View a PDF from inside IE
I've got a customer asking if it's possible to view PDFs inside IE like on
the desktop. I did a quick 4.1 build and it appears you have to download it
and then view the local copy, but I just wanted to get confirmation. Does
anyone know if the PDF viewer can be used inside either IE or PIE on 4.1 or
4.2? I can try each, but I'm hoping just asking will be quicker.

Propagate the auto Device Name from bootloader into OS settings
Microsoft.public.windowsce.embedded or
Microsoft.public.windowsce.platbuilder
Hi,
I am developing for a headless device with Windows CE.NET 4.1.
The idea is to read the Boot parameters network name that is
automatically built in bootloader, and rewrite in the registry the
machine name just after the initialization of the registry.
The OAL will take BootParams.WinceBootArgs.szDeviceNameRoot and change
the registry value [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Ident, Name] with
BootParams.WinceBootArgs.szDeviceNameRoot in IOCTL_HAL_INITREGISTRY in
OEMIOControl().
But always I am having exception in NK.exe (access violation) !!!
In OEMInit() when I print with DEBUGMSG() the
pBootArgs->szDeviceNameRoot it is not containing the same value that
was built in the bootloader by CreateDeviceName() Why?
Is there any other way to let me propagate the Device Name (and some
network parameters (IP, ..)...) Which are built in Bootloader to the
OS setting?
Any samples, any link, ...is very appreciate.
Thank you very much for you help. Tag: Puting Margion on Desktop Question? Tag: 38913

Good old SA1110 PCMCIA and CE 4.2 :)
Hi,
I'm having trouble with the PCMCIA driver for CE 4.2. When I warm/cold boot
my device with a CISCO 350 series pcmcia card inserted
the driver crashes (device.exe) and will not load any PCMCIA cards
hereafter. However, if I have some other PCMCIA card inserted upon a
warm/boot, e.g. a wired ne2000 compatible card, the driver loads without any
problems. If I then unplug the wired card and insert a CISCO card the driver
also loads fine. It seems there are some delay problems in loading the cisco
driver upon startup. In CE 4.1 I had no problems (using SA1110 BSP with the
same drivers as in 4.2).
Below is some debug information:
0x8df93000: PCMCIA: DEBUGCHK failed in file
d:\mckendric\public\common\oak\drivers\pcmcia\mdd\load.c at line 763
0x8df93000: DEBUG_BREAK @0306c144 MD=1f Ignored.
0x8df93000: PCMCIA PDCardSetSocket
0x8df93000: PCMCIA PDCardSetSocket Powersettings
0x8df93000: SetSOCK Powering Socket 1
....
..
.
I looked up the line in load.c and found a
DEBUGCHK(pPsock->hLoad == NULL);
Does anyone know what the problem is here?
Best regards,

right shifted TFT display with CE4.2
hello,
I connected a CRT and a panel VGA TFT display to an eValue ECM 3412 board.
After some troubles I got a valid "picture" in the correct size on both
devices.
Now my problem is, that the picture on the TFT display is shifted to the
right by approximately 2 cm.
I tried a lot of different resolutions, and setups (even TV horizontal
shift) but I found no way to correct this.
With CE 4.1 the display worked correctly.
I would be very grateful for any ideas because mine ran out. :-(

