How do I find what componets provide certain .exe

Hi,

Still coming to grips with XPe. Is there an easy way to
find out what component includes a certain exe?

For example, I'm trying to identify where the diskperf.exe
came from in an existing runtime image.

Initially, I created my own image and added everything to
do with performance counters and disks but its still not
there.

There must be an easy way (and probably obvious).

Thanks in advance.

Robin,

You want to create a filter in TD. For more information look up filters in
the documentation. Here's the short of it....

1) Open your SLD in TD.
2) In the top left pane click the funnel icon to open Filter Manager.
3) Choose "New" and type an appropriate name in the filed.
4) Scroll down to "Component contains the following file"
5) Highlight, and choose "Add Rule"
6) In the "Filter Description" box double click where it says double click
here.
7) Type the name of the file in the filter rule dialog box, and click ok.
8) Click OK, then click "Apply Filter"

Simple as that! HTH,

Hi Brad,

I've tried that but it seems that some resources (files,
etc) are packaged within a component. There isn't a
component for diskperf.exe. It must be included in
another one. (The exe exists in the repository).

Any other ideas??

cheers

Robin,

You could copy the files out of the repository and create your own component
for it. Then create a batch file to run at startup with diskperf -y, or
whatever you trying to do with it. I've seen other posts where the presence
of a page file enables features in performance monitor. You could try that
provided you have space for a pagefile. A simple 5MB one would do the trick.
Maybe someone else has a better solution though. HTH,

I opted for creating a new component. Thanks

I tried to add a file to an existing component but
the 'add' option was greyed out. I'm using the Evaluation
Version. Is this a limitation in the Evaluation Version?
 
Robin,

Are you trying to add a file to existing component in TD or CD?
If it is TD and you don't use Extra Files feature but rather trying to add
the file to an existing component in your configuration, you won't be able
to do so by design.
If it is CD and Add option is grayed out, most likely you have a released
component. You will need to "unrelease" the component (right click on
component node and select appropriate menu item) and then add the file.

With best regards, KM. E-mail: (e-mail address removed)
 
Sorry, I just realized that I gave you the wrong menu item name.
In CD to "unrelease" your component please select "Update Component".
