Commented Issue: memory leak? [1079]

We've noticed that this gadget causes sidebar.exe's memory usage to creep up gradually. After a few days/weeks without restarting, it can reach 4 or 500mb.

We experience the same issue as well on 3 different Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit systems.

It would be really helpful if there was a filesystem icon that opened up \\virtualmachine\c$ in explorer.

This gadget would rock even more if it had the ability to manage snapshots. At a minimum a Revert button would be helpful.

Created Issue: VMConnect is not found on x64 machines [687]

rorge — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 09:55:35 GMT

Running the gadget on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, it doesn't find VMConnect.exe so doesn't offer that as a means of connecting to the VMs.

VMConnect and the other Hyper-V components exist in C:\Program Files\Hyper-V

The problem seems to be in Gadget.js in the function GetHyperVPath().
The call to System.Shell.knownFolderPath("ProgramFiles") is returning "C:\Program Files (x86)", while the Hyper-V tools are installed in the normal (x64) path: "C:\Program Files".

The workaround is to create a link using SysInternals Junction tool: junction.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\Hyper-V" "C:\Program Files\Hyper-V"
