Hi,

i've already made a post which is more detailed than this, but since
i'm stuck and i'm in a kind of hurry, i would ask only a "simple"
question:

How to configure an already built XP Embedded image, if all you've got
is a custom shell, which runs only a custom application? With "an
already built image" i mean an image which has already been through the
FBA process.

Thanks for any answers
 
I depends, has fbrseal.exe been called already? If not, then you can open the
OS, change the registry to point to you shell, install you apps etc and the
call commit on the ewfmgr (assuming you have an ewf overlay). If fbreseal has
already been called, then echnically you can copy the file accross and run it
again after making the changes, but that's really not recomended, it can make
a real mess of everything from IIS to, well other stuff.

No, i haven't run such a thing yet.

What do you mean with "open the OS, change the registry to point to you
shell"? How can you change the registry if all you have is a custom
shell? And if i could change the registry, to which shell should i
point to, since i don't have any standard system shell installed
(explorer, task manager, command)?
 
By open, I mean boot.

Boot the OS, plug in a key board and if you can then bring up task manager,
control alt delete of control shift esc will do the job, from there run cmd
and you should be able to do most of the customisation that you want.
