I am trying to install the Dymo LabelWriter 400 Turbo on a T5730 ThinClient
(XPe SP2). The installation fails with a missing file componnet. The
setupapi.log is attached below:

[2008/07/31 17:21:43 648.2]
#-199 Executing "C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe" with command line:

Is there anyway to shutdown Windows XP Embedded and leave power on? I tried
ExitWindowsEx(EWX_SHUTDOWN | EWX_FORCE, 0) but it didn't work. Notice I did
not use EWX_POWEROFF switch.

We have a custom shell that litrally does nothing (just a Win32 app that
returns 0).

Using Scheduled Tasks we start our actual application "When I log on". This
seemed to be fine - ethernet/display/keyboard/mouse/opengl all working [we
had tried making the application the shell but it always just raised a memory
access violation error].

When we power up with a USB Memory Stick inserted (if present our app should
read data files from it, not from the local hard disk). We can see the light
on the stick flash (app accessing it) but the app fails to use the files on
it.

If we close the app and re-run it (via opening an Explorer window, then
double-clicking on the app's .exe file), the app reads and uses the USB-based
files, as required!

Does anyone have any idea what could be happening???

TIA, Martin

Hi,

I am getting the errors in dependency check about the conflicts between .NET
Framework 2.0 MUI and 1.1 MUI. There is no .NET Framework 1.1 or 1.1 MUI in
my configuration. Where is the conflict from? My developement environment
is FP2007. The following are the error messages I got. Thanks for the help.

Hello,

From Device Manager, I can double-click on "SigmaTel C-Major Audio"
and in the Device status on the property page it says "This device is
working properly".

I want to get this Device status programatically in a C++ function so
in a program I can determine if the device is working or not.

After several days of searching the news groups, I cannot find a
solution (maybe because I am not searching for the right key words?)

I have already tried using a WMI ROOT\CIMV2 namespace technique with
Win32_SoundDevice. This failed on this statement:

Hi

I am porting a Windows NT Embedded application to windows XP Embedded. I
have created the requried image of the hardware using tools and the system is
working fine.

I am facing a new issue with respect to the instance name of the network
cards. In windows NTe we have instance name of the network card as one of the
registry entires viz. say E100E1 / E100B1 (based on the network card driver),
where as under windows XP Embedded, the instance name is some number viz.
{6646....}

I want to use the same instance name as used under windows NT Embedded in
windows XP Embedded.

Please let me know how to decode the number of the instance name to the
actual name or is there any method by which we can replace the instance name
with required ones i.e for example from {6646...} to E100E1.

Any help in this regard would help me a lot.

Hello,
i'm using XpEmbedded FP 2007 with a custom shell.
When i close the programm running as shell there is
only a blue screen left. If i want to run any program

Does anybody know if it is possible to place a shortcut
at the "blue backround" ?

Any hints are welcome,

I use IE browser to connect to a ftp site, and click File / Login As
to enter the username and password of the site.
Normally, I can click Save Password check box to save the password of
the site.
But after I use fbreseal.exe to clone the image and shutdown, next
time I boot the same image it just can't save the password of ftp site
by check the Save Password check box.
I also try each options of fbreseal.exe, but the result are all
failed.
Is this a bug of fbreseal.exe?
How can I fix this problem?
Please help me, thank you.

I'm a newcomer in XPe development. If this is a FAQ, please kindly direct me
to the relevant information.

I'm setting up a development environment for the mentioned HP unit by using
microsoft tools. For application development I'm using Visual Studio 2005
Team Suite which I own through my MSDN Value subscription.

The HP t5730 comes with a Windows XPe license. Now I would like to expand
this base installation with my own programs and related XPe modules that the
programs rely on.

I would interpret the situation so that since HP has already paid for the
XPe license and I already own the tools for application development I
wouldn't need to pay anything for the creation of the new image with my
programs and the relevant XPe modules.

The XPe evaluation toolkit creates an image which is valid for a limited
time period. Can someone direct me to the tools/methods which would allow me
to create an image which takes advantage of the fact that the XPe license was
already paid by HP.

Thanks hp

I have to provide a list of components in my working image as part of a
government review. I have been trying to figure out how to do this out of
target designer, but cannot seem to find an easy way. At this point I may
have to do screenshots of the TD screen. Anybody know if there is an easy or
even a massively over-complicated way of generating a list? Much thanks in
advance. And Sean, I know you got tricks. I'm expecting to see evidence of
your awesomeness once again LOL!
