PB 6.0 Update installation order?

Hi,

I'm doing a fresh install of VS2005/PB 6.0 and have noticed that there is a
discrepancy in the installation instructions. I'm about to install the CE
6.0 Platform Builder Service Pack 1 from:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=bf0dc0e3-8575-4860-a8e3-290adf242678&displaylang=en

and noticed the note under Additional Information:

NOTE: Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Cumulative Product Update Rollup Package
(through 12/31/2006) should be installed prior to installing Windows Embedded
CE 6.0 Platform Builder Service Pack 1.

However, that package is no longer available for download as indicated in
the 12/31/2007 rollup notes:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=247033B2-F475-445A-9CD0-D80CDAE0FA75&displaylang=en

Which says:

Update packages released prior to R2 Product Rollup 2007 will not be
available for download starting 03/15/2008.

This is the second computer I'm installing, and just happened to notice
this. My first computer's install has a strange issue where I can't do 2
sysgens in a row without rebooting, so I'm wondering if I made a mistake when
I installed that one. I guess it would be helpful if someone who's installed
CE 6.0 R2 several times would give a suggested order to install all of the
updates when installing after 03/15/2008. Is this the proper install order?
->

1. Visual Studio 2005
2. Visual Studio 2005 SP1
3. Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Update for Vista (if applicable)
4. Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Platform Builder
5. Windows Embedded CE 6.0 SP1 (required if PB 6.0 Tools have been installed)
6. Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2
7. Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Cumulative Product Update Rollup 12/31/2007

Or else, can someone send me the 12/31/2006 update package, or do I even
need it?

Thanks,
Marco

The order you have listed below is correct. R2 includes all QFEs up to the
point where R2 was released. The 2007 QFE rollup includes the QFEs that
were released after R2, through 12/07.

Hi Michel,

your tool is cool but it does not work perfectly in my PC. I guess
that it has to do with the fact that my OS is not english. I suppose
that you are using the windows' captions to manipulate them.

When one runs the *.msi files, the first window that comes is a
security warning from the OS (in my case WinXP). In my the caption os
this dialog is "Datei =F6ffnen - Sicherheitswarnung" (German). I guess
that your tool checks the caption for a english-based OS.

Thanks,

Alex

Kein problem, das können Sie selbst im source code anderen! (ok, my
apologies for that, my German is bad! ;o)

Send me an email through my website and I'll get you the source so you
can change the code to match the German windows.
