CE 4.2 build fails after installing QFE updates

I'm having problems building an image after installing the 4.2 QFE
updates. This happens on both the evaluation and the full version which
I recently purchased. If no updates are installed, the image builds
fine.

This is the output in build.txt:
C:\WINCE420\PUBLIC\Samsung\WINCE420\smdk2410\cesysgen\sdk\lib\ARMV4\retail\coredll.lib
C:\WINCE420\public\common\sdk\lib\ARMV4\retail\corelibc.lib

Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\WINCE420\sdk\bin\i386\nmake.exe' :

The host pc OS is XP Pro with service pack 2. The processor is an Intel
Pentium D. Any ideas what could cause this problem? I'm going to try
installing on my old PC to see if I still have this problem. Any help
would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony

I tried that already. I'm repeating this on my old PC. First I
uninstalled WIN CE, EVC++, and deleted any related files/folders. I
installed the "purchased" version of CE 4.2 and have installed the 2004
wrap-up and the Jan-Mar2005 update and the image builds with no
problems. I'll cross my fingers and install the remaining updates and
see what happens. Then, I'll have to try this on my new PC.

On my new PC I could not install the 2004 "wrap up" update. I think I
have to resolve that problem to get the new PC up and running.

I found the problem and thought I'd pass along the fix. It seems when
you uninstall PB4.2 there is still an ini file in the Windows directory
(WinCEPB42.ini). You have to delete this file or else the 2004 rollup
QFE will not install (it complains about a script error). I have been
able to install all the updates through 11/2005 and found have no
problems building an image.
