  1. Hi, I previously installed the Sidebar onto my desktop WinXP Pro machine and managed to get it to work after a while. can't remember how. Been trying to install the Sidebar on my Windows Server 2k3 for awhile and have not managed to get it working yet. I've installed, uninstalled and re-installed everything several times and keep getting the same error. My system info: Windows Server 2003 Standard SP2 2x Intel Xeon CPU (3.0Ghz) 1GB RAM Software present on system long before installation attempt: IE 7.0.5730.13 Dot Net Framework 1.1 Dot Net Framework 2.0 SP2 Dot Net Framework 3.0 SP2 Dot Net Framework 3.5 SP1 Visual C++ Redistributable 2005 MSXML 6 SP2 I'm using the server as a file, printer, app and web server and therefore have other stuff like SQL Server, IIS, etc installed, but I assume these things will not interfere with the Sidebar. The steps I took in installing the sidebar. - Installed alky_1.1_trunk_032308-000051_2k3 - Rebooted - Installed Sidebar by right clicking sidebar.inf and clicking on Install - Copied atl.dll (downloaded from web) into %Program Files%\Windows Sidebar the moment the folder is created - No problems/errors noted during install - Rebooted as requested by installation Took these additional steps in later installation attemps - Copied regsvr32.exe from %windir%\syetem32 into %Program Files%\Windows Sidebar (noticed that files are the same) - sbdrop.dll -> Patch Vista library - wlsrvc.dll -> Patch Vista library - sidebar.exe -> Patch and Run Vista executable - reinstalled Visual C++ Redistributable 2005 with the version provided by Rick's installer - reinstalled Visual C++ Redistributable 2005 with latest version provided by Microsoft's website, I believe its SP1 - cleaned registry of all sidebar related entries - cleaned path variables - deleted all sidebar and alky related files and folders and reboot before new installation attempt The errors reported when I run sidebar.exe are: 1. Runtime Error! C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime libraries incorrectly. Please contact......etc 2. sidebar.exe - Application Error The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click OK to terminate the application I have spent days trawling the web looking for a solution. I have tried all sorts of things, short of reinstalling the OS (got SCSI disks, reinstallation is a BIG pain in the ***). Installed VAIO2003, Alky for XP, etc. I have looked through every single post in this thread but still can't get it working. I hope that someone out there can help me out, I'll be happy to provide any info that's needed, and can even setup a remote desktop connection if that is required. It's a personal server so no problems there. PS It would be nice if the installer had a log.
