TD build "file not found error"

[Guest]

I had a design that built and ran fine (except for EWF stuff) under the demo
version of XPE. Before installing the licensed version I upgraded my hard
drive by cloning my drive to a new drive. I then uninstalled XPE and
installed licensed XPE, SP2. Brought my components back into the database,
and tried to rebuild my target.

Dependencies run fine, but during the build, I get "file not found errors".
They are the various DLLs etc needed by my components. Evidently the source
path is wrong? I've been away from this project a while and I can't figure
out (or remember) where that is set.

Steve,

You want to check whether "\Windows Embedded Data" folder is on the new drive. More specifically, "\Windows Embedded
Data\Repository" with a few GUID-like subfolders.

Yes, the folders are there. I looked at the Repository folders and one of
them has several of the 'missing' files listed. That folder is identical in
name and contents to one folder in my original drive.

Is there a place in one of the XPE programs where I set this up?

Thanks,

SteveS

Steve,

Open CDM (Component Database Manager) and verify that you've got those repositories registered on Repository page.
Make sure that the location for each repository is set properly there.

The registries are there, but can you explain how to interpret the Location?

I have the repositories on my root drive (this is a stand-alone setup) under
"Windows Embeded Data\Repsoitories"

The Location shows up as:

\\DHHM00\Repositories\{8F......} etc.

the DHHM00 is my computer name and is the same as the name under the
Database tab.

Why doesn't the Location have "Windows Embedded Data" as part of path? (if I
add it, it won't take it)

Also in some repository locations there is a single backslash before the
'{', in others, it's a double backslash. Changing it doesn't seem to matter.

Thanks again - this seems to be where things are wrong, I just haven't found
what yet.

Steve,

By default XPE ToolKit installation sets up the repository path to network share. So you must have \\DHHM00\Repositories share set
up (better with the write permissions for the account you log in under while using XPe tools).
Probably you had that share before you cloned the system.

Otherwise you will have to go and change each Repository location to point to the local drive.

Ok, changing the repository location did help for one error. Thanks.

I think my real problem was incorrect source directory names, and I had a
hard time finding where those were set. I finally remembered they are under
Component Designer, in the tree view, under Repositories.The property window
has a Source Path block. It's easy to miss since it has a gray background,
not white, so it looks like it's informational only. Anyway, on one of my
components, it was set to a completely wrong directory - don't know how or
why. Fixing that fixed it.
