  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.
