Install_Weather.Bat file worked for me (must re-boot).
Autorun (checked) works too.

I realize this fix is for the Weather gadget, but is anyone working on the problem
with the clock? Clock gadget second hand doesn't move unless you mouse-over, then it may jump ahead 2-5 sec ... mouse-off, stops again.

Regarding the Weather problem ...

Seems odd that the Burgundy Theme points to the Program Files\Common Files\Stardock directory for the stardockweather.ocx file.
The two other Themes I use (Think Green and OSU) point to the Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Stardock directory.

brewman, what files are you editing to see where the gadget is pointed?

http://sd.stardock.com/mike/apps/install_weather.bat for 32 bit
http://sd.stardock.com/mike/apps/install_weather_64.bat for 64 bit

i give up. the batch file for 64 bit doesn't work for me, either. i'll stick to the konfabulator weather widget (i refuse to call it a yahoo widget).

I'm running Vista64.

The 64 bit bat file doesn't work .... this bat file registers stardockweather.ocx in the
programs files(x86)\common files\stardock folder. (which already exists and allows my
other weather gadgets to run).

The only way Burgundy will run is if the stardockweather.ocx is registered in the
program files\common files\stardock folder.

I just did what brewman talked about. I made a folder named Stardock in the program files\common and copy and pasted the stardockweather.ocx file into it. It works fine now. Someone just missed this when it was made.

Brewman is correct. The weather loads as per instruction. However, the widget now reports an error reaching Accuweather. Can't win....what's next?

Nothing has worked so far for Gloss Burgundy or Classic Harley.

the widget now reports an error reaching Accuweather

Pppppppfffffffff, the weather gadget is out of order because they should have their system corrupted, and while then they rejected the widget a did (perfectly working ...) because of course their system can't work ...

If someone can download and install the weather widget i did, WWW Link or WWW Link and tell if they're any trouble with changing location, it would be nice ...

Hihihihihi, Stardock can't manage to work it

(and the bad news is they have rejected it because they can't manage to change location

)
