Last year, I set up a webpage for a Sidekick 98 download. One feedback I had was that on a Notebook, HenryW´s zip did not work but the webpage zip did. Recently, username Monterey has used this forum to say he cannot load Sidekick to his ASUS Notebook.
I have tried HenryW´s zip on my Notebook and noting HenryW´s delay warning, it looks like the zip gets as far as the Welcome Box/ install invite and that´s it: no bar, nothing.
The difference between the webpage zip and HenryW´s zip is that the webpage zip does not have a Welcome Box or Autorun.
HenryW´s zip (which is the same as the CD) can be used by bypassing this Autorun.
On the Welcome Box click on Exit. Windows/File Explorer appears.
Now click open the SIDEKICK folder
Click open DISK1
Click on SET-UP.exe
The install bar appears loading to 100%.
