"Beta" of AveDesk 2
#143

nice ... the beta looks kinda ruff and there really aren't many changes from 1.3 but it seems to start a little faster and also it seems to use a little less ram. Which is really hard to find in new versions of software.
Anyway it looks like 2.0 would be an even better release. Maybe it needs an installer this time around. New users always ask how to install this and while I don't mind explaining an installer would do a much better job.

I've been having some problems the last couple of days, one of my desklets has no image, the label is visible however. I can fix it by restarting AveDesk or by reloading the images (vista icons in this case). I have a feeling this has something to do with the Vista's superfetch/prefetcher as it only happens when AveDesk is automatically started, when I let Vista boot up fully and then start AveDesk by hand everything is fine. I have no languages folder and the pidshortcut update is installed (the desklets are set to Always-On-Bottom).
P.S. it's not always the same desklet, seems to vary
RESOLVED: I emptied the prefetch folder and everything is hunky dorie again. I wasn't sure if I could just delete the contents of the prefetch folder under Vista but this is no problem.

Hi, I have a serious issue :/
All things worked well, since I've reinstalled OS. Old package is not working, so I've tried to build it up once again - I've downloaded 1.4, unpacked, overwritten with 2.0, Languages deleted, with new PidlShortcut, Translator from those RARs provided. But when trying to launch, I'm getting attached error
(alternatively at http://mirandapack.i...s/atlcomcli.jpg)
What I have installed:
OS Win XP SP2
Visual C/C++ redistributable package 2005 (tried both, original and SP1)
Visual C/C++ redistributable package 2008
Visual Studio 2005 (with C++, C#, J# + SDKs, .NET SDK)
.NET Frameworks 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 (all came with VS2k5)
some more msvcXXX libraries I've found at dll-files
Simply the same composition like before :/
PS: Is the application compiled statically? To not need users to have VC Redist libraries?
PS2: Possibly this is caused by some kind of dependency we don't know about. Could you do something about it?
