Okay, anyone else having problems with cloning the calibrui component in CE
6.0? If I do it using the same method as in CE 5.0, which is to right click
on mingdi and select clone, when I build I get an error when it sysgens
DCOM. The error is:

SysgenMake /NOLOGO oleaut32_custom.dll

Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path.
at System.IO.Path.CheckInvalidPathChars(String path)
at System.IO.Path.GetFileName(String path)
at System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(String path)
at Microsoft.PlatformBuilder.MainClass.ComputeClonedLibs(String
targetLibs, StringDictionary& moduleVars, StringDictionary&
environmentVariables, Boolean res2res)
at Microsoft.PlatformBuilder.MainClass.Main(String[] args)
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'SysgenMake' : return code '0xe0434f4d'
Stop.

We have reproduced this with several projects on several different PCs. If
we remove the cloned calibrui, this builds again.

The module you should be working with is calibrui. Here are detailed
instructions on customizing certain GWES UI components:

Are you saying that you tried those instructions with CE 6.0 and did not run
into the problem that I posted. If you did that would be very interesting.
If so please expound on what you did to get around the problems that I
detailed.

I am glad that you posted and reminded me to follow up on this post. We
opened a case with Microsoft Support. They acknowledged that this is a
known issue with CE 6.0, for which they don't have a solution. This issue
makes it impossible to build when cloning calibrui.
