Hi,

Working with W2000 SP4; Google Desktop 5.1.0707.23222-en-pb.

Whenever I try to create a gadget I get the "Invalid Gadget Package" message when trying to add to Desktop.

- this happens when I zip up one of the samples in the SDK. I'm *not* using the designer as it only works on XP (so far as I understand - shell32.dll from XP required).

What I'm doing is zipping up the contents of the sample folder (e.g.DragDrop), to create a single zip file - DragDrop.zip, then renaming to DragDrop.gg. I think this should work, but I get the error message.

I've even taken a downloaded (and working) .gg file; unzipped the contents; put them in a new folder; zipped that up; renamed to .gg; and still same error.

Does this look like a problem with my WinZip - using WinZIP 10.0.

Note: any file that generates this error retains an open file handle as I can't delete the .gg file - so it must be during one of the action steps on the .gg file, before installation has been attempted.

Any clues? Anything I can look at?
