Though beta2 seems to work for most of you, there are still people suffering from some rundll32 related problems. So far we still haven’t been able to reproduce the described problem, but hopefully we will be able to do so.
There are some other issues we want to address in the upcoming release, being:
-> Version information in the app - Currently not available and it would definitely help you to identify which version of VG you’re using
-> Liability waiver at app startup - Apparently it is deemed a little aggressive and annoying, so we might remove it altogether or make it a onetime only thing
-> Restore points - Some people, especially those using beta1, had some “Vista kind of like died on me, now what?” moments, so we’re considering to add a ‘Create Restore Point before playing with VG’ option
You might also have noticed a slight, erm, “change” in the look and feel of our site. WordPress released an update and our skin is not yet compatible with this update. Currently we’re waiting for our friends at K2 to release their new WordPress 2.5 compatible skin. Please bear with us as that release is due in the near future.
All right, this one should work a lot better for you guys running 32bit. I tested it on a VirtualPC and this one seems to work just fine on Vista32SP1. We also included a restore for those of you with screwed up systems after running the beta1. Please note that if your system is FrankenGlazzed, beta2 will accuse your system files of being corrupt. While this is true, just click on the “patch anyway” button and reboot.
I installed a Vista32RTM on my VirtualPC, patched it using VistaGlazz 1.0 and then upgraded to SP1. Next I ran beta1 and experienced the whole ‘Vista is in pain, please wait while it keeps flipping styles’ problem. After this, I ran beta2, used “patch anyway” and rebooted, everything was fine after that. I unpatched to get to the SP1 original state and then repatched to ensure patching would work good for the clean SP1 versions. I experienced no problems at all, so I’m pretty sure everything works well.
Again, please do not feel obliged to download and use this beta as we will probably release a final (fully tested) version including a setup somewhere this week. We still need to run a full test to cover all scenarios so we can be sure it works 100%.

Yes! We finally have found the time to work on the Vista SP1 
compatible release of VistaGlazz. As it turns out, sleep is highly overrated and coffee is a great alternative for it. You might wonder why the post of and the link to the new release both refer to beta and why the download is not a setup. As it’s now well past midnight (local time), most of the people I know are currently sleeping, including those people normally asked to test our software. I can give you this assurance: It works fine on Vista SP1 64bit.
Please do not feel obliged to download and use this beta as we will probably release a final (fully tested) version including a setup somewhere the next few days.
Also, please save the file to your computer first and then run it. If you try to run in directly (as in: Click on the link and then decide ‘run’) you’ll most likely encounter an error. If you do have any problems or remarks regarding this release, please do not hesitate to post at our forum:

Update 2008/04/08:
We have confirmed that the beta isn’t working properly with 32bit Vista systems. If you are running a 64bit Vista system all should be fine. We are working on the problem and will release a new beta as soon as possible.
