XPe Beginner using 256MB CF

[Yoo Jin Kim]

Hello,

I'm trying to deploy the image into 256MB CF card.
The system will run a MFC application using Visual C++ which will control
some DAQ boards reading and writing the control signals and finally draw
some graphs as a result.
In the target designer, i added basic components first (NT loader, explorer
shell, NTFS, NTFS format, user interface core, etc.), did dependency check,
and build the image, but the size is about 300MB.
Is there any way to make the image size less than 200MB including MFC
application library and graphic?

Best Regards,

Yoo Jin Kim,

There is a lot of ways to do that but basically you will need to remove components from your old image or start a new image by
adding only necessary components.
