I thought this would be the solution for me, but I cannot find a 64-bit version of Zune 3.1 software, and the 32-bit version will not install. I guess I’ll put this on another computer, one that runs Windows Media Center.

Thanks for the reply, though!

I’m trying to do this as well; my thought was to run a virtual OS that has the Media Sharing services. The one I had ready access to was 7 Home Premium.

I installed it and can run it just fine, but I do not know how to tell it to use my wireless adapter to access my home network.

Am I barking up the wrong tree here? My hardware is this:

Motherboard: Asrock X58 Extreme 1366 FSB
Processor: Intel Core i7 920 2.66Ghz
Video card: EVGA GTX 260 896MB
OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise x64
Netcard: D-Link DWA-552 Xtreme N adapter
Router: D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N router

and the XBox 360, with a wireless-N card.

Thanks.

You are not running it as administrator. The title bar of the Command Prompt is supposed to have the text ‘Administrator: C:WindowsSysWOW64cmd.exe’.

Try right-clicking the install.cmd file and choosing Run as Administrator from Windows Explorer instead of PowerDesk. If it still doesn’t work, then something more serious is borked. Enable the Administrator account in User Manager; login to it, disable UAC for that account, and run install.cmd there.

Jonus,

thanks very much. I had tried running from Windows Explorer, and running as ‘the’ Administrator account. What I had not done was disable the UAC. That did the trick, and the sidebar is installed. Thanks again.

Why not just take a look at the manual and install the Sidebar without any problems? 😉

Interesting that I seem to be the only person for whom this has not worked. When I run the provided script, I get what is in the attached gif. The script and folder are on the C: drive, and I am running it as Administrator.

At one point I did install the sidebar, by looking at what is in the script and manually taking those steps, and it worked – but the only gadget that worked was the calendar. All other gadgets caused the sidebar to stop working. I tried every combination. Only the calendar, only when alone, would work.

Any thoughts?

Remiel,

I agree that W2K8SrvrR2 doesn’t have a sidebar, of course. Are you saying that you can and have installed gadgets without installing the sidebar?

That would be cool. This site explains how to install the sidebar, then gadgets, here:

http://www.win2008r2workstation.com/win2008r2/sidebar

Anyway, somewhere on this site I found a mention that some of these installation tools need to be run from the drive they are being installed on; I always unzip and install from another drive, so that may be why I’m having difficulty.

Thanks for the reply.

RFT!!!