TFAT Questions
TFAT Questions:
System Description: We are using WinCE 4.2 on an Intel x86 platform
with either a hard disk or Compact Flash (CF). We utilize the WinCE
DOS Boot-Loader to boot WinCE. We us a hive-based registry which
persists on the hard disk along with the nk.bin file and several other
system configuration files and web pages.
Currently the system boots on a DOS FAT16 formatted partition. We
want to enable the WinCE 4.2 TFAT feature to provide maximum system
reliability.
1) Should we format the primary disk partition as TFAT for maximum
reliability? Can WinCE even boot from a pure TFAT formatted
partition? Or alternatively, should we use a regular FAT16 partition
with the registry configured to create a second FAT table, and then
treat the partition as if it were TFAT?
If the bootable partition can be formatted as TFAT, we have the
following questions regarding preparing the hard disk (or CF) image.
All WinCE documentation regarding preparing a hard disk and loading
the DOS Boot-Loader refer to using DOS utilities.
A)How can we create the pure TFAT16 formatted partition? Do we
first have to load WinCE and use its format utility, or is there a
TFAT format utility for DOS?
B)Will the CeSys.exe utility recognize a TFAT partition, and
correctly load the disk boot sector so the system will correctly find
the DOS Boot-Loader.
C)Can a TFAT formatted disk be duplicated using standard disk
imaging tools such as Symantec Ghost or Power Quest Drive Image?
These tools are commonly used in the PC world. If these tools will
not work with TFAT, can you recommend other tools that will replicate
a TFAT partition?
If the bootable partition CANNOT be formatted as TFAT, then there are
the following questions:
D)TFAT will not transact files in the hard disk root directory.
This is typically where we put our nk.bin file. Should this file, and
all other root directory files, be relocated under the special
"__TFAT_HIDDEN_ROOT_DIR__" directory so as to provide maximum system
reliability? Or is this not necessary?
2) Once a CF disk has been used as a TFAT partition under WinCE, is
there any way to delete files on the CF disk when accessing it through
a CF card reading on a desktop workstation? It would be nice to have
utilities to modify TFAT disks when accessed by a standard XP desktop
system. It is a common development practice here to take a CF disk,
then modify, delete, or copy files on it from a desktop workstation,
then put the CF disk back into the WinCE machine and run it from
there. Using a TFAT formatted CF disk puts a wrinkle in this
practice, as the desktop OS (XP) does not natively handle TFAT. Any
suggestions for ways to correctly access a TFAT formatted CF disk from
a XP workstations?
Thanks for Any positive information! Tag: Puting Margion on Desktop Question? Tag: 38866
Where are my drivers
I'm building a BSP. BP-4.2.
I've been using the BSP Wizard and things are going ok. I save my work and
now when I come back I see only a portion of the drivers that I've entered.
In particular I have an audio driver and dma driver shown. I see only these
2 drivers in the CATALOG window of PB and when I use the BSP Wizard and
select that I want to add drivers to a BSP it shows me only those same 2
drivers.
YET, in the CEC file that I've created with the Wizard ( and have not
fiddled around with it by hand) I have many more driver entries.
What's going on ?

PB 4.2 ignoring BOOTME requests
So I've finally got my bootloader sending bootme broadcasts over the network
(tested with a packet sniffer and contents look sane) but PB 4.2 just says
"Waiting for BOOTME" . The device name appears in the list of Available
Devices for download, but PB seems to be ignoring the bootme requests. The
network setup is reasonably simple - the dev board and the second network
card in my PC are connected via a hub. Is there any extra logging
information that might help me locate the source of this problem?
Many Thanks,

NDIS EnterCriticalSection DEBUGCHK in CE 4.2 - HELP!
Hey guys. I've been dealing with this problem for a while now, hoping that
it would somehow get fixed. Unfortunately, it's still a problem for me, and
it's getting more annoying and more troublesome as time goes on.
Here's my original post on the subject:
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off&threadm
=3f030f26%241%40news.microsoft.com&rnum=8&prev=/groups%3Fq%3DMurawski%2Bgrou

