Not connecting the Build machine to network

[Guest]

Hello again,

I read somewhere that we can do some tweaks to avoid having to connect the
build machine (with TD running) to network. However, I don't seem to be able
to find it anywhere. Does anyone still have these instructions?

Thanks very much!

Did you mean that you want to build XPe images without the machine being on
the network? If so, you simply need to use local paths instead of UNC paths
for the repositories: Go to Component Database Manager, click on the
Repositories tab and change the location for every repository there to use
the local path for the repository instead of the UNC name, e.g.:

Instead of

\\MyComputerName\Repositories\\{A51AAF2C-0A52-4FD7-83DD-9E220C515A4E}

Use:

C:\Windows Embedded Data\Repositories\{A51AAF2C-0A52-4FD7-83DD-9E220C515A4E}

Make sure to uncheck the "Move repository files to new location" since we’
re not really moving anything.

Have you connected network cable in your builder machine.

You can also try adding Loopback adapter and check.

because repository is set to unc path, if network cable is not
connected, you will not able to build any runtime.

If you add loop back adapter, it will work.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies. Currently, when I build an image, I connect it to
the company network. I was hoping to do away with this, to minimize whatever
risks there are from connecting the build machine to a network (viruses etc).

Will simply connecting a loop back Ethernet cable do?

Thanks!
