Hi again, I..

..installed Alky_XP
..restarted the computer
..installed sidebar.inf
..restarted the computer

Is there something else I need to do because I don't see the sidebar?

[ricktendo]

No that should be all, what OS and SP are you installing to?

[Sode no Shirayuki]

Windows XP
Media Center Edition
Version 2002
Service Pack 3

I attempted a clean installation of Windows sidebar, this time using the other download link, but nothing happened.

Rick would not do that, and I don't know if it would be possible for someone else to sabotage the addon, so I think you either got the virus from elsewhere or it was a false positive. Can you provide more information or proof? If it really is there, and I doubt it, then I'm sure rick will fix it.

Cheers and Regards

This was gone over A LONG time ago.

Due to the mods made to a couple of the files to make them work in XP they get flagged as a virus.

Hey Rick. Is it possible for this addon to be made into a multimode installer? I'm no pro at building installers but as long as the components were staged at the right times (alky first, then the sidebar.inf) that it should work...right? Maybe add a switch for lang too (-ai silent w/defaults, -ai1 passive, -ai2 -lang=en-gb, etc.)
Thanks in advance.

m_s can you specify what you need it for, how you want to use it...its a bit tricky to do the multimode thing because in the end the installer has to prompt for restart and there is no way to change the language because the inf will use the current language your operating system is set to

I slapped this together yesterday, it installs alky (I made smaller by removing runtimes) and then launches the sidebar inf install

I want to ween myself from nlite completely and your sidebar addon is the last reason I use nlite.
I'll give that installer a shot. Thanks!

FYI AFAIK its rvmi compatible, just add the word "addon" to the filename

Usually if you see a i386_compress section in the entries.ini of the addon its rvm integrator compatible

i can confirm this used it with RVM and it's working fine
