sage.sbd.platform.installation.softwareupdates.ui has stopped working error
As I travel far and wide fixing computer related issues (and some times non-computer related)
I came across an issue where Sage Accounts 2010 installed on Windows 7 64bit Operating system would crash when starting Sage it would request to be updated, if 'No' was clicked it would close the application. Clicking 'Yes' would start the upgrade process where where you can select the update. At that point the following error would occur;
sage.sbd.platform.installation.softwareupdates.ui has stopped working
so I did some quick research and found a solution!!
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common files\Sage SBD\ rename all the Sage.SBD.Platform.Installation.xxxx.dlls
I suspect that this may also fix issues on 32bit operating systems.
*****UPDATE*****
Thanx to a Miguel for email me and giving me another fix, see below;
Sage SBD Desktop Installer Utility (Build 111)
This update fixes the following issues:
Automatic updates – Sage.SBD.Platform.Installation.SoftwareUpdates…has stopped working.

It should not affect the backup or restore of the data.

You don’t need a login to get to the desktop update software. It’s just well hidden:
