No gadgets have anything to install

Post by jonnyk2 »

I have been trying to install the dovetail gadget but when i install it it shows 0.00 kb and nothing is available to install from the list? I also tried the point cloud gadget as well. I am running aspire v8.20. Any ideas? Ive tried disabling virus scan, and I have run the aspire update.

I just downloaded and installed the Dovetail gadget from this link: ->Link


It should download as a 211KB file.

Are you running VCarve Pro or VCarve Desktop? The gadgets only work in Pro.

I tried that download and no luck. It still shows up as 0kb when choosing components to install.

You'll need to contact support directly at support@vectric.com I would think as it's not a problem others are having by the look of it.

Nope... I have the same exact problem as well (Aspire 8.0 User here).
The only Gadgets that will install are the pre-installed ones - who work great.

When I try to install a Gadget, it downloads with the correct size, but when the installer runs, the list of objects to install is 'empty', so the install finishes running (installing nothing) and then closes. Nice tease :) but thats all.

Same reply though. You'll need to contact support directly as it's not something us fellow users can really help with.

I'd say it's most likely some sort of permissions problem as the pre-installed gadgets are in a different location to the downloaded one but that's a guess on my part.

I just downloaded successfully from the same link.
Did you run the download and then remember to restart?

Make sure it's in and installs from the correct folder.
Only VCP8 here, but when I upgraded the new gadgets it stuck them in VCP7.5 and I had to go in and drag/drop them into the correct 8 folder.

I just downloaded and installed the dovetail gadget that Randal posted.

I have the latest version of Aspire

I tried it and it works fine

The file size was 212 as Randall posted

I did not have it previously installed.

I installed it directly from the download in the Foxfire download icon area at the top right area of the foxfire menu.

I am also having this issue using VCarve Pro 8.5.
When I try to install the select components to install is blank and the space required is 0.0kb.

Thanks for help in advance.

Registered version or trial version? Gadgets don't work in the trial version. If it's the full registered version you'll need to contact support directly.
