The build is up on the store download page ( https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products ). The first link is a full install of 0.85 for new users. Anyone with previous versions of Beta1 can use the Beta Update download to get the patch installer (~200MB). Kris

Still targeting today for Beta 2, tweaking some things. No, it didn't make it out by 3pm EST. Kris
LizMarr, please redownload the build from the store. I think I've found what was unhappy and fixed it. Kris
Please do not post the private download links from the store. You saw it earlier because we were testing the download links. The WindowFX 5 Beta 1 (v4.90) is now available for Object Desktop customers. WindowFX 4 customers who've purchased the standalone version between Sept 1, 2011 and now should also have the beta on their accounts (and access to the 5.0 release later this year). There is an upgrade path on the website (as soon as the pages are live) for WindowFX customers from
You do not need to install the private EXE first. The patch is completely independent of the "install" in that it only cares about the correct files being on disk to patch (at the location specified in the registry). You can move the files over from your other PC, though you may need to activate on first run (if you hadn't previously). Kris
I have updated the Fences Pro installer to fix this problem. https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products Kris
We missed adding some registrations for the indicated period yesterday. As of 10pm EST last night, they should all be added up through Oct 31, 2010. Kris
Andy, we are using the latest 3.5.something version of Visual Patch. 0.75 was the previous beta release (and then a private EXE update from Brad on the forums). The patch is looking first at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Stardock\Drengin.net\ElementalFE (64-bit Windows 7) for a Path= value pointing to your FE directory. Which should have this file from 0.75: 1/18/2012 19:17 13,389,824 FallenEnchantress.exe Kris
Anyone else in the window through October 31, 2010 should have account records as of 10pm EST tonight. You won't have an email until tomorrow, but the records have been updated. Sorry about the delay. Kris

Blooder27, Yehudah, tjashen, LightEcho, bazerka250, and anyone else in the window through October 31, 2010 should have account records as of 10pm EST tonight. You won't have an email until tomorrow, but the records have been updated. Sorry about the delay. Kris
You must install the full 0.75 beta (~2.3GB) and then apply the 0.76 update on top of it (~33MB). There is not a full install download for 0.76. Unacomn, I see it on your account, please check https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products again. Kris
Thursday around 3pm EST (GMT-5). Kris
Sorry, but the beta builds require Internet access to download data files necessary to run. This will not be a requirement with the release version. Kris
Depending on which computer he's on, it's probably either a Dell UltraSharp U2711 or HP LP3065.
Serendreus, is the filesize 2,453,096,484 bytes? Is the md5 of the file 4c4055c6d1bb738344f6b73b37328d56? Use the tool at http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/md5sums/ to check that.
There will be a retail boxed copy available, but not a special LE with extras.
ATM, the plan is patch/update installs over the [large] beta1 base. Kris
I'm guessing you emailed support, as your account appears to be updated now. Kris
The betas are built to download some of their data from the servers on launch, in part so we can patch the data dynamically if need be. The release version will not have that Internet dependency. More in-depth updates to the game (i.e. new betas) will be delivered (in the coming days/weeks) as patch/update installers to be applied on top of the beta1 base. Kris
When you first click on the downloaded file, it's a self-extracting archive that is pulling out the installer to the temp directory and then starting that. If it is super-slow to extract and get to the point where it's showing you the first panel of the installer window, something else (anti-virus?) on the computer has its fingers in the pie. Dwolf63, is it getting to the setup wizard/installer windows or getting upset during the extraction? <

If you have access to another 64-bit Windows 7 machine, you can try pulling \windows\system32\d3dx9_41.dll (5,425,496 bytes) and \windows\syswow64\d3dx9_41.dll (4,178,264 bytes) and replacing them. If you're comfortable in the registry, than changing the version value at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectX to something like 4.08.00.0904 might also be enough to allow DirectX to try to reinstall (make a note of the existing value first). Kris
The downloaded EXE is a self-extracting 7z archive that'll run/extract and kick off the actual setup program. If it's hanging during the self-extraction, check for an anti-virus app specifically scanning it. Because it has "setup" in the filename, Windows 7/Vista will automatically request elevation for the self-extractor (which will carry over to when the setup.exe starts). File size for beta1 is 2,453,096,484 bytes and the md5 checksum is 4c4055c6d1bb738344f6b73b37
