Kk Menu for Stardock Object Dock is now free

Hello, nice application that I was using both under OD and RKLauncher in WinXP and now in Vista32. The only problem appears at launch in RKLauncher that gives an error mentioning that kkmenu.dll already is started (when are several docklet kkmenus set in the dock). The exact error message says that: RK Launcher Error "Class already exists" , and the small window appears for each kkmenu set in the dock. Having only one kkmenu exactly like the Start button with submenus could be a solution, but that is specific for Windows applications. Hope this could help to solve the problem.

I think I figured out the first step with using KkMenu with RocketDock.
These are the steps I followed (Does not necessarily need to be followed to be successful. My method has allowed me to get KkMenu running although I will need a little bit of time to get familiar with building menus and testing it out.)
Again, these are the steps I took and produced a successful install with RocketDock (so far.):
Some initial observations:
It seems good compatibility is near close.. Issues randomly experienced seem to occur upon/after going through the KkMenu's Configuration window during post install setup where rocketdock seems to becomes randomly unstable after returning to the dock.
For instance after my first tinkering session with setting up a menu and closing KkMenu's Config Window, I noticed these issues:
However, once restarted after configuring, the dock seems to stabilize. Also, some of the interaction between KkMenu seems to be optimized for ObjectDock and as such, not as intuitive with these other docks. I have posted in the RocketDock forum to hopefully spark interest in optimizing these two apps toward better compatibility.

Here's a screenshot of KkMenu working with RocketDock in action:

When I have time, I'll test this out with RKLauncher.

Again, these are the steps I took and produced a successful install with RocketDock (so far.):
- During installation I chose "No Tray support" (Reason: I'm going for stability first and foremost, until I get some time in using RocketDock & KkMenu together and/or feedback from PunkSoftware on stability, I'm sticking with the basics.)
- During install, I chose this installation path: (C:Program FilesRocketDock) (Reason: By choosing this path, KkMenu's folders/files, related to the docklet, get installed directly underneath RocketDock's "Docklet" Folder allowing KkMenu to appear as an item selectable later on.) Please see attached screenshot for reference:

Note that additional KkMenu related files (such as the uninstaller) will be added during installation, directly within RocketDock's "Program Files" folder. Those who like tidy installs aren't going to like this. - After a system reboot, rightclick on a blank area of RocketDock, choose "Add Item" and you should see KkMenu as a new entry in the submenu.
- Select KkMenu. (will first appear as a blank space on the dock.)
- Right click the blank area and the configuration windows will appear.
- Configure the dock using the window which appears. (Note: this will be a bit confusing for first-timers. Later, I will try to add more info related to this part.)
Some initial observations:

For instance after my first tinkering session with setting up a menu and closing KkMenu's Config Window, I noticed these issues:
- Getting to RocketDock's "Settings" via rightclicking the dock becomes broken.
- Exiting the dock via rightclick ceases to work (resort to kill the process via the task manager.)
- After getting into RocketDock's Settings via the "Settings" Dock Icon, returning to the dock resulted in 80% of Dock Icons & Background disappearing. Quite an interesting look.
- I no longer see any docklets listed (including KkMenu) in the "add Item" submenu I mentioned above.

I'm running Win 7. I installed kkmenu for RocketDock, but after reboot I have an error saying "Could not register window class: Class do not exist". I can create kkmenu icon, but it wont open menu or show tray icons.
