Installing the Development Tools Update
The development tools are used to create a custom Windows XP Embedded image, based on the requirements of embedded system hardware and software.
Note There are two types of Windows XP Embedded: full and evaluation. You cannot use evaluation tools to connect to a full version of the component database. The types of the tools and of the component database must match. Install the appropriate tools type for the component database you will be connecting to.
To install the development tools update
Insert the Windows® XP Embedded Service Pack 2 Feature Pack 2007 disc in the appropriate drive of your development system. If Setup does not start automatically, run the setup application, Setup.exe, located in the root folder of the installation media.
The Windows XP Embedded installation starts.
At the Windows XP Embedded start page, choose Tools Setup.
The Windows XP Embedded Tools Update Setup Wizard starts.
Choose Next.
The Windows XP Embedded Tools Update Setup Wizard completes.
Choose Finish.
The Windows XP Embedded Tools Update Setup Wizard closes.
At this point, you have installed the development tools on your computer. You can set up your component database on this computer, or on a separate computer.
Note To run the development tools on a Windows Vista machine, log in as Local Administrator, run the programs as the Local Administrator, or turn off the User Account Control.
