O.P. RE: NET framework 1.1 help
Incase anyone was interested, here is the solution to my problem. I got it from sidebar's forums.
The following instructions should provide a temporary workaround to installing .NET panels if you really have the .NET Framework Redistributable 1.1 but DS doesn't detect it.
1) Save the plugin's dspackage file to your computer.
2) Change the file's extension from dspackage to zip.
3) Extract all the files and folders out of the zip file using your favorite archiving application (Total Commander, WinZIP, WinRAR, WinXP, Win--- ... biggrin.gif).
4) Among the files you extracted there should be an .install file (in some panels it's install.xml). Open it using Notepad.
5) Delete completely the line that reads:
QUOTE
<item condition="$NET11" text="This panel requires .NET Framework v1.1 to be installed." />
6) Save the changes to the .install (or install.xml) file.
7) Re-package all the files you extracted in step 3 using your favorite archiving application.
8) Change the file's extension from zip to dspackage.
9) Double click the dspackage file while Desktop Sidebar is running.
