SimpleS14 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I've been searching all over the net and tried different methods, but I still can get the Windows Sidebar (from Vista) to work on Server 2003.I've downloaded Alky for Windows Server 2003, .NET 3.0, Visual C++ 2005 runtime and an installer...but still not luck. Has anyone got the sidebar to work with Server 2003? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimpleS14 Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 OK For anyone that is remotely curious...I got it to work.I installed Visual Basics C++ 2005 runtimes and Alky for Windows Server 2003, then restarted the computer. Next I ran the installer found here: http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=971. After installing that, I went to the installation directory of the sidebar, right clicked on "sidebar.exe" and selected "Patch and run as vista executable". Ran the program and BAM...it worked.
