MORE INFORMATION

How to Install and Use This Update for Retail Builds

  1. Install the QFE package to deliver the Wceldcmd.exe components into the Platform Builder build environment.
  2. Open the workspace for your platform.
  3. On the Platform menu, point to Insert, and then click User Feature.
  4. Open the \WinCE400\Public\DataSync\Oak\Target folder, open the appropriate folder for your CPU, and then open the Retail folder.
  5. In the Files of Type box, click All Files, and then click the Wceldcmd.exe file.
  6. In the FeatureView tree, under User Features, click the Wceldcmd.exe feature. Right-click this feature, and then click Settings.
  7. On the BIB Info tab, change the image name to WCELOAD.EXE. The setting for memory must be "NK" , and the BIB Section must be "MODULES". Make these changes for each build, and view the Settings For box. If you have multiple CPUs for your platform, make sure to edit the "BIB Contribution" path to pick up the file from the correct location for each CPU configuration.
  8. Optionally, edit the "BIB contribution" path for the Debug build settings to pick up the Wceldcmd.exe file from the Debug branch under DATASYNC.
  9. Rebuild the platform.

Troubleshooting

If the ActiveSync component is already in the build, then a build error will occur during the image creation step because of a duplicate WCELOAD file. Platform Builder 4.0 will skip the file and build a BIN image, but report one error. To correct the problem, remove the ActiveSync components, or change the BIB file to remove the original WCELOAD.
