Hi,

is it possible to use the PenInputPanel from TabletPC with XP embedded?

Regards,
Wolfgang
 
Wolfgang,

Technically - very likely it is possible.
Legally - unlikely. That is software from XP TabletPC OS, not from XPe Repository.
 
Hi,

ok it is possible, but creating a component from inf files for tablet
buttons or pen is not sufficient.
It still doesn't work.

How to use pen or tablet button on XP embedded ? Do we have to include or
delete some components?

Thanks for your help,

Thorexocet.

"still doesn't work" is not really informative :-)
Take a look at \windows\setupapi.log file. There you will find a possible reason for the software install failures.

XPe Repository includes binaries from XP Pro. It does not have software components from TabletPC OS.
You will have to componentize the software by yourself (again, legal side of that is up to you). It is going to be easy as soon as
you do the software analisys on your Tablet. use tools like Filemon/Regmon/DependencyWalker/RegSnap and etc.

See XPe documentation on how to componentize 3rd party software applications and drivers for XPe.

Unfortunatly that's not so easy (again legal side set aside), as the
TabletPC stuff gets installed with the basic XP install (you enter a
different serial and the standard XP installer request the second CD for
TabletPC oder MediaPC components). You would have to analyze what's on
this CD or you would have to compare two installations (is anybody aware
of a tool doing this? i.e. compare two WXP installations and generare a
install for the difference).

Hi,

as an alternative this problem (basically combining a WXPe like install
on a CompactFlash with TabletPCs PIP): Can the "EWF RAM Reg Mode" be
used with XP (non-embedded). Can the "pagefile support" get disabled?

Thanks,
Wolfgang
 
Wolfgang,

Technically you can get EWF running on any XP-like system (XP kernel is the requirement :-) ). And that is really easy to
accomplish.

Legally, only XPe.


You can turn off pagefile on XPe/XP Pro/XP TabletPC using System Control Panel UI or directly through registry. Is it what you asked
about?
