How to configure the environment variable like IE_MODULES_WININET

Hi all,

I have a problem here. I want to modify certain configuration for the
Internet Explorer in the Public folder of WINCE500.

I want to remove the usage of wininet. Pardon my ignorance, but i think I
need to set the enviroment variable of IE_MODULES_WININET to "" then i can
exclude it from the build. Can anyone tell me where do i set these setting?

Thanks

Hi Jimmy Lim,
Environmental variable can be set in two ways
1. Go to the platform directory for cepc goto platform\cepc there will be a
cepc.bat file, open it in notepad and set <environ var> = value
2.In wince 6.0, in the platform builder go to project icon select your
workspace, there in the environmental var under configuration properties,
select new and put your environmental variable.

These are used for setting an environment only not for removing i think.

I think you might have added a catalog item that includes this variable so
try to remove the catalog item in your workspace.

Regards,
Sankarraj

Take a look at WINCE500\PUBLIC\CEBASE\OAK\MISC\ie.bat and you will see that
IE_MODULES has WININET added to it. This is used by the build system to add
IE_MODULES_WININET later. You will also see that there are a lot of
components that are dependent on WININET, so it is not so easy to unset that
variable. Once you remove all of the components that are dependent on it,
it can be removed.

So setting IE_MODULES_WININET to nothing is not the way to do this, but
instead removing the catalog components that require it is the way to do
this.

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for the advice, I'll try it out and remove the catalog component.
There is no way i can modify the catalog component from the public folder
right? Unless I use CEC Editor and edit the IE catalog item in the Public
folder itself?

That would be an incredibly bad idea. You'll come along in a year or
something, add the IE item and wonder why the hell it doesn't work right.
If you don't want IE, then remove it. If you then *do* want WININET, add it
separately. If you want IE, but no WININET, you should forget it and live
with IE, as defined by MS.
