#51 Installs, but doesn't show up under View > Toolbars (Win XP , SP2)

[Anonymous]

Originally created by: rachelje...@hotmail.com

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install to default folder in C:\Program Files\StExBar
2. Explorer windows all closed - have tried reboot, also uninstall and
re-install - still nothing.
3. Looked for registry values mentioned here:
http://tools.tortoisesvn.net/StExBarMore but they didn't exist (Win XP)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see StExBar under View Toolbars; instead it's identical to how
it was before installation. i.e. it looks like nothing has happened.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.6.0.187 on WinXP Pro SP2

Please provide any additional information below.

I'm using System Safety Monitor (but everything has been allowed) --
furthermore it's like the dll isn't being called, a new process called by
explorer would normally trigger SSM but it doesn't (only the installer does
and I allow that - the registry entries are made). If I didn't know I'd
installed it - I wouldn't think anything had changed.

If you create that value manually, does it then show up in explorer?

Forgive my ignorance, but how do I do that?

Windows+R (opens the "run" dialog), enter "regedt32.exe" to start the registry editor.
Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar

Right-click on the folder background on the left, choose "new->string".
In the "new entry" enter "{367D8B32-F9FD-474b-8E65-9E521F35DE99}". The doubleclick on
that new entry, enter "StExBar".

I have similar symptoms after installing under WinXP32 SP2. All the registry entries
are there, but the toolbar does not appear with the standard toolbars in the Windows
Explorer View menu. On the other hand, it appeared as a Taskbar toolbar...?! (see
image). Any idea how to move it?  -thanks

Open Internet Explorer, go to the options dialog.
Under the "programs" tab, click on "Manage add-ons"
make sure that "StExBar" is enabled.

and
Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Discardable\PostSetup\Component
Categories\{00021494-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\Enum

under HKEY_CURRENT_USER (and maybe HKEY_LOCALMACHINE?)

Don't worry, they get recreated automatically, those are used by the shell to cache
extensions, and if that cache isn't rebuilt, changes in shell extensions/toolbars
won't take effect.

Tried that - thanks. But the StExBar toolbar is still in the Taskbar toolbars menu,
and wont move to the Windows Explorer View menu. I guess it prefers that place and
doesn't want to go somewhere else...

did you restart explorer (you might have to logoff/logon)?
Not sure, but I think it won't show new toolbars until it's restarted.

Yes - sorry I forgot to mention it. I also tried a full reboot. Still no success. I
have googled a bit to try to dig up info about the difference between the
Taskbar/Desktop toolbars and the Windows Explorer toolbars, but could not find
anything relevant :(

I know the answer! (maybe)  I had all the same symptoms.  Go to Internet
Options/Advanced/Browsing/Enable third-party browser extensions.

It makes little sense that this would affect all windows explorer windows except the
taskbar, but there you have it.

Thanks Dan!  It had been killing me to figure out why it suddenly stopped working.  It turns out IT nuked 3rd party browser extensions and disabled the option.

Could you add a reference to this to the project home page? Perhaps a note at the top of installation, as "Requirements", that this software will not work unless the user enables Third Party Browser extensions in IE -- so people know to not even trying to install it, if that is something they can't do (for security or technical reasons). Also maybe a note about it in the troubleshooting section where it says to delete those registry browser enum keys?

(It took me a while to discover this issue explaining the problem.)

I enabled Third Party Browser extensions in IE
