DQSD 4.1 64-bit Beta Releases to Web!
Old timers here will know that I simply love Dave's Quick Search Deskbar (DQSD). And that there was a semi-custom solution to running it in 64-bit that I used. Well, with a lot of hard work and persistence, we now have 64-bit support built into the mainstream of DQSD. Whenever we build a new version, we'll be building a 64bit version side by side. YIPPEE!
The installer is still a batch file that has my hands all over it, though with a lot of excellent suggestions from Kim Gräsman, it is cleaner and a bit smarter. But it works, and appears to be smart enough for general use. So please - go download it and check it out. It's one of those little things that the more you use it, the more useful it becomes, and at some point you'll wonder how you lived without it. For example, I wouldn't be able to read my newspaper funnies any more without it (since the local paper has only a dismal selection). But now, with the comx search? I get the latest version whenever I need it. :D

Update: Thanks to Carlos, on the microsoft.public.windows.64bit.general newsgroup, we've identified a bug in the batch file installer. Please extract the files to a temporary folder on your system drive (C:\ normally) and run the install from there. The fix for this will be in the next beta drop - it's already committed. And yes, a really dumb error on my part, if you're wondering.
