Xbox Neighborhood With Xp X64 Edition, getting it to work Options

[Carcharius]

Hi guys,

if anybody has tried setting up the xdk on XP x64 Edition and found that the shell extensions aren't supported then this might be of interest.

This will give you a shortcut to 'Xbox Neighborhood' that works pretty much as it does on 32bit XP.

1. Install the shell extensions as you normally would.

2. Create a new shortcut on your desktop.

3. For the target location enter

CODE

%windir%\syswow64\explorer.exe ::{DB15FEDD-96B8-4DA9-97E0-7E5CCA05CC44}, /separate

4. Give it the name 'Xbox Neighborhood'

5. To setup the correct icon, hit the change icon button and point it at

CODE

%windir%\syswow64\xbshlext.dll

6. Select the icon which has the word 'xbox' readable on it.

7. Click OK and all is done.

Seems to work ok for me so far!

The Xbox Shell extensions are part of the official Xbox Software Development Kit (XDK). Hence it is not on Xbins and no one here can help you on where to get it.

I know its bumping an old thread, but yeay thanks for this.


Now that i look at it, it looks like a simple 'fix', but its a good one.

[fghjj]

Haha ya these kind of topics always drop down in the archives but are really useful when you need them.

Not to resurrect a dead thread, but this is somewhat important I felt

To get the 360 SDK software to work, follow the same instructions but with two small changes. Blatant copy/past as follows (thanks Carch for your instructions, it helped me get this going ):

1. Install the shell extensions as you normally would.

2. Create a new shortcut on your desktop.

3. For the target location enter

CODE

%windir%\syswow64\explorer.exe ::{57B2D0D9-32DD-476a-B663-C85D2EA24AA5}, /separate

4. Give it the name 'Xbox Neighborhood'

5. To setup the correct icon, hit the change icon button and point it at

CODE

%windir%\syswow64\xeshlext.dll

6. Select the icon which has the word 'xbox' readable on it.

7. Click OK and all is done.

Thanks for all the fixes so far. Any chance you know of one for windows 7?

I'm gonna go ahead and bump this one. I seem to have the same incompatibility issues on windows7. Has anyone else who has come across this find a solution?
