| | Some how it seems my destination.msi file is missing and Windows Installer tires to install it at boot up, however, can't locate it based on some default path where it thinks it should be... I have not been able to locate a lot of posts on this topic, however, ran accross this: Open a command prompt by being Administrator (Right click on Command Prompt and click Run as Administrator)
CD to C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar ( cd drive letter:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar )
3. Run these commands in this order:
1. regsvr32 -u sbdrop.dll
2. regsvr32 -u wlsrvc.dll
3. regsvr32 atl.dll
4. regsvr32 sbdrop.dll
5. regsvr32 wlsrvc.dll
Anybody know what this is doing? is it safe and does it resolve the issue? Any comments, help, suggested solutions would be appreciated....  |

| It is safe, and whether or not it resolves this issue can only be found out by trying it.
So start up command prompt as administrator (type cmd in start menu, then press shift+enter)
Type "cd c:\program files\windows sidebar\" without quotes.
Then type the commands:
regsvr32 /u sbdrop.dll
regsvr32 /u wlsrvc.dll
regsvr32 atl.dll
regsvr32 sbdrop.dll
regsvr32 wlsrvc.dll
Pressing enter each time. The middle command (regsvr32 atl.dll) might not work, if it doesn't just move onto the next one.

| No, cd is actually a command. cd stands for 'change directory'. It changes the root of where your commands are acting from. Usually you may see C:/users/username/> in command prompt. cd will change this, so in this case it will go to C:/program files/windows sidebar/> so that it can then locate the the dll which your are re registering.
