Hello Mr. Arik Poznanski. I am realy glad with this article about the Ribbon. I just have one problem: I was using it perfectly with Windows 7 x86 but I have a new laptop with Windows 8 x64 and I cannot even install Windows SDK 8 (or 7) successfully. With those SDK's installed, I have the following directories: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0 C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0A I cannot find UICC.exe (for example) which is needed to compile the RibbonMarkup.xml to RibbonMarkup.ribbon I used a program called RibbonExplorer where I must write the fullpath to the UICC.exe and I cannot find it. Another problem is that the project RibbonGenerator has a Setup that does not load because I have Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 and this version of VS does not have this kind of Setup Deployment. It gives me the error: "Cannot find custom tool 'RibbonGenerator' on this system." Resuming: 1st - How can I install the Windows SDK 8 successfully? Is there any trick? What am I doing wrong? 2nd - Do you have a newer version of RibbonLib for Windows 8 x86/x64? Please help me. Thanks in advance CeliSoft

Hi Arik,
the Ribbon-Library is great but,
I changed the "LabelTitle"-Attribute of some commands in RibbonMarkup.xml
in the vb-Sample-Project "03-MenuDropDown" with no effect.
Any idea what the reason could be?
Thank you

I found the reason myself.
You just have to recompile the xml-File with the "UICC markup compiler" of Win7 SDK
according to following link:

Windows Ribbon for WinForms library is a .NET wrapper around Windows Ribbon Framework.
As such, it has the same limitations as the wrappee.
Windows Ribbon Framework is available only on:
* Windows 7
* Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Platform Update for Windows Vista
* Windows Server 2008 R2
* windows Server 2008 with SP2 and Platform Update for Windows Server 2008
Specifically, Windows XP is not supported.

I'm not sure what you are trying to convert.
I already converted all the C++/COM code required to use the ribbon.
I talked about it in part 2 of the post series.
But you don't need to use the basic COM wrappers, since I've built an entire .NET object model around it to make the development easy.
