After you released 1.0.2 I can not get the new DLL to load. When I try to use regsvr32 I get the error message “LoadLibrary(“C:\Non-Admin\PrivBar.dll”) failed – The specified module could not be found. Any ideas?

Having trouble registering the file

Hi Aaron, Great tool, I have been using the Privbar and MakemeAdmin for a while on my laptop, but just downloaded the brivbar zip at work and tried to register it, and I get the following error that I cannot seem to resolve: Loadlibrary("privbar.dll") failed - The Specified module could not be found I am a local admin on this system. Its very strange

I've updated this - the original version had dependencies on DLLs that ship with Windows XP. The version I posted on Oct. 13 had dependencies on updated DLLs that aren't installed by default. The version I've just uploaded statically links all that stuff, so it should work on your machine! (Sorry for any inconvenience.)

What's the license? May I put it on a CD-ROM for distribution?

Can you build and make available x64 binaries for this? I'm feeling naked without it on my new win64 box. Thanks, --Wez.

An x64 version would be great -- could you send me an x64 computer? :-)

I am having problems compiling this project in Visual Studio 2003, I am geting following errors:

...\PrivBar\KBBarBand.h(76): error C2501: 'CKBBarBand::IInputObjectSitePtr' : missing storage-class or type specifiers

...\PrivBar\KBBarBand.h(76): error C2501: 'CKBBarBand::m_pIOSite' : missing storage-class or type specifiers

I download this source and tryed to compiple it, I haven't made any changes to it.

Make sure you have installed a relatively recent Platform SDK and that its directories are in the include path, etc.

Hello, sorry for my english, i'm french!
I have downloaded the source of this project and i have the same errors that "Rade" has...
I don't know if my SDK is up to date and i don't know qhere i can add the good directories to the projet.

Please could you help me?

You can download the Platform SDK from msdn.microsoft.com/downloads, or get it as part of an MSDN Subscription.

In Visual Studio, choose Tools / Options, then look for VC++ Directories (actual location may vary based on Visual Studio version).

Hope this helps.

Hi Aaron,

We met a couple of times at a few Tech.Ed / IT.Forum events (US and EMEA). Now that IE 7 is officially out, will there be an update of PrivBar available? Otherwise what is the equivalent?

Thanks (contactable on blog > Feedback link) !

Hi, Desmond. I've used PrivBar on Vista without any problems. I haven't tried it on XP+IE7 yet but I'm not aware of any issues. Have you tried it yet?

Desmond Lee — Sat, 28 Oct 2006 02:53:32 GMT

Aaron hello,

System: XP SP2 with IE7 RTM installed. Looks like PrivBar has been auto migrated from IE6 SP2 (on XP SP2) without reinstallation and it seems to function without any problems so far except:

a. it cannot be positioned on the same row as the new IE7 menu toolbar (where the back/forth buttons and the address bar sit). This was possible with IE6 previously. Perhaps it has got to do with the fact that this IE7 "toolbar" is permanently anchored and UNmovable even when the Lock the Toolbar option is disabled (default).

b. the font size of PrivBar seems to shrink or expand depending on the active tabs being selected.

Anything a user can do to fix these 2 annoyances?

Thanks again!

Hello Aaron,

Did you have time to check into my last feedback? Incidentally I did not manage to meet you in IT Forum 2006; were you there?

Thanks & rgds,

Desmond, sorry for the delay -- I didn't have an XP+IE7 system until recently. I think you are correct about the toolbar issue -- the row with the back/forward buttons, address bar, etc., does not appear to be available for adding custom toolbars. Regarding the font size issue, I don't see that happening. Can you provide repro steps?

Wish I could have been at IT Forum this year. Maybe next year? :-)

Specifically what directories need to be included from the platform sdk? I have attempted both privbar and kbbar and get the same errors listed above. I have added several directories from src and include to the project and it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Vaelek: You should install the Platform SDK using its installer, installing it to an appropriate system-wide location (the default is for it to go under %ProgramFiles%). If I remember correctly, if you have Visual Studio installed already, it will offer to add its directories to VS' settings. If not, in Visual Studio 2005, choose Tools / Options, navigate to Projects and Solutions \ VC++ Directories. For each of the items in the "Show directories for" dropdown (particularly for the "Include" and "Libraries" folders), ensure that the appropriate Platform SDK folder is listed first. For Visual Studio .NET 2003, the same thing is in Tools / Options, navigate to Projects, VC++ Directories.

HTH

same issues as Vaelek, despite downloading Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2, and including the Include and all subdirectories in Visual C++ Express 2005. I also explicitly added an extra:

#include <comdef.h>

as per KBBAR postings.

Did you try to compile the bar using Visual C++ Express 2005?

Hi Aaron

I am in the phase of converting my source code from vc++6.0 to vc++8.0. I am using IInputObjectSitePtr(same as KBBar) and when I compile it is throwing me the error. I am using Vista Business edition and I have updated latest SDK and included it in the directories. Please do advice.

Keep this file in stdafx.h

#include <comdef.h>

And also make sure you have installed SDK and specify the path of SDK include Folder (Given Below)

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0\Include

in Visual Studio 2008, choose Tools / Options, navigate to Projects and Solutions \ VC++ Directories .

Thats All.
