[Stardock Central] Keeps on wanting to update beta after latest version is installed

from Elemental Forums

I installed the latest patch through Stardock Central, which worked great, but now it keeps on telling me every day that there is an update, even though it is the version I already installed.

I think it is due to version mislabeling, Stardock Central believes that the latest available version is 0.981.2, while upon installing it you get 0.981.065.

Stardock Central won't even show FE for me.  Did you do anything special to get it to show on your list of installed software?

You have to tick "Show Beta downloads" in the settings.

Ah, stupid me, I forgot that.  I see it now.

Yep, same thing happens to me, on two different computers. On same two computers I also get the same issue for the Fences2 beta.

I have the same issue. So I just completely uninstalled FE an re-installed from scratch.  Now when it attempts to patch via Stardock Central it starts the uninstall process and it bombs with an error "Cannot find network location No$KEY".  My next step is to manually remove it and hunt for registry keys to remove but I'm going to wait to see if the next patch fixes it.

I also have this issue, and have had it for .980 too.