ft.com%26rnum%3D8
Here's a post from Steve Maillet where he lists it as bug #7 in his list of
known CE 4.xx bugs:
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=Maillet+group:microsoft.public.windowsce.p
latbuilder&start=90&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off&scoring=d&selm=eB72
YpWQDHA.2316%40TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl&rnum=97
Basically, what's happening is this. When I have a PCMCIA card in my device
at cold boot, NDIS occasionally hits a DEBUGCHK in the kernel when trying to
enter a critical section that has never been initialized. Since I don't
have access to NDIS code, I can't really tell what's going on, but the call
stack looks like this:
<stack dump>
COREDLL!EnterCriticalSection(CRITICAL_SECTION * 0x01fd98c0
PcmciaMemListLock) line 90 + 76 bytes
NDIS!mapAllWindowsForHSock(_CARD_SOCKET_HANDLE {...}, int 0x00000001, int
(_NDIS_PCMCIA_WINDOW *)* 0x03d6a954 npwMapToDevice(_NDIS_PCMCIA_WINDOW *))
line 478
NDIS!PcmciaCallBack(unsigned int 0x00000040, _CARD_SOCKET_HANDLE {...},
_CARD_EVENT_PARMS * 0x080afdf0) line 620
PCMCIA!CallClient(unsigned int (unsigned int, _CARD_SOCKET_HANDLE,
_CARD_EVENT_PARMS *)* 0x00000000, unsigned int 0x01fa8aa0,
_CARD_SOCKET_HANDLE {...}, _CARD_EVENT_PARMS * 0x00000000, _CLIENT_DRIVER *
0x2dfa5fda) line 600 + 24 bytes
PCMCIA!CallbackThread(unsigned int 0x00000000) line 910 + 56 bytes
COREDLL!ThreadBaseFunc(void * 0x03a6aecc CallbackThread(unsigned int),
unsigned long 0x00000000) line 418 + 16 bytes
</stack dump>
Unfortunately, this problem is probably much more serious for me than it is
for most CE platforms. Our device ALWAYS has a PCMCIA card in it, and it
goes through a cold boot quite often. I seem to hit this problem almost
every time my platform boots. To make things worse, about 50% of the time
when it happens, and I try to run past the DEBUGCHK, I hit another critical
access violation in NDIS. (I guess there's a critical section somewhere for
a reason!)
Does anyone have any new information on this problem? Any suggestions on
what I should do? I've been dreading trying to call Microsoft about it
directly. I haven't had much luck trying to describe problems of anything
beyond trivial technical complexity with the first one or two levels of
technical support. Should I suck it up and put in a call on this one?
Thanks in advance guys.

Batch build makeimg wince300
Hello,
I am trying to configure a command line build for our project under WinCE
3.0. I want to be able to make an image of my platform (from the build
directory) without having Platform Builder installed. We want this
particular configuration, so that the application programmer in our firm
will be able to build new images without having to install PB (since they
won't use it anyway).
To realize it, I copied the build directory of my project (which have the
files generated after the the buildrel phase) and I've created a bat file
which contains set all the necessary variables and path. I also copied the
C:\WINCE300\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\BIN\I386 (to be able to use makeimg.exe and
the programs needed to create the image).
To use this package, I copy all the files in c:\wince300Img and then I run
my batch file to set the variable and then I called makeimg to build the
image.
I test it and it works great on a computer with PB 3.0 already installed,
but It doesn't work on my test machines which don't have PB installed (which
is my goal!)
On my test machines, the makeimage build stop always after the InitRegistry
phase, and before it copies nknodebug.exe to nk.exe (I know that before I
compared it with a "working" make image).
Here's a snapshot:
(...)
InitRegistry Finished (875 lines).
MAKEIMG: localization SKIPPED since COUNTRY is unchanged
Windows CE ROM Image Builder v3.0 Copyright (c) 1995-2000 Microsoft
Corporation
Failed romimage c:\WINCE300Img\rev_5_16\release\ce.bib
Failed romimage c:\WINCE300Img\rev_5_16\release\ce.bib
I really don't understand what I am doing wrong. I must be forgetting a
setting somewhere. I checked and re-checked all the system variables
between my test machines and my machine with PB and everything is the same.
I also try to copy the PB directory (and adding it to my path and CEPBDir
variable) to one of my test machine to check if maybe a file was needed
there... but I also had no luck.
Here's the list of the system variable that I am setting in my batch file.

This solution already work for the wince212 version of our project, the
batch file was greatly inspired from there (maybe this is the problem...)
If someone has any clue, I would apreciate it!

