Hi

What are the functions about platform.reg platform.bib and platform.dat ?

Will all bundled dll and exe files put into image "Windows" folder, how can
I change
location if I want put file into "My Document" ?

What is the meaning of this description from platform.bib

IF BSP_NOAPP_KEYBOARD !
Keyboard.exe $(_FLATRELEASEDIR)\Keyboard.exe NK S
Keyboard_cpl.cpl $(_FLATRELEASEDIR)\Keyboard_cpl.cpl NK S

IF BSP_NOAPP_CBAPPLET !
CBApplet.dll $(_FLATRELEASEDIR)\CBApplet.dll NK SH

What's the difference between "NK S" and "NK SH" ?

Should we seperate words by space or tab ?

Thank for your kind teaching .

Lots of questions here - most of which can be answered by looking through
WinCE documentation. So bang through that. Then come back and let us know
if you have any remaining questions.

I'll give you one: S is system file. SH is system hidden file.

Take a look at this, I hope that it clears some of the mystery up:

Yes, .dat files only allows you to copy files and create folders during
boot. Every file included in the image automatically ends up in the
windows folder. It is therefore impossible to include 2 files with the
same name in the image.

Good luck,

But it is possible to include two files with different names, then use the
dat file to copy them to two different folders and rename them with the same
name.
