ricktendo Posted August 6, 2007 Author Posted August 6, 2007 Readme FAQ1- If you don't use nLite you can install the Sidebar manually. First install Alky for Applications 1.1, now extract Ricks_WindowsSidebar_Intl_Alky*1.1_AddOn.7z to a sub-folder...right click on Sidebar.inf and rest is self explanatory.2- If your language is not on the list don't worry, the default en-US Windows Sidebar will be installed.3- If you Weather Gadet is not working, it says "Service not available" you can use this modified DLL to make it work. Extract it to your Sidebar directory overwriting the old one, then right click on it and choose Patch Vista library...wlsrvc.zip4- If some Gadgets are not showing up in the Gallery its because of the language of your Operating System. Open a CMD window and type LCID and hit enter...if you want your gadgets to show just rename the xx-XX folders to whatever shows up as your LCID (note: en-US will work on any language windows so you can use that too, moving the files out of the xx-XX folders into the main gadget directory works also).5- If the Gadgets will no longer install when you double click them, simply go to Add/Remove Programs, highlight Windows Sidebar and hit the Change button...this will repair Gadget Installer, re-register Sidebar libraries and un-hide any common Gadgets you may have uninstalled.6- Some SP2 users may need to install KB918997 or KB940541 Wireless Lan API if you get the following error:Sorry. This application attempted to delay load or library or function that doesn't exist. Instability may occur.7- Windows Server 2003 users need to copy atl.dll from Windows XP and place it in the main Windows Sidebar directory8- To have more gadgets auto install, uncompress the addon to a subdir, open Gadgets.exe in svcpack folder with WinRAR and drag & drop any extra gadgets you like...repack the addon and integrate.

JurgenDoe Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 (edited) Many Thanks Rick for all the hard work on the AddOn and a special Thanks to Raphael for his hard work :thumbsup_anim: Rick...do I need to uninstall the older version of the Sidebar first ???Don't need to re patch the sidebar...everything is working fine only the Weather channel gadget doesn't shows any temperature :thumb_yello: Wowsy need to remake my VPack.zip with all that new stuff Thanks guys for all that hard work :thumbsup_anim: Edited August 6, 2007 by ricktendo64 merged posts Quote
ricktendo Posted August 6, 2007 Author Posted August 6, 2007 EDIT: Yes preferably. (but you could uninstall VAIO and install Alky for Apps and you should be fine. But you may have to repatch the sidebar)The slideshow, wireless and other bugs should be gone now with the new Alky. Rafael got a good few bugs fixed. Quote
Puntoboy Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 What's the best way to install this over the older VAIO version? Quote
Helmi Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 I just booted up my machine, got this email in my inbox informing me about this, i8mmediately clicked the link and went to this site and WOW, rick, you sooo made my day! Moreso since I was just about to create a new ISO anyway.Perfect timing, innit?! :speak_cool: Quote
ricktendo Posted August 6, 2007 Author Posted August 6, 2007 What's the best way to install this over the older VAIO version?Delete the Windows Sidebar Directory (back up your gadgets), uninstall VAIO then Install Alky and reboot. Install Sidebar AddOn (manual install instructions above) and reboot again.Add your favorite missing backed up gadgets back to the Gadgets or Shared Gadgets folders and done. Quote
happyandyk Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 wow i can see that a lot of hard work has gone into it. congrats and thanx ! Quote
Samkov Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 very nice processing is slowly getting cut down to less n less best thing that coudl ever happen to xp no dout anyways rick keep up the good work thanks to all Quote
Helmi Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 So, I was going to build my ISO now and this error is popping up when selecting this AddOn:Basically, it's complaining about the language mismatch (Eng/Ger).I suspect this is due to the WLAN hotfix, because I was getting the same message when I tried the old AddOn with said fix (using the German version of the fix from MS worked - at least for the error message, don't have any WLAN device I could test on right now).Any chance of ever having this addressed?I suspect the only possibility is to either create a separate pack for each language the hotfix is presented in or remove the fix from the Alky package making it a stand-alone one again (so each user can pick the hotfix, which can be integrated in the ordinary format using nLite, so it does NOT have to be converted into an AddOn first, from MS's site).Going to try with this regardless now, but, as I said, no WLAN device to test on so I can't verify nothing (unless it gives me a BSOD... :confused02: ).

ricktendo Posted August 6, 2007 Author Posted August 6, 2007 Alky for Apps needs the wlanapi.dll file, it uses it for a different function...If you want you can replace the wlanapi.dll from the wlan hotfix in your lang and remove forcelang=English from Entries_Windows_Sidebar.ini thus making it compatible with your language.Use this BuildCheckSum.rar to find the new build checksum and edit this number in Sidebar.inf (use last 5 numbers)HKLM,"%SP3%\KB918997\Filelist\23","BuildCheckSum",0,"1ce1a"HKLM,"%SP3%\KB918997\Filelist\23","BuildDate",0,"Wed Nov 01 03:14:24 2006"HKLM,"%SP3%\KB918997\Filelist\23","FileName",0,"wlanapi.dll" Quote
erock198 Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Installed the app first time I launched it I got the clock really dark and nothing else really. Now when I try to run it the app starts then shuts down immediately.What's up? Quote
ricktendo Posted August 7, 2007 Author Posted August 7, 2007 Go to Add or Remove Programs and use the "Change" button to re-register Windows Sidebar Quote
erock198 Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 (edited) I hit reregister and it said the hotfix was missing so I installed that and rebooted. It is running now.thanks Edited August 7, 2007 by erock198 Quote
