1.45 broke things

hi, I have 3 Start8 licenses, and I've installed 1.45 on two of those machines so far, & it broke both.

it shows as activated, & all the settings are as they were, but I only have the native Win 8.1.1 Start button functionality. Is there something else I need to do? what happened? Both of these installs were 8.1.1 from scratch, no upgrades involved.

thanks

as it turns out, running the installer overwrote the files but removed the "Stardock Start8" service! Reinstalling re-created it & all is well. Not sure why it bungled both boxes, as these don't have much non-MS software installed on them, pretty generic.
