Re: [DQSD-Users] Windows 7 RC 64 Bit Install Help needed
Well, good news and bad news. The good news is I have it working. The bad news is it can be difficult to remove if the installation screws up in a certain way. See notes below!!! The steps I came up with avoid some Windows 7 security checks without disabling them altogether. I will list the general steps, not every Windows UAC "Confirm this step" message. Note that I use TweakUAC to suppress most of them anyway. 1) Download the dqsdx64-4100-beta.zip package to a location you will remember. :-) 2) Right click the dqsdx64-4100-beta.zip package and select Properties. At the bottom of the dialog there may be a message "Security: This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer" Click the "Unblock" button. Click "Apply" then close the Properties dialog. 3) Repeat Step 2 above and VERIFY THAT THERE IS NO SECURITY MESSAGE 4) Create a temporary folder for easy Command Window access - I used C:\Temp. Unzip the dqsdx64-4100-beta.zip file (keeping folder names) into C:\Temp. 5) Navigate to C:\Temp\DQSDx64. Check a couple of .JS files and verify that the files do not have the "Security" message in their Properties (see step 2). 6) Create a new desktop shortcut - Target: CMD.EXE ; Name "Command Window" 7) CREATE A SYSTEM RESTORE POINT. IF THE INSTALLATION SCREWS UP THE DQSD CLOCK SCRIPT ERROR WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO REMOVE DQSD. THE EASIEST "FIX" IT IS TO DO A SYSTEM RESTORE. 8) Right click the Command Window shortcut created in step 6 and click "Run as Administrator" 9) In the command window navigate to the installation folder "C:\Temp\DQSDx64" (or where the Unzipped files are). 10) Type SETUPX64.CMD - follow the prompts. 11) When install is complete, with no errors (Hope!) you will have to right click the taskbar and select Toolbars twice before Quick Search appears. NOTES: There is no entry in "Programs and Features" to remove/uninstall DQSDx64. I could not find one in the install folder either. Also, once you have turned the toolbar "on" by right clicking the Taskbar>Toolbars any attempt to turn it "off" causes Explorer to restart with DQSD still there. Additionally if the installation has javascript errors in the CLOCK.JS (?) for whatever reason, it is virtually impossible to delete the install folder in order to start over/reinstall, even when booting to SAFE MODE. That is the why the RESTORE POINT above is important. If the install fails - you can restore your system. Should an error crop up in the future, the only thing I can think of off-hand is to boot to a command prompt an delete the installation folder manually. Whew I hope I got all that right!

Re: [DQSD-Users] Windows 7 RC 64 Bit Install Help needed
Another possibility is some sort of standalone application that could be hot-key activated (that's fairly straightforward), and have a small window that could be "parked" down in the lower corner of desktop. But a Vista/Win7 Gadget is probably a more obvious fit, though would impose more limitations on what it could do in terms of popping up additional windows, etc. I'm afraid I'm fully committed to Win7 at this point, even though it has meant no DQSD for me. It wasn't an easy choice, I can tell you. I do have DQSD loaded in my "Windows XP Mode" virtual machine on Win7, but that's not all that helpful when I use applications there in RAIL mode.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Windows 7 RC 64 Bit Install Help needed
I've been concerned about this. I wish I could help with the development. I could live with a gadget as long as Windows+S still brought it to the foreground and gave its edit box focus (maybe even pasted the current selection or clipboard contents in there...). I'd also love the searches with popup windows to continue to work. (Like mwd /popup used to, and the newer, unreleased, df search does.) Ideally, though, I'd like to have its edit box always be present so that I could navigate to it via mouse, too, as it is on the Taskbar in current Windows OSes. I realize that that may be too much to ask for, though. This is the *only* thing that makes me hesitant about Windows 7. That's how important DQSD is. --David On Mon, May 11, 2009 at 12:48 PM, Charlie Russel wrote: > I haven't even tried on Win7.

Hi James, In theory, you should just unpack the zip and run setupx64.cmd from the root directory as administrator. I don't know if there are any specifics related to Windows 7.

[DQSD-Users] Windows 7 RC 64 Bit Install Help needed
Hello, I am trying to install the dqsdx64-4100-beta.zip package on a Windows 7 RC1 64 bit system. I never have used the 64 bit installation kit before. So far I have had no luck but that may be due to my mistakes. Has anyone installed to the Windows 7 RC1 64 bit system before? If so, please provide instructions. Thanks in advance!
