared....it appears you're not alone. Let me (or you can) catch somebody on chat and see if someone forgot to do something on the last builds of SDC........

Yes, could that be a problem ?

Failed... Still the same...

I just noticed something...that error you're getting is an archive file error. Make sure archive option is turned off in settings and try refreshing site data to get SS to show up.
