OK good, make sure to extra the exe file first completely. Then right click on the exe and choose run as administrator.
(I want to cover all bases)

OK, check the security of the two folder locations and let me know what they are

Those were the 3 permissions, I added everyone, which is what your utility added to everything - a lifesaver for my week-long struggle to install Adobe CS6 on my system!

Then it must not be a permissions problem.
If we just had some sort of error to work with it would help a ton lol
I wonder what runtime files the sidebar needs, like .net or something.

OK, we sleep on it, see if inspiration will flower in the morning. At any rate I am very tired from conducting a complicated concert yesterday (MozartOrchestra.org) on little sleep. Thanks Shane for your good-will and your devotion!
