Systray is blank - Updated MCP?
Friday, March 25, 2005 by Daveant | Discussion: ObjectDock
I've updated to the most recent Object Dock Plus and now I'm not getting anything in the systray views. The history says something about needing an updated MCP file, but I can't seem to figure out if I have it or how to get it. Is this what the problem is? I've uninstalled and re-installed my entire Object Desktop and Object Dock installs in an attempt to get things to "update" if they aren't but the problem refuses to rectify. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for the help!

I've been having a similar problem but with the Component Tray, I think the latest Stardock Central is at fault, it seems to lose the sdmcp.exe.
Try the following, it worked here:
if you look in X:\Program Files\SDCentral\Temp\SDCommon where X = your installation drive
for sdmcp.exe and copy it to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Stardock

I had to do a complete uninstall/reinstall of SDC, which worked great.

Thanks yraq and BobW! Between the two of you it's working now.
What's interesting is that I tried the complete uninstall/re-install and watched the Common Files/Stardock folder this time through. When started from scratch, SDC actually installed the MCP files in the right place. And then when it did the most recent update to SDC (which required a reboot), those files mysteriously disappeared. When I added them back, Object Dock Systray works.
