Oh no - Foobar problems

[GOS]

Now, what is odd is that even with the restore, while it fixed the foobar that I have pinned to my task bar (reverted back to previous version, which works) but the new icon which...when I open it shows me the new version.

Makes no sense. I installed the new version just a couple hours ago, not yesterday. So, what's my issue with the new version? It doesn't recognize my Darkone skin. Makes no sense to me at all.

New version is a new program. You now have two Foobar2000s. 1 old, 1 new. They are completely independent.

Sounds like what happened to me. I went to update to v2.24 and it created a second version which shows as the basic design. I tried to use my Darkone v1.0 skin but it says that my Darkone version won't work with the v2.24. I went to the Darkone site to get a newer copy but it wants me to join their community for a fee. I figured WTF I'll just delete the new Foobar. When I went to uninstall it I'm asked what it wants me to remove. I was afraid that it would delete items that I needed for my current version so I canceled it. Now I have the older Foobar which works fine and the v2.24 which I just (can't) won't use.

You probably have one 64bit version and one 32bit version. The 64bit version has limited component add-on support, so just use the 32bit version. It is located in your Program Files (x86) folder. C:\Program Files (x86)\foobar2000

I'm still using foobar2000 v1 because of V2 incompatibility with the skin I'm using (I think I'm using DarkOne too) and all of the customizations I made to it so that it is exactly how I want it.

It works and I don't have to think about it, so I'm sticking with it until my hand is forced.
