deploy created run-time windows Embedded image on to the new machi

[Guest]

I have a system where i run the tap.exe and then create a run-time image.
Can i use this created image on to the new machine with same h/w.

On new machine I want to have only the created windows embedded Runtime
operating system. is this possibble..?

You should only consult results provided by TAP. (It usually generate much
more components then usually requried by most developers).

If devices are same/similar then you can use XPe image on all of them. If
they differ you will have to add all drivers required for both of them so
that one XPe image can work on them.

Basicaly if you use generic driver components (provided for instance by
minlogon sample macro component) you will be able to start your image on
different (all) computers.

embedded_msit,

It is possible if the machines are the same HAL type compliant.

Hi,

Just add component "MinLogon Sample Macro" to empty project and you will see
that XPe will work on most (all hardware).
Driver components used by it have some "Standard" in their name like:
PCI standard PCI-toPCI bridge.
Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk controler.
Etc. you got the idea.

These are actual drivers and for most MB they are all what you need.
inf files usually provided for certain boards are intended for PnP to use
correct names and to tweak driver behaviour for cetrain chipsets, but driver
used will be same.

You can read whole this thread and you will find many usefull infos:

embedded_msit,

This question is on absolutely different subject.
The deployment options with XPe are good documneted so you may want to check XPe documentation.

On target device you may have CD-ROM or floppy option to boot from, prepare the target media and copy new image.
Or you can move the target storage to another machine, set up a dual boot, prepare the target media and copy the image binaries
there.
