.NET Sidebar Gadget Creator Tutorial 1

Here's the first of what I hope is a few more tutorials. This is pretty much introductory and explains some of the reasons why I decided to research creating a better user experience for Vista Sidebar gadget that use .NET. I show the issue that prompted me to create the application by installing and attempting to uninstall my ScreenSaver Gadget. I then show some of the registry access code one has to write in JavaScript (if you don't use the .NET Sidebar Gadget Creator). This is followed by using the creator application to generate the included sample gadget, installing it and then uninstalling it. I also briefly show the underlying JavaScript code and show that there is no registry access needed at all.

This is my very first ever video tutorial so bear with me. Right click and Save As to view it on your computer.

Thanks. Can this be made to work on Vista x64?

I downloaded the webcam gadget but it didn't work on x64.  A gadget I made with your wizard didn't work either. Am I missing something?