Multicast problem (high Packet loss)
I am using windows CE 4.2. I am testing Streaming Media using Windows Media
Player which is Multicasted from a media server. I am testing on 2 types of
X86 targets, one was build by our hardware engineer (lets say embedded
bord)and other was VIA make. Both had exactly same components. When i am
testing (playing) a multicast media on embedded board there is a packet loss
of 20% with in the same network. But when i am testing on VIA board which is
also on the same network these is a packet loss of 70%.( a bit surprising).
In the case of TCP (unicast) both are working fine.
I know it is not good to ask you all, What is the exact problem. But i need
all of your suggesions in regard, where can be the problem.
IS it the software problem? OS is same, all the drivers are same and of the
same version. The only difference is on the target board i am using VIA CEPC
and on the VIA board i am using MS CEPC.
IS it the hardware problem? Both have the same Ethernet and more over in the
case of Unicast (TCP) they r working fine.
Is it the problem related to buffers? is there any way to increase the
datagram buffers in CE 4.2. If i am developing my own application to play
the media i can increase using some APIs. But i need a genaric one.
Can all of you please give ur sugg. in regarding this problem. Tag: Puting Margion on Desktop Question? Tag: 38803
Future of Data Access on Windows CE?
Hi all,
I have been reviewing articles on this newsgroup with regard to the
use of ADOCE and CE.NET platform.
The result of this review is that Microsoft recommends that for future
development that ADO.NET be used for data access.
I find this position problematic for headless devices.
Currently, we use ADOCE to access an OLEDB driver for a third party
from ASP pages on a headless device.
Microsoft's stand is that we should move to ADO.NET.
There are two problems with this for our targeted system.
1) ADO.NET requires the .NET Compact Framework and this is only
available on devices with display.
2) The addition of the .NET Compact Framework to the OS takes valuable
resources when it is really not needed for anything else.
I understand that Microsoft have a strategy for rolling out .NET
Framework and incorporating Windows CE into this framework, but I
think that they may have dropped the ball on this one.
When embedded devices are being developed there are many tradeoffs
made between cost and functionality - this is true whether the device
has a display or not. But being forced to add the .NET Compact
Framework because we wish to have database access from the Web Server
(for example), seems a bit heavy handed IMHO. It also (currently)
mandates a device with a display.
I think that some thought needs to be put into the realm of headless
devices and the functionality that they require.
What do others think?
Maybe we can get Microsoft to re-assess this situation for the future.
Regards,
Brian Tag: Puting Margion on Desktop Question? Tag: 38801
migrate from 3.0 to 4.2
Now that I have finished work on wince 3.00 and is working on our platform
and is stable :0)....We are moving to wince.net 4.2.
Our BSP is based on the intel_sa1110_assabet. From what I have read
The Intel SA1100/SA1111 (Assabet) Development Kit is no longer available for
purchase. Therefore, the BSP for this hardware platform is not included in
Platform Builder 4.2 and is no longer supported. If your development
platform requires the Intel SA1100/SA1111 (Assabet) Development Kit and the
platform directory for testing or other purposes, you can use the BSP for
the Intel XScale DBPXA250 Development Platform, which has been enabled to
support ARMV4 builds, or you can use another suitable BSP from a third-party
vendor. However, Platform Builder 4.2 still supports the Intel SA1100/SA1111
(Assabet) Development Kit CSP drivers for the integrated peripherals on the
SA1100 CPU or the SA1111 CPU companion chip. Refer to
%_WINCEROOT%\Public\Common\Oak\CSP for these drivers.
I'm confused, as far as I understand from the above once I have installed
wince 4.2 (I am doing this tomorrow) I can install the ARMV4I option (I'm
not installing ARMv4) I can build code for the SA1110 StrongArm.
Can I copy the Intel_sa1110_assabet BSP from wince 3.00 and build an image
to run on the assabet, it would be useful and would provide immediate
feedback.
Or will I have to take the Intel Xscale DBPXA250 and integrate/cobble in our
drivers, oal, bootloader etc..
I don'y have a feel for how much work is involved, is it weeks or months....
Any advice would be appreciated

