Can't update component DB

[Doug Gordon]

OK, I haven't touched any XPE development for almost 6 months and I've
forgotten a lot of what it took to get it working. I'm updating a previously
released component, adding a new file to it, and when I try to import the
new component into the database I get:

Copying 'EWF Reset' repository files to
\\300HQ09750\Repositories\{DBB8061C-809D-4C40-AE64-786D328BF923}
Error: Cannot delete repository files in the target folder. Please make sure
you have write access to the files.

The following files have not been imported
D:\CC_Views\cftcoor32\pcflex\cflex\xpe\component\ewfreset\ewfreset.sld

File(s) Processed : 1, File(s) Succeeded : 0


I remember getting this before, but can't remember how I got around it. The
Personal SQL DB server is running on my local PC and I certainly do have
permissions to the directory in question. What should I look at or do to get
this working? Should I just create another repository as a workaround?

Go to the Windows Embedded Data folder and in Repositories, change the
permissions for the directory you are trying to access
(DBB8061C-809D-4C40-AE64-786D328BF923).

I have changed the permissions -- even gave full access to "Everyone" --
with the same result. Now I can't rebuild my target since it can't find my
files. Any other ideas?

OK, I just got this working with the brute-force method by deleting the
repository directory altogether, then importing my component. The DB Mgr
created the directory anew and populated it with my files. I'll see if it
builds now!

Part of this problem could be that our IS department recently changed our
domain configurations so that we all had to change to a different domain,
which caused a lot of headaches for a while. On top of this, I'm getting a
whole new PC in a few weeks and will have to re-install the XPE development
and recreate the database from scratch, so maybe with a clean start things
will work out (or not!).

See if these instructions help...

Update the sharing and security attributes of the Repositories directory by
doing the following:

A. Right-click on the Repositories folder and choose
"Properties."

B. In the Repositories Properties dialog, click the Security
tab.

C. Click the "Add..." button.

D. Add the user under which you will be doing your XPe work
into the "object names" listbox. You can enter it in a
variety of formats, for example, domain_name\username.
Click the examples link for more information.

You can also use the "Locations..." button, and the
subsequent "Advanced..." and "Find Now" buttons for a pure
point-and-click interface for adding the object.

You can add a group instead of a user if you prefer.

Finally, click OK to add the object to the list.

E. Highlight the newly-added object.

F. Click the Allow checkbox for the Full Control permission.
All the other Allow checkboxes should get checked
automatically too.

Then click OK.

G. In the Repositories Properties dialog, click the Sharing
tab.

H. Click the Permissions button.

I. Repeat steps D-F above to add set up the full control
permissions for the user (or group).

J. Click OK on the Repositories Properties dialog in order to
dismiss it.
