[AddOn] Windows Sidebar v6.0.6002.18005

[ricktendo]

***Edited Pissed off rant***

The INF is NOT! for x64 install, its written for x86 systems ONLY!

[SourceDisksNames.x86]

Install the Sidebar the original way and quit bitchin, download the Unpatched Sidebar and the instructions can be found bellow:

"%ALKY%..\Documentation\manual.pdf"

If you are on a 64-bit platform, use \Program Files (x86)\Windows Sidebar and replace \System32 references below with \SysWow64

how do you exactly install it and how do you install it?

because when i extract i dunno what to do...

[Samkov]

rick nobodys complaining here, people are just anxious to get the sidebar workin for their x64 windows, and so far its been a no go, its not the problem installing the sidebar, thats the easy part, its getting alky to work/install on xp x64 thats giving us the trouble, and the instructions seem incomplete and unfull, so ya

as for everything else for x64 ill get a dev team goin if anyone wants to help out so we can get this working on x64 so just pm me or wutever caue a think a have a method/theory that will get this working after alky is installed

thanks again

I need more info not just it wont work, I need a detail of any error you might be getting.

My installation uneventful but the sidebar won't run on startup. I did try run it manually via program shortcut but nothing happened. For your information I also install gadget installer n sidebar styler too. The sidebar styler going freeze when I try to apply selected style.

[ricktendo]

Yea... Uninstall WSStyler, make sure you have .Net 3.0 and reinstall WSS.

If the sidebar still wont launch then uninstall WSS and don't install it again.

MZQueenie the instructions are in the Readme FAQ

Hello..

I have this running on XP64, ALKY for apps installed, sidebar installed. My error is about the load delay and I see where its said to install the hotfix for the error, only its not for X64. Is there a workaround for that?

Thanks.

[Samkov]

alrite im havin trouble with this as many probably know, could someone who has alky for applications and or the sidebar installed for xp x64 pm me or run me thru this, cause the instructions provided rele nrt workin so well

[lib9]

thanks i am wondering is there a way to make this addon in french (to change the language in french if its possible)?

[yadzil]

Weird...this addon work if I exclude Update for Ryan UpdatePack R13

[ricktendo]

What do you mean wierd yadzil?

It does not work for you with R13? (I use R13)

Yes ferigno1 you can translate this addon to frech... If you post a link to a french sidebar so I can download it I can maybe show you how to update the INF file and patch the sidebar to french.

It almost functioned

I installed the Alky, I download unpatched sidebar,

I registered the archives in agreement the manual,

I patched the DLLs, but when I go to make this

in executable

[yadzil]

I also not really understand Rick. My first try I include the R13 but my sidebar won't started. 2nd try without R13 my sidebar work perfectly. then I try again with R13..it works.

[ricktendo]

It might not be R13... Sometimes my sidebar wont launch either but its because of Windows Sidebar Styler not any updatepack.

Uninstall WSS or delete its DLLs in the Windows Sidebar dir and see if that fixes it.

ferigno1 that is not a link to a unpatched/unmodified version of the original Vista sidebar in french. You need to find somebody with Vista FR to give it to you and send it to me.

I need something like this ferigno1 but the french version http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=1516

Its a silent installer and its located in the svcpack folder, you just execute the installer (wtf? nothing happens . Its silent) and wait a bit then reboot.

@ kicko copy regsvr32.exe to the same directory as Sidebar.cab, that makes it go faster

Off Topic: How much easier can it get?

[Samkov]

alrite rick heres the prob i kno its a silent installer, but ive never had luck with your silent installers for some reason even back when we were all using vaio, so anyways lets say i just reboot or log off 5 mins l8er, nothings in my program files (x86) folder, nor anywhere else on the system, any suggestions?

thanks

[kicko]

i installed it but the gadgets were strange looking as if missing images. well i am used to click and wait. it's installed

Edited September 20, 2007 by kicko

[ricktendo]

Make sure you have IE7 installed and look at the gadget repair video.

[ipd56]

hi rick update to new down load no sign of the office gadget m8

[ricktendo]

You have to uninstall the old Sidebar (it deletes some registry entries) in order to fully install this.

The registry entries run after you restart, you will get a box saying Personal Settings, Windows Sidebar.

If you simply deleted the Windows Sidebar folder and install over the old one then it thinks setup was already done and it wont run on reboot.

[Samkov]

ricks wuts goin on with this silent installer, i have never been able 2 get them to work ru sure this 1 is working for xp x64? ive ran it various times leaving enough tiem for it to install, i haven EVERYTHING needed or required because i have been using this sidebar since the vista longhorn sidebar.

i meen there must be missing something cause alky wont install with tht 1 patch made about a week ago or with the easy silent installer

thanks again
