Thank you very much for your help.
- Download Sidebar Skin Patches- Replace the english sbdrop.dll.mui & Sidebar.exe.mui with the french ones (leave the folder named en-US)
- Extract the Skin patches and apply the skin you want to the sidebar.exe exectutable that is included with the skin patches
- Copy it to "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Sidebar\" overwriting the old one
- Right click on sidebar.exe and select "Patch and Run Vista Executable".
It's exactly what I've already done, and it's working fine for the french language of the sidebar.
Currently VAIO only supports the en-US folder...
VAIO will take whatever language mui files from en-US folder and patch the sidebar with that specific language
Ok, the problem come from the VAIO tool, it's only support US laguage and it's impossible to patch the system to use in other folders country...

Hi all,
I have install the Windows Vista RTM Sidebar from ricktendo64.
It's working great in US language on my French WinXP !
I've remplaced all the files from the originals French files Vista to the SidebarWindows Vista RTM Sidebar.
All working in French, only if I keep all the originals directories en-US, just remplacing the files.
But from the originals directories of the French Windows Vista Sidebar, the directories are fr-FR.
If I directly copy a French Gadget in my modified French Windows Vista RTM Sidebar, the Gadgets don't appears.
I must rename the directory fr-FR to en-US, and it's working fine.
I've tryed to change the registry keys, all the LOCALE informations about the Windows Vista RTM Sidebar, from en-US to fr-FR, but there is no change.
Anybody have a solution to localize the US Vista RTM Sidebar from ricktendo64 to an other country language.
(I'm not really good in English, all appologies for my language.) :sweatingbullets:

Hi all,
Thank you for your help, Ricktendo64.
I have made all this configuration for the Sidebar in French :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Install the VAIO program.
Copy all the originals files from the French Vista sidebar in the directory ' C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\ '
In the directory C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\ , patch this files :
(Using te right click and select "Pacth Vista Library")
sbdrop.dll
sidebar.exe
wlsrvc.dll
Execute this command from the Command Prompt : "C:\Program Files\VAIOXP\Tools\regtlib.exe" "C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe"
Copy the file ' C:\WINDOWS\system32\regsvr32.exe ' in the directory ' C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\ '
Copy the file ' C:\Program Files\VAIOXP\Libraries\manifest.xml ' in the directory ' C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\ '
Rename the file ' C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\manifest.xml ' to ' C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\regsvr32.exe.manifest '
Execute this commands from the Command Prompt :
CD "C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar"
.\REGSVR32 /s sbdrop.dll
.\REGSVR32 /s wlsrvc.dll
This is the list of existing directories:
C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\
sbdrop.dll
sbdrop.dll.manifest
settings.ini
sidebar.exe
sidebar.exe.manifest
wlsrvc.dll
wlsrvc.dll.manifest
regsvr32.exe
regsvr32.exe.manifest
C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\fr-FR\
sbdrop.dll.mui
Sidebar.exe.mui
C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets\
...
All the gadgets with te sub-directories \fr-FR\
...
C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\Shared Gadgets\
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Whell, all working good, the sidebar is in French, but the gadgets do not appears.
To solve this I can rename the folders of the gadgets from /fr-FR/ to /en-US/
or I can move all the files from the /fr-FR/ to the root of the gadget.
I hope there is maybe a better solution later, beacause it's not very simple for no experimet users.
Thank you again for your help, Ricktendo64.
