How's it working for you?

I'm assuming that a lot of people on here are building their own software to
run on an XP Embedded box, and they are turning this software into
components. To this end, the way the components and repositories work seems
really clunky to me. I would have thought they would act more like a
revision control system or something. It seems like a lot of busy- work
(and very error- prone) to put a new release together without blowing away
what you did before. I'm hoping I'm just missing something, however. Is
there anyone who thinks this product is really "slick"? If so, procedures
do you follow? I'd love to hear what anyone has to say about actually using
this product.
 
If you are making component for programs that you are writing, then you
should not have problems at all.
Creating component in this case is very easy, you enter few files, few
registry keys and that is it. (Since you know what files and what registry
keys you need).
And since you are writing software that should work with all XPe features
then you will probably want not to use registry for storing config info, and
this will simplify making component for your application.

So creating components for applications is easy, but you will have to face
another challenges like small image size, EWF related problems (like
daylight saving time), etc..
So relax and start reading online docs and previous posts in this news
