Component Database Manager doesn't import executables from generatedcomponents?

[vcnewbie]

Hi All

I'm creating a component for an application intended to run in a flash
IDE module. Following instructions, I have a copy of every file in a
folder inside the folder that also contains the component file. I've
set that folder's name in the appropriate place (I guess).

After everything is setup, the component was released and then I try
to import it to the database manager.

But doing so, after checking the option to copy every file to
repository root, the database manager report says the task was
unsuccessfull, just when I uncheck that copy option, then it shows a
success for the import.

Latter on, when I tryed to delete that same component from the
database manager, with the option to delete all files checked, it says
I may not have the rights to delete the files from the repository.

Has anyone any hint on what I'm missing? My logon is included in the
machine administrators group.

By the way, when I browse the repository folders, I find all the files
of my component, but the executables, and when I bring this component
to target designer, the executables shows as 0 bytes and then it
complain about not being able to find those.

Thanks in advance.
Francisco

Make sure the sharing permission on the Windows Embedded Data\Repositories
folder is set to Full-Control access instead of Read-only. Once you hae Full
access, you will be able to import over a repository and delete a
repository.

Hi, Sean

Well, I've checked my permissions. My logon belongs to the machine
administrator group, and this group has full rights over (almost) all
the machine, in special the database folders.

Just to make sure, I've removed everything XPe installed and
reinstalled everything again, checking permissions all the time,
including my logon user name explicitly as full access everywhere.

On the first import, it accepted all files, including the
executables. When I tryed to remove that same component, the
Component Database Manager started to complain again about not being
able to remove all files, that it could not delete some of them in the
repository folder, perhaps due to lack of user rights.

I've found the correct folder for that component and removing it by
hand was as straightfull as possible, no complaints from the OS.
Another import was OK, but the deletion, once again, complains about
not being able to remove everything.

Does the Component Database Manager runs under a different user name?
If this is the case, I think should add this user to the machine
administrators group, and that will solve the problem.

Thanks in advance
Francisco

You have to change the rights of the repository folder to Full accesses to
delete repository folders. Right click on the Repositories folder and select
Sharing to change the rights on the individual folder...


Even though this paper was for installing the tools into Vista, there are
some steps that are relevant for XP Pro:
http://www.seanliming.com/Docs/XPe on Vista notes.pdf - look at step
10 through 14 of the XP Embedded tools setup section.
