Run an application in a startup

[Jose Reinaldo]

How can I make an application run automatically when my embedded system
starts? As the HelloWorld for example.

Run Key. My application runs a batch file then locks itself on startup:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Startup"="c:\\startup\\startup.bat"
"lock"="rundll32 user32.dll,LockWorkStation"

Do you know if exist only this way to run an application automatically? I
though that there was one way inside the TD or with another tool.

You can add that reg key to a component...you can import reg files into
component designer, though beware of anthing with spaces in as it tends to
strip them.

As in you need instructions on how to create a component?

Hey

You open your component designer. Create a new component.
Add as registry data:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersi
on\Run]
"Yourapp"="c:\yourapp\yourapp.exe"
So the name = Yourapp
Type=reg_sz
Data =c:\yourapp\yourapp.exe
Remove the "

Save your component and add it to your database.

goodluck

this thing? Thank

Ok, this is a good hint! Thanks!
But where do I put "myapp=c:\myapp\myapp.exe"?
Where do I put the line "Data=c:\myapp\myapp.exe" ?
How can I put the DLL file that my application needs?

Hey jose

For your first question. Open the target designer. Put a
registry key with the: Extra Registry Data. Use the add
function to add one key. Browse the the key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersi
on\Run]
In the box value name put the name of your app, example
myapp
Change the type to reg_sz.
Put in the value box the path of your app in your build,
like c:\myapp.exe.

The dll and the rest of your application is already in
your build. This key is meant to start an application that
is installed.

But where do I put "myapp=c:\myapp\myapp.exe"?
Where do I put the line "Data=c:\myapp\myapp.exe" ?

I meant with this line that the registry value must be
c:\myapp\myapp.exe

good luck
