There's a bug in the cerdisp public code, making the "-c" option
(autoconnect) not work. When parsing the command line, the tchar
pointer is not incremented so the application keeps saying "invalid
argument". Apparently it has never been tested before release.

The file is
C:\WINCE500\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\DRIVERS\CERDISP\CERDISP\cerdisp.cpp

Does anyone know of a qfe? I've installed qfe's for 2004 and 2005. I've
looked for the ones released this year, but I've sadly given up, noting
that apparently Microsoft still has not found the time to create an
html page with qfe information for us. Maybe next year...

Regards,
Piet

This is just sample code, not likely to be qfe'd. I ran into the same
problem, and just fixed it locally. Gave me the opportunity to add a couple
of other "features" that made it more useful in a purely headless system.

I think this code was originally written to be used on a device that already
had a working user interface, and just wanted to export it to a different
device. That model allowed the user to just run the program with no
parameters. The command line parameters were obviously not tested.

Qfes have been released for 2006, they are now released as monthly rollup
packages. See the following link:

Thanks Dean, it's easy to fix of course but still annoying.

I'll save the qfe link, I've tried a number of searches but haven't
been that successful (I used the MS search).

That's all this was, a search on the downloads section with keywords "ce
update" and sorted by date...
