Detecting some bugs on IconPackager

Published on May 25, 2007 By DArnaez In IconPackager

I'm using Windows XP 64 Bit Edition. IconPackager work fine for apply iconthemes but to create it some bugs that I detected. Some of them are to zip the packages.. as say other user in This Link.
Ok... Now... I detect another one. I have been created all the icons for build a IconPackager theme. All the icons was created with Axialis IconWorkShop 6.03. All the icons are ready for Vista. Ok. I open IconPackager and using the "Package Builder" module. After to replace the typical Windows icons by mines I save it and it look like everything is fine.
But doing click in "Start" button I detect an error. Some icons look ugly. Actually it seem like the 256 version is showed.
I opened the .icl with IconWorkShop and... what happen? Some icons are twekeds... I mean some icons have different icons in its format variations.
I came here and I found that another user is suffering the same. Look here https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=1620&libid=2

Ok... Surely the IP Developer may say me that I must open the .icl file with IconDeveloper instead IconWorkshop. But when I did it and I tried to look the icon defective the follow message appear:

"Access violation at address 00502B85 in module "IconDeveloper.exe". Read of address 000000000."

It have any patch to resolve this problem?
I wait anxiously your answer, developers.

Ok... as the developer are taking your time to answer our claims for help I will to write a step by step about what I'm doing to resolve the problem. (If exist any solution).

I'm using Windows XP 64 bit Edition.
1) I unintalled IconPackager and Stardock Central.
2) Reboot
3) I re-install them again.

Now I create a "New Package"

The problem is when Iconpackager build the library. So I think that a solution is to create the pack as "Individual icons"... in that way... if any icon format is changed I can replace it for the original icon that I did in Axialis IconWorkShop.

Just wait for to finish the step of place the icons in the package.

But the zip package process is impossible. It still saying:

"Error: Failed to load SDCZip.dll. Please reinstall the application to correct this problem."

... and I did it.

Another thing to add on this. I'm using the IP 3.2 on vista home premium. when I tried to load selected IP there are some icons that remains in vista default. like picture folder, music folder, control panel, game folder, doc folder and also live folder. I tried to changed it one by one on icon and cursor menu still giving same result. I already contacted stardock support regarding this problem of mine. Just to follow up on them, that I'm still here waiting anxiously on their reply. Any help from the WC community will be much appreciated.

thanks...