SIP disable
Hi,
On our platform, the user will typically have a keyboard. Usually, this
keyboard is a full ASCII and numeric unit, so there's no need for a SIP.
However, there are situations where a user might have only a numeric
keyboard and want the SIP for rare alpha input (an operator's name, maybe,
entered once per day).
So, I don't want the SIP popping up, by default, any time an EDIT field is
selected, but I don't want to completely remove SIP support. My initial
strategy for this was to implement my own SIP, which would be the default.
This default SIP would do nothing (no window popup, no resizing of dialogs,
etc.) When this SIP was selected, then, it would be very much like having
no SIP at all in the system (design goal #1 met). However, the user (or the
user's application), could change the active SIP, if it wanted SIP input,
and could then easily pop the SIP up or down at the right times (design goal
#2 met).
However, it turns out that none of the logical ways I tried to implement
this SIP will cause this to happen. I've tried having the SIP return E_FAIL
from its Select() method. This causes the SIP not to have a UI, but also
seems to disable the other SIPs from doing anything. I've tried returning
error codes from other methods, also. I've tried having the Showing()
method call various of the APIs available to the SIP, asking that it be
closed, but this doesn't work correctly (the frame window around the SIP is
still displayed, although it has no client content). I've also done this
for the Select() and other methods.
Since I don't have source for the SOFTKB component, I'm out of ideas as to
how to achieve my goals. Does anyone know of a DeviceIoControl() for the
SOFTKB driver, other API function, a registry entry, or insider's trick that
will allow me to either prevent the SIP from appearing, or cause it to
immediately pop back down without disabling SIP input completely?

File system root on hard disk
I have a cepc nk.bin built with the RAM and ROM file
system and hive based registry storage on the Hard Disk
that works great.
I now want the root of the object store to be mounted to
the hard disk so programs, shortcuts, etc. will be
preserved though reboots.
To do this I replaced the RAM/ROM file system with the
ROM only file system from the catalog. I also changed the
mountflags for HDProfile\FATFS to the following:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\HDProfi
le\FATFS]
"EnableCacheWarm"=dword:0
"MountFlags"=dword:E
I created the windows directory on my hard disk and
copied all of the items from the release directory that
appeared in the FILES section of my ce.bib.
This boots successfully and runs with the following
issues:
The control panel is empty.
File explorer is missing icons for some of its buttons.
The start menu is empty past the first tier.
Is there a section of files that I am failing to copy
over, or a step that I am missing? Many of the shortcuts
that are missing appear in initobj.dat is there something
that needs to be done to that file?
Is this the best way to go about this issue? I like the
neatness of copying one file to upgrade the system
instead of all the files listed in the files section like
the RAM build, however cold boot retention is a must have. Tag: Puting Margion on Desktop Question? Tag: 38777
how to build a stand alone CEPC? - booted from Hard Disk?
I followed the "How to ..." to build a CEPC booted from
hard disk. Everything runs OK except the last step -
Remove the boot floppy disk from the CEPC, restart the
CEPC, and then verify that the OS image boots on the
CEPC.
The CEPC hanging there - 1 cursor blinks at the top left
corner - forever!
If I disable KITL and rebuilt after the change. I can
find the nk.bin in RelDir\CEPC_X86Release.
BUT, after download, no Release directory in CEPC. So I
do not know where the nk.bin located and how to copy it
to the hard disk? Tag: Puting Margion on Desktop Question? Tag: 38770

