Hello all,

Firstly, let me apologise in advance for what is a pretty dumb question.
I'm researching a project, and I've hit some hardware problems that are
preventing me finishing testing in time for a deadline.

My question is this: I have a fairly vanilla Win32 (currently runs on XP
/ 2000 / 98 / NT and so on with no problems) executable that uses TCP/IP
sockets to communicate with a server. It also talks to local com ports
and can be made to call local DLLs.

I need to know if it's likely to run without problems on an
appropriately configured XPE system.

I will be testing this as soon as I can make an XPE system that
works(!), but meantime any opinions from the cognoscenti would be very
much appreciated.

Thanks
 
Hi Nigel,

You should not have problems with sockets on any XPe image you build since
they are very low level.

Also since XPe can be configured to support same things as Windows XP
Professional with additional few things this mean that you will be able to
use your program without problems if you configure your image correctly.

Hope this helps you.

Regards,
Slobodan

It does indeed, and (as you can probably guess!) it was also exactly
what I wanted to hear.

Many thanks, I appreciate the help.
