0 Byte file

[Alex C]

This is not my first component to work on and I beleive
there is a simple solution. My component includes 3
files. All 3 are in the same repository directory. All 3
are pulled from my repository directory and end up
together in the guild directory under C:\Windows Embedded
Data\Repositories\.... after import. When I look at the
component files (after updating) in Target Designer,
1 .inf file and 1 .sys file are 0 bytes. The third file
displays the proper size.


Any ideas?

Alex,

I haven't seen this bug (if it is a bug).

Could you send us here your SLD with the repository files so that I could see what's the cause? (just zip it all and attach to the
post)

Do you work with SP1 or SP2?

PS. I believe that the INF and SYS files are not fake (not 0 byte in size), right?

Alex,

Is the same file (same filename/directory) pulled in by an other component?
TD shows the filesize for only one file.

I am working with a component that was authored by Via.
All that I have done is change the repository location in
the component and added an extra .inf file. The
component imports into the database without an error.
The files get moved into the c:\windows embedded
data\repositories\unique guild. So far so good. When I
open TD and update the component in my build I get the 2
file errors. It says that it could not find the 2 files
and lists a non-exhistant respository as the location.
The third file that I added to the
component "wdmaudio.inf" is correct. I don't beleive
that this is a windows xpe bug. My guess is that it is a
hard file location somewhere in the component and that I
am over looking it.

I am working in SP2.

Thanks for any help.

This is the only component using those files.

Thanks

Alex,

I have tried your component and did not get any errors. The files size were no 0 and reflected the actual sizes on the disk.
Something is wrong with the created Repository on your machine.

I would suggest you:
- Delete the Vinyl component instances from your current project(s)
- Open CDM in exclusive mode and delete Vinyl components (3)
- Delete "\Windows Embedded Data\Repositories\{29F6B537-7001-486D-80F1-EDF7E0DDED73}" directory
- Re-import SLD and try to include the Vinyl components and see if the error pops up again
