hangup when overwriting files on an image?

has anyone ran into problems overwriting files on an XPE target? I have
certain situations where I try to copy files over ethernet from an XP Pro
box to a box running XP Embedded . The copy hangs the windows explorer on
the XPP box and never completes on the XPE box. I can repro the problem by
running a batch file on the XPE box to copy some OCX's from a temp directory
to system32, register them (in the system32 location), reboot, and then try
to copy a new OCX over to the temp directory (with the same filename). It
also happens when i copy the OCX from a directory local to the XPE box to
the temp dir (i.e. ruling out problems with ethernet, share permissions,
etc).

I saw a similar post here in July, but there was no resolution. Has anyone
seen this, and if so is there a resolution?

Thanks in advance.

Do you want to use running XPE to update itself ?

Read more info on DUA (Device Update Agent), and see it you can use it.

If not, one solution that I use is to boot from external device, and then do
modification to XPE that is offline.

I do use the DUA. I just used the OCX example because I can repro the
problem 100% with it.

I have seen these hangups during remote debugging sessions, when i copy new
builds over to my XPE target. I have also seen them when i am prep'ing a
target before running FBReseal. The XPE boxes are part of a distributed
application which does copy files to each other accross a local LAN.
Although I have not seen it yet, I am concerned they are going to hang
trying to copy files to each other once deployed.
