    [AddOn] Windows Sidebar v6.0.6002.18005

    in OS Transformation Packs

    Posted

    I'm having issues installing this on Windows XP Professional x64. I've tryed the Alchy XP as well as the Server 2003 version. Neither of which allow the Sidebar to be installed, after clicking Yes I receive "INF Install failure. Reason: Could not retrieve the system message. You may run out of the system resource." & nothing else happens. Any ideas?

    Edit: I see the member above me is having the same issue. Any feedback?

    As long as i remember, i never had a similar error. Unless u didnt install all the programs listed above in my previous post. The only thing i can come up with, that u forgot something to install since all programs required to run sidebar. I havent changed anything at all, all i know that if u follow steps it just works, cuz ive done my mini-tutorial as i was installing sidebar on my own pc.. :S

    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:

    alky_1.1_trunk_032308-000051_2k3.msi at http://www.fromvistatoxp.com/builds/1.1/al...-000051_2k3.rar

    Thanks to creators, whom i dont know :D

    Vista OEM or RETAIL?

    in Microsoft Windows Vista

    Posted

    the oem licence will be tied to your machine, whereas the rtm to u as the person. take this factor into consideration too.

    Well. OEM Licence IS NOT tied to ONE machine. Ive had one machicne with Vista Home Preamium SP1 (i have bought it separetly) and recently (2 weeks or so) bought completley new machine, i mean not a single part left from my old one. And i have read this similar stuff before. Since i didnt sell my Vista, i thought what the hell. And gues what, after installing SAME OEM Vista Home Premium SP1 on absolutely DIFFERENT machine, i PASSED Activation in like 3 secs. :icon_cool:

    i follow this link for a while, and give this sidebar to many friends using xp32, thanks a lot ricktendo64.

    i have 2 questions:

    1)

    to make ricktendo64's sidebar work on xp64, all i need tskill.exe on system32 folder ?? no problem :>. (i already have one in my system32)

    but

    i am using 2003x64 (r2 enterprise) for a long time (for personal use(to learn)) and as i configured lots of utilities, no short plan to change it back to xp64.

    As you know, xp64 and 2003x64 are mainly the same system, mostly many programs work the same with one or other. (i call xp64=win2003x64 client or workstation)

    2)

    as ambo achived to install on xp64, can anyone tell me how to overcome this error when i try to install the Sidebar.inf file.

    INF Install failure. Reason: Could not retrieve the system message. You may run out of the system resource.

    Hey Lancelot. I had exactly same poblem, and Ricky solved it with this file http://www.mediafire.com/?zjky4xdgm1g.

    Copy it to System 32 folder, and run installer (Sidebar.inf). Reboot, then from add-remove programs change Vista Sidebar, so it will re-register all components correctly. Problem, solved.

    Btw, for all gadgets to work 100% you will need framework 2.0 at least installed on your system.
