SP2 package corrupted

It is already the second time that happens to me... Suddenly an image build
process ends with hundreds of errors.
I check the log and I see a lot of "file not found" errors, immediately
after building the SP2 .DLL (exact label will be available when I'll be back
to the office...), almost at the end of the build process. The only way to
recover is to the install the SP2 package from the Component Database
Manager and to reinstall it.

Now, I'm going to prevent it with a backup of the repositories, but that
shouldn't happen periodically!!!

Does it happen only to me ?

I guess you are trying to build an image...
Are you connected to a network when you built the image? If you are not
conencted to a network, you will get file not found errors.
Either connect to the network or change the Repository paths in Component
Database Manager.

Hi Sean,
I'm working locally on my computer. So, the MSSQL server installed by XPe
studio is also on my computer.
Like you, I was supposing "network" problems (i.e. problem on MSSQL
connection), I checked on the logs, but I didn't find any trace. Of course,
nor the computer reboot was successful.
Morover, why the error is reported *only* after the "SP2 DLL" building ?
Didn't the build process uses the components manager database up to that
building point ? Mah...

Again, thanks for your prompt reply!

Regards
Fab
 
Sean,
here the log exerpt with the complete building step name:

R: Building: "Windows XP Service Pack 2 Resource DLL [Version 5.1.2600.2180,
R2890]"...
Error 1005 (0x3ED) in "PlatformLib::CopySrcFile2": File not found:
"ialmnt5.inf"

[...]

More errors of the same type follow.

Regards!

It sounds like TD cannot locate files in one of the repository directories
specified for the "Windows XP Service Pack 2 Resource DLL [Version
5.1.2600.2180, R2890]" component in the database.

Open database manager and look in the Repositories tab. Find the entries for
the 5 'Windows XP Embedded' ones and make sure the directories specified in the
location column are present on your machine. If one (or more) is missing then
you will need to re-install your database. If all the repository directories
are there, then either some files are missing from one of them (unlikely), or
the database repository references in some of the components are incorrect (also
unlikely). Again you will probably need to re-install your database to fix the
problem.

Hmm...I don't know the SP2 DLL is? Is this part of a custom component?

This is a common SP2 component. The ialmnt5.inf is for a device driver. This
is an odd one.

Did you install the SP2 eval database or the full release version?

I will make it mine....;-)
 
The full one. I'm going to reinstall the database....and to make a backup of
it (see previous post...).

If I'll find the time I will try to move to a networked SQL server, hoping
it will not take a lot of time. Other than looking safer, it looks me that I
will improve the building time. Without the MSDE I will save some CPU and
I/O load, although I will loose something due to the network. I will see and
I will let you know!
