Nothing on the start menu

[Guest]

I started with one of the MS templates, but at this point I've manually
added almost everything and still all I have on the start menu in logoff and
shutdown. I thought I saw something about this but can't remember, too many
dead brain cells.

RC,

Find "User Interface Core" component in your configuration and Select the
component settings node. You will need to set the options you want to change
in our target OS UI.

Got it, dumb newbie mistake. Thanks

Well I thought I got it. Booted the image, still no start menu.

RC,

No start menu at all?
Have you setup the "User Interface Core" component settings?
Also, add "Standard Start Menu Shortcuts" component to the configuration.

I built yet another image, all this has in the imported TAP information, the
"User Interface Core" and the "Standard Start Menu Shortcuts". This would
never work for my application but I'm in my problem solving mode (one thing
at a time). I checked it for dependencies, added what I needed (chose
explorer as the command shell), and built the image.

Boots up and all I have on the Start menu is Log Off and Turn Off Computer.

I'm getting totally frustrated with this, with what I'm convinced is a
stupid newbie mistake on my part.

Anyone willing to send a .slx that they know works, minus all the hardware
information. Just something that's otherwise useless but will show a start
menu. I've tried a number of the MS templates and it's always the same
thing. I just want to make sure it's me and not something wrong with Target
Designer, or the database.

Thanks

just take out everything in quotes and replace with what's needed.

RC,

I am confused why the UI core does not work properly on your image.
Could you confirm once again that you have checked most of the check-boxes in "User Interface Core" component settings?

If you did, then let's debug what is going on with your run-time build. Build the image with TD, then load offline the built image's
"default" registry hive ("WINDOWS\system32\config\default") with regedit on your dev XP machine. In the open hive go
to"<your_loaded_hive_name>\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" registry key and check the values set there.
E.g., "Start_ShowRun" dword value should be set to 1.
If it is not, you either did not change the "User Interface Core" component settings or your TD (or database) is broken.

That and almost all the values are set to 0, I'm going to reload TD and the
database, maybe it's not me after all.

If it is not, you either did not change the "User Interface Core"

component settings or your TD (or database) is broken.

Went back and checked, all checked.

This does sound weird. Unless there is another component that changes the values during the build.
You may try to use XPeTools/DependencyExplorer (www.xpefiles.com, Development Utilities/Main) custom filter component to search for
the registry value names (e.g. "Start_ShowRun"). This may show you what components overwrite the reg.values in your Configuration.

And uninstalling and installing back the Mantis database may also help.

Cleaned it out, put it back in and built an image, Success!!!
Thanks for all the help, I learned a lot.
