We have been using CE since CE 2.0 and always copied our application exe/dll
files to the cesysgen ...retail folder, made them read-only and included
them in the project.bib file in order to add them to the CE image. Making
them read-only prevented the files from being deleted by a 'clean'. When I
do this with CE 5.0, the files get deleted and the build fails. What is the
correct way to handle this?

Also, it seem that Build OS->clean has a similar effect as setting Build
DepTree in CE 4.2. Is this right?

Thanks

Bill:

Put the files in your Files directory. The Buildrel phase copies them to
the release directory automagically.
