Some help for your Windows gadgets (8gadgetpack)

I wanted to try the Weather gadget from AddGadgets.com which is included with the others in 8GadgetPack, but I couldn't get it to set a location for reporting. But on the site for http://addgadgets.com there's some troubleshooting advice, and that fixed it.....




In this second screenshot, showing the Admin Command Prompt commands,
that first command for the XML DLL is for "MSXMLthree.dll" and not for "XMthirteen", but they look very similar, so be careful with that one. That lower case "L" looks too much like the number "one", but it isn't.

And fixing this XML problem got my gadget working  just fine, as this next screenshot shows. These DLLs apparently hadn't been registered in Registry, and now they are.



Here's that Weather Gadget enlarged to 150% for a better look at it. There's a lot of information packed in there.....
