  • windows embedded help needed

    Operating System: windows xp embedded
    Burning Software: none
    Anti-virus Software: none
    DAEMON Tools Version: 3.46

    hello and thanks for reading this...
    i want to install dt with wxpe (windows xp embedded).
    i can install it using msi but adding msi to my images bloats it since msi requires so many other compenents that require more components....
    so is there a way to install it with msi.
    i could try to monitor the registry and files changes but there has to be a more reliable method.

    thanks so much,
    dave

      thanks for the reply...

      thanks for taking the time to respond.
      MUST is astrong word.
      perhaps i could use sysprep to capture all the changes...
      perhaps i could monitor the registry and file system for all changes.

      do you think any of the above options could work.

      perhaps you give some insights as you why i must use msi.
      what in partiicular needs msi.
      thanks again,
      :cry:

        Installer does not use "simple" file/copy method. It uses many dynamically created files and settings. You can try using filemon/regmon; it might work, but I have my doubts.

        My can't you use msi? Redist. is 1-2 mb, so I don't understand this bloat.

          thanks again

          it is not the bloat from your ..msi.
          the problem is the the point of wxpe is to build as a small a image as possible.
          it turns out installing msi intstaller requires a lot of file and those file
          requires more files and ......