NIC lost after reboot.
I have implemented a hard reboot function like this in a
aplication
SetCleanRebootFlag();
KernelIoControl(IOCTL_HAL_REBOOT, NULL, 0, NULL, 0, NULL);
This seems to reboot the CEPC fine, exept that the two
network cards are not initialised. If I reboot by
switching off and on everyting is ok.
I use the CEPC with hive based registy on a x86 with IDE
hard drive. The NIC uses the RTL8139 driver. Tag: Puting Margion on Desktop Question? Tag: 38756
Urgent - RDP protocol error in CE 4.1
Dear Greats,
Already i posted one mail regarding the same below problem.
We are using Windows CE Platform builder 4.1 with RDP builded. We are
having ThinClient configuration. We leave the RDP connection for more
than 9 minutes. Then the RDP session disconnects saying the Session is
disconnected due to some protocol error.
We have checked that any server side configuration is wrong. With the
same server CE 4.0 client is working with our any problem.
If their not inputs from Client side to Server side, session is
getting closed. This is a big problem.
I think, If their is not inputs (Keyboard / Mouse ) from client to
server, that client side socket are some thing is getting closed.
Is this a bug. can any one help me. This is very urgent.
With regards,

whether the wince surpport hard disk
hi,
I am using the pxa255 to develop my platform.Because I want to use the
hard disk or CD-Rom as the input peripheral equipment, I am going to add a
IDE controller to my hard platform, but I am wondering if the wince4.1
support the file format of hard disk or CD-Rom? If wince4.1 supports the
function, how should I write the IDE controller driver,I mean what is the
interface of the IDE driver MDD layer and PDD layer ,and if the file system
of wince4.1 should be modify to adapt my requirment? Where can I find the
driver example of wince4.1?

driver for data acqusition board on PCI bus works in debug kernel, but not in retail kernel
Hi, I have successfully wrote and built a stream interface driver that
interface with my data acq. board on the PCI of a CEPC. I have been doing
all the work in debug version (the driver (dll) and the test program, and
the OS). I was able to get everything working. Then I rebuilt the driver in
retail mode. And I also built the release version of the kernel. Then when I
run my test program, which subsequently tries to open my device using:
CreateFile(TEXT("DAC1:"), GENERIC_READ|GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL);
It failed. It gives me error code 55. I have attached the system monitor
tool from eMVC, and I can see that DAC1 is one of the device on the system.
I also put in debug messages in the DAC_Init() of my dll, and I can see that
it gets called properly, and does all the IO and memory mapping properly.
However, it seems like the problem is with CreateFile(), and somehow it
thinks that the device does not exist on the system.
Any help would be appreciated. Oh, btw, I'm relying on the PCIbus driver to
load my board. It worked perfectly in the debug version. Just when I switch
to retail version, it fails.

Problem mapping physical address (0xC0000000) on Arm Integrator
hi,
I posted this message before (through google) but it's seem like it's
appears only on google I can't see it using my newsreader so I repost it
again
here it's go :
I have a device with memory registers in physical address 0xc0000000,
for which I am porting a driver from Linux to CE 4.2 using PB. The
device is connected to the logic module stack on an Arm Integrator
board running ARM920T CPU.
I have tried mapping this memory into virtual address using the
following:
....
addr = 0xc0000000;
PHYSICAL_ADDRESS mapped, port = {addr, 0};
ULONG inIoSpace = 0;
PUCHAR ioPortBase;
if (!TransBusAddrToVirtual(Internal, 0, port, size, &inIoSpace,
&mapped))
printf("Error translating I/O Ports.\r\n");
...
Debugging into TransBusAddrToVirtual showed that the debugger was
disconnected inside the call for VitualCopy (in MmMapIoSpace).
The Linux driver maps (by ioremap) and uses this address successfully.
Does anyone know what could be causing this problem?
I tried also to statically map this address by modifying
OEMAddressTable (after finding out that CreateStaticMapping function
isn't implemented on Arm), but couldn't access VA_TEST.
...
VA_TEST EQU 0xa5000000 ;first availble after VA_SC_BASE
EXPORT OEMAddressTable[DATA]
OEMAddressTable
...
DCD VA_TEST, 0xc0000000, 1
...
;
; End of Table (MUST BE ZERO!)
;
DCD 0, 0, 0
AFAIK, there is no need for static mapping, using
TransBusAddrToVirtual should do the job for any user-mode driver.
Any help will be appreciated,

