    clipboard2gs8.th.jpgthpix.gif

    FULL INTRUCTIONS FOR WINDOWS XP 64-BIT (Admin, make this sticky please)

    Files needed and order to install

    1. Copy tskill.exe to System32 Folder.

    2. Install following:

    - Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86).exe |just install BOTH, i dont care y, but it works|

    - Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x64).exe |just install BOTH, i dont care y, but it works|

    - Windows Internet Explorer 7 for Windows 64 bit Client-Server.exe

    - Windows Media Player 11 for Windows XP (64-bit).exe

    3. Install alky_1.1_trunk_032308-000051_2k3.msi and RESTART is a MUST.

    4. Right click on Sidebar.inf and press install and RESTART is a MUST (its annoying, but u have to do it AGAIN).

    5. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Sidebar\

    Now read carefull:

    Locate files and DELETE them

    -sbdrop.dll.manifest

    -sidebar.exe.manifest

    -wlsrvc.dll.manifest

    if they are not there, SKIP this step.

    Now, press right mouse on following: sbdrop.dll (Patch Vista Library), wlsrvc.dll (Patch Vista Library) and sidebar.exe (Patch and Run Vista Executable)

    -Sidebar will appear (IVE done that on atleast 5 computers with XP x64 and worked every time), but sidebar will look dodgy. Dont panic, just close it on the taskbar

    Left Bottom of your screen Press right on Sidebar icon and Close.

    6. Go to Control Panel Add-Remove Programs, find Windows Sidebar and press CHANGE, the menu will appear with following:

    The following will re-register Windows Sidebar, Repail Gadget Installer and also repair any Shared Gadgets you may have uninstalled.

    Keep pressing Ok, OK, OK...

    7. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Sidebar\ Open sidebar.exe and i WILL WORK.

    I havent modified any files at all. All files are in their original state, download them from original sites:

    Thanks for the write up on how to install this on XP 64Bit :thumbsup_anim:

    However I am having one small problem when installing the actual sidebar via right clicking on the inf file, I get this error message and I am unsure how to proceed?

    Vista OEM or RETAIL?

    in Microsoft Windows Vista

    As others have said about OEM copies, if you buy it off the shelf it is a once use only. As in once you have installed it and activated the copy it cannot be reactivated again and if you change a major part of your system, vista will deactivate and you will be forced to either buy a new copy or licence!

    OEM pre installed version, this version can only be got if you have bought a computer from a company such as dell who pre install it at the factory prior to delivery.

    How the manufacturer does this is they put a licence key table known as a SLIC Table into its bios on the motherboard, so that every time you reinstall using the recovery cd/partition it installs the corresponding licence key files onto the system drive to match up with the bios. That then activates vista permanently without having to contact Microsoft.

    Obviously if you change the motherboard in this system you will no longer have the slic table and your copy of vista is useless unless you get another licence key!

    Upgrade, probably the best option as it is technically a retail copy that only lets you upgrade Via the licence key.

    You can upgrade to all the versions (Business not included) from XP Home edition.

    But if you are using Xp Professional you can only upgrade to Vista business!

    I personally have an upgrade version of Home Premium that I have activated more than twice with no problems. :D

    Finally Retail, this copy is the most expensive opition which can cost double what the upgrade costs just to let you install from scratch!

    If you have lots of money or you can get it for free this is the ultimate option (no pun intended).

    Hope this helps ;):D

    Hi, is their any hotfixes or programs that need to be installed for the sidebar to work on xp sp3?

    I only ask cause when i put it in my unattended install it threw up and error message on first login and it will not work after that!

    (National Language Support Downlevel APIs update is not installed. Reinstalling Alky for Applications may fix this problem.)

    Just installed XP after Vista.

    Prop in the vista disc, boot up from it, repair vista, boot into vista, install some program (cant remember) repair XP using that program......

    DONE!

    ;)

    Do what Mr Thunderbird said and then use a program called easybcd to change the bootloader, then you will be able to choose either xp or vista when starting your computer.

    Ive used this program for a while with no problems :thumbsup_anim:

    I mean nLite or the Integrator to slipstream both of them: IE7 and Sidebar (sidebar addon already includes Wireless lan, Alky for Apps and Fonts)

    So you mean by right clicking on the setup info in the addon file it will install alky for apps, wlan and the sidebar automatically?

    If so then oops!! :thumbsup_anim:

    Ive only ever used nlite to remove bloat from xp installs, ive also slipstreamed sp2 but im unsure how to slipstream the addon into it as well?

    Im also not sure of this intergrator you speak of? :questionmark:
