Hello,
Is it possible to install a software to a local hard drive
on a computer running XP Embedded, with out converting it
to a XP Embedded component, as you install software on
Windows XP system, and than running the software from the
local hard drive.
Thanks
David
 
Hi David,

This depend purely on your program requirements and support provided by your XPe build.
But basically you can include what ever is needed for your installation to work.

So if your image is not restricted with size then answer is yes.

Hello David,

Yes it’s possible to install normal software or drivers on a Xpe image.
But it depends on the Xpe image you have,
For example: do you have the "Windows Installer Services" component added to
your target designer image ?
The Windows Installer Service component is required for the installation of
any Windows Installer-authored software package.

In general, the answer is yes. You might run into a problem if the
app your trying to install requires OS files not included in your
embedded image. For the most part, you can just copy the required
files to your image at runtime to suffice.
