Registry editor for WinCE 4.1 / 4.2 ?

[Nicolas Nasdrovisky]

Does anybody have heard about a registry editor for Windows CE 4.1 / 4.2 ?
The (wonderful) editor from PHM (www.phm.lu) doesn't seem to be compatible with
my ARMV4 WinCE 4.1 device (a Symbol PPT 8800)

Thanks!
Nicolas.

Do you need on-board registry editing? You can use the Remote Registry
Editor that comes with the (free) eMbedded Visual C++, if running the editor
on the desktop is OK...

Hi !

I use TRE (Tascal Registry Editor). It's very powerful and it works on my
ARMV4 device (under WinCE 4.2).
If you can't find it on the web, I can send it to you.

Thanks! I found version 0.82 on the web.
Unfortunately, my device says "Cannot find 'TRE' (or one of its components)"
when I try to execute it (I've installed it using TRE.arm.CAB

My device is running a "naked" WinCE 4.1, not the complete PocketPC 2003, and I
guess it lacks some DLLs or something.

Any idea ?

With the version I'd found, there is an "install.exe" which automatically
install the application on the device through ActiveSync from the PC.
I've installed the software by this way but it would be the same.
My device is not a PocketPC too, the only difference is that the OS is
WindowsCE 4.2.
Anyway, try to install with the PC installer.

I think I found what's wrong.

There is an article on M' web site
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dncenet/html/WINCENET_CEPCC_App.asp)
explaining that the compatibility between PocketPC and CE.NET is supported
through the AYGShell.DLL, provided by the CE.NET manufacturer. And "Symbol"
provides simply no AYGSHELL.DLL at all...
So I'm afraid I won't be able to run PocketPC applications on my Symbol...

Thanks for your help!

So, *do* you need a registry editor that runs directly on the device?
Again, Remote Registry Editor from MS that comes with eVC will work fine
with virtually any Windows CE-based device.

OK, Paul, I will use the remote registry editor.

I need to make comparisons of the registry status while I am changing my
device's configuration. The exportation of the whole registry takes hours...
But ok, ok, I'll take the time.

PS: now, I know why my CE.NET 4.1 device is cheaper than the same device with
Pocket PC 2003...

Thanks for your help!

If you are exporting only for things like "what does the Control Panel do
when you change the timezone" or something, you only have to export
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. There's certainly *zero* chance that anything in
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (that's just the various COM objects, basically), or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER (many Windows CE devices don't even support multiple
users), is going to be changed.

If you just want to do something on the device, you can, with relative ease
(should take less than a day, certainly), enumerate the entire registry
yourself from C or, with OpenNetCF, C# or VB.NET. Since you don't need any
UI, you don't have to be too fancy. Maybe this would be the way to go.
