After reinstalling game got error DL needs updating for DA to work

I got an error message after reinstalling the game on my computer which drive has been formatted and a new Windows OS installed.

I chose all the installation options, so the complete game was downloaded and installed.

When starting up the game it said:
'Galactic Civilizations 2: Dread Lords needs to be updated to version 1.50.128 or higher in order to run Dark Avatar. Please download etc...'

This is strange because I think the game is maximally updated. I can't find any more things to update. The game continues to boot and shows that DL is 1.5 and DA is 1.80e. I could also start a new game in DA.

How can I solve this error?

Just discovered that Stardock Central lists GalCiv II as version 1.50[b].102. How can I get it to 1.50.128?

Uncheck the show pre-release version checkbox, then update dread lords.

I just started up Stardock Central to try your solution and an update option suddenly popped up, which fixed my problem! So in the end probably a restart of Stardock Central was the only thing necessary.. :-)
