SOLVED-Error: -18 HTML code was detected within the download

Published on March 29, 2008 By bixmic In Stardock Support General

When downloading anything via SDcentral or the Wincustomize browser the download fails with the following sample error message. I would greatly appreciate any help in solving this problem.

HTTP: File: C:\Program Files\Stardock\SDCentral\Download\noia_2.0_(extreme)-2.81-fx.zip
HTTP: Url: https://www.wincustomize.com/download.asp?p=sb&LibID=38&skinid=18&file=noia_2.0_(extreme)-2.81-fx.zip&source=1

HTTP: Downloading: C:\Program Files\Stardock\SDCentral\Download\noia_2.0_(extreme)-2.81-fx.zip
HTTP: Error: -18 HTML code was detected within the download

My accounts are all upto date and I am using vista with SP1 installed. This problem began before installing service pack 1 and it seems that SDcentral updates itself and all installed programs okay.

Did some more searching and found another post about deleting IE cookies. I did that and all is okay.
