OK good, make sure to extra the exe file first completely. Then right click on the exe and choose run as administrator. :-) (I want to cover all bases)

Those were the 3 permissions, I added everyone, which is what your utility added to everything - a lifesaver for my week-long struggle to install Adobe CS6 on my system!

Then it must not be a permissions problem.

If we just had some sort of error to work with it would help a ton lol

I wonder what runtime files the sidebar needs, like .net or something.

OK, we sleep on it, see if inspiration will flower in the morning. At any rate I am very tired from conducting a complicated concert yesterday (MozartOrchestra.org) on little sleep. Thanks Shane for your good-will and your devotion!

Sure gmail will be fine to. Does your email have a spam box? maybe it went in there.