Unexpected GPEBltparms
I'll throw this out to see if anyone has comments. The two
arrows use for forwards and backwards in the windows
explorer generate 1bpp-source blts on my 16-bpp video
driver.
What tripped me up was that they generate a rop4 of 0xb8b8
which is PSDPxax but the brush pointer is NULL. I was
thinking that checking the brush pointer for NULL would
limit me to the rop4 codes that don't involve a brush, but
evidently not.
What is the assumed brush if one is not given as part of
the GPEBltParms structure ? Tag: Puting Margion on Desktop Question? Tag: 38705

I can now build the same dll using Sources file. I can't figure out how to
add /SECTION:shared,rws to my sources files, this is absoulutly necessary

I have tried adding the following to the sources but it doesn't have the

CDEFINES= $(CDEFINES) /DBCRHANDLER_EXPORTS SECTION:shared,rws

DLL build problem
hi all,
I'm trying to make a DLL having a couple of methods and
returning an integer value to my caller application. It
should work in my Win CE.NET 4.2 device under ASP web
pages.
I haven't been able to make this work. Thus need help.
First I used eVC++ 4.0 to create the DLL and downloaded
it to my device, after which the LAN drivers mystically
disappeared from my device and I was not able to test the
ASP site. Additionally, the device hung after a few
seconds.
I also tried to reconstrct the DLL project in Platform
Builder 4.2 by inserting a new empty DLL project and
recreating the same files that I used in my eVC++
project. This however gave and error message like
...
oleidl.idl
Error PB2505: Error executing midl.exe.
and I have no idea of how to fix this. It must have
something to do with the .idl file, but dunno what.
Please help me with one of my problems.

SOURCES
Hi
I am building a retail build, but it would be useful if I could modify the
SOURCES file for one of the components to force it to build a debug version
of itself.
Is there any way I can do this. I have tried using the following CDEFINES=
$(CDEFINES) -D_DEBUG in the sources file but it still builds a retail
version of the dll.
Any advice would be appreciated

SYSGEN_STOREMGR disappearing from environment
This problem happens with both CE 4.1 and CE 4.2
We have a platform (based on Residential Gateway) that includes the Storage
Manager component. When the project is first created it builds fine. At
some point after the projects builds a few times the build will break being
unable to find FSDMGR.LIB. This FSDMGR.LIB component requires the
SYSGEN_STOREMGR environment variable to be defined. When I open a build
command prompt and do a SET SYSGEN_ the STOREMGR is no long part of the
defined environment. Yet, if I look at the project window the Storage
Manager is listed as being included in the project. Sometimes I can just
delete the Storage Manager from the project and drag it back over from the
catalog, this fixes the problem for a while. Other times, it says the
Storage Manager is in use and won't let me delete it. In either case if I
try to define SYSGEN_STOREMGR in the Settings.../Environment dialog it says
that the environment variable already set and won't let me set it.
Something is clearly broken and is costing us huge in down time for our
developers.
Any ideas what might be happening here?

How to generate CAB files that are sub-processor specific?
Hi
I am developing app for CE .NET 4.1 devices.
How can I generate CAB files that are sub-processor
specific, like I need different cab file for different
sub-processors w/ a Processor family like ARM (ARMV4,
ARMV4I, ARMV4T). The cab files seem to distinguish only
between major processor family i.e it has only one
identifier for the whole Xscale/SA. But the targets are
different for different sub-processors within this family.
In CE 3.0 I used to have only SA1100 BSP for devices both
SA/Xscale (ipaq, toshiba e740 etc).
Does that mean for CE.NET I should have a separate
installer for each sub-processor. I think I missed
something?
Plkease provide any hints.. thanks... Tag: Puting Margion on Desktop Question? Tag: 38638

what else should I install?
Can I use PPC2003 w/ evC++ 4.0?

CEC Editing question
Hello,
I understand that defining custom directory structures is handled via
the .DAT file. Is it possible to specify this in a .CEC? I.e.
myfile.exe should be "installed" to /Windows/MyDirectory?
It seems as though most of the cec build commands are only concerned
with where the files are stored during the build, not the end
directory structure to install them to.
Thank you,
