New Spotlight clone

[TomLapp420]

The fixed file has been posted, please check the first post to download. Simply overwrite the old exe with the new one and run, it should work now. There was no way in h*ll it would have worked on anyone else's computer before because no matter what, it was using the security code from MY computer!!!

It's always the simple little stuff that gets me

[TomLapp420]

this one opens the files that you click, but for some reason the windows picture and fax viewer is not playing nice with it. Sometimes I think all microsoft programs are built in with a "Mac" detector that messes things up if you run any cloned programs!!!

[donniedarko]

still don't have any dialog box

;'(

[TomLapp420]

Donniedarko, open you registry (regedit.exe)

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareSpotlight

under that group, could you please list all of the attributes that are listed there so I can analyze it

[donniedarko]

oki

i'll do it

maybe it's because the first time i've run spolight.exe there was a missing file.

[TomLapp420]

ok donnie, try to delete the spotlight folder in the registry alltogether and re-run the app

[Larsen2k4]

If I see right, you don't have the key inside your settings...

I also checked it out... but it's there and it also doesn't work.

[TomLapp420]

as far as getting the security code on systems other than english, I don't think it will make a difference.. but we'll see

Also if this program starts working for anyone, could you post your sucess here so I know I am making some kind of progress, thanks

[donniedarko]

nop

always the same result

[TomLapp420]

you do have the google desktop search installed, correct?

[donniedarko]

yes of course

i'm using it for a month now

[TomLapp420]

Larsen2k4!!!

What language are you running on your system?

[Larsen2k4]

I've tried both versions allready (german, english) ... but no success. But I've noticed something (I don't know if this matters, but I just wanted to say it).

In the settings-windows, there's always a space between the last charakter of the code and the questionmark (see image)... has this something to do with the program?

Greetings

//EDIT:

My system is german like me, Tom

[TomLapp420]

yeah, that's fine. That's just to kinda show you where the security code is located.

Is there anyone on here that has had a sucess with the program, if so please let me know so I can narrow down these bugs

[Larsen2k4]

btw: why do you ask for my system-language? is the tool depending on it?

[TomLapp420]

not that I know of, but I just wanted to make sure

[TomLapp420]

WAIT A MINUTE!!!!

Can anyone tell me the ip address that is listed in the url of the google desktop search results window. I think that's the problem!!!

[donniedarko]

http://127.0.0.1:4664

[Larsen2k4]

http://127.0.0.1:4664

I also have this ip listed as standard.

[TomLapp420]

yeah, that's what I have, this is killing me because it works perfectly on my computer. And nobody else responded so I have to assume that not even one person has had success with this program.

I initially did have a problem with the google desktop search telling my program that it was an unsupported browser, but it gave me the option to continue anyway. I inserted code to emulate the user clicking "ok, use my browser anyway" but something is still not lining up

[TomLapp420]

I wish some of the other 5 people that downloaded this would post about theirs, so I had more to work with

[donniedarko]

can u post a screenshot

to see

And what would be, if you remove the code for the emulation and let the users click OK ? ... Just for a test..?!

Just an idea

I've had no luck... that said, when i go to preferences, my security ID is always XXXX

it overlaps the end of the text box by one digit, though. Also, I feel uneasy without any "Apply" button or nothing. Why not just keep it simple and use a normal text box with normal apply button?
