Hi again. Sorry about not responding to this thread in a more timely manner. Other things keep me busy sometimes. I’ve made good progress with my custom OS build but there is one remaining issue that I hope is simple to resolve. So far I am able to do the following successfully
- Rebuild the OS in the workspace I downloaded from your site.
- Compress the image using packimage.exe
- Replace nk7.nbx in an existing tezi folder with the one from my OS build.
- Program that image from a USB key using the Easy Installer.
The OS boots fine so that’s all good. Just for fun, and to ensure things are working properly, I included Wordpad in the OS and it does in fact appear on the Colibri, so my procedure is sound.
However, the changes I made to include the web browser components do not seem to have any effect. I don’t actually know if I’m doing that correctly.
To include the web browser components, all I did was add the following to the IMX6_Core7.pbxml file, in the FeatureCollection (from Internet Explorer Catalog Items and Sysgen Variables (Compact 7) | Microsoft Learn)
<Feature Name="Item" CatalogItemId="Item:MS:SYSGEN_IE7_IESAMPLE" />
<Feature Name="Item" CatalogItemId="Item:MS:SYSGEN_IE7_MSHTML" />
<Feature Name="Item" CatalogItemId="Item:MS:SYSGEN_IE7_IMGUTIL" />
<Feature Name="Item" CatalogItemId="Item:MS:SYSGEN_IE7_PNGFILT" />
<Feature Name="Item" CatalogItemId="Item:MS:SYSGEN_IE7_IETHEME" />
<Feature Name="Item" CatalogItemId="Item:MS:SYSGEN_IE7_IEFRAME" />
<Feature Name="Item" CatalogItemId="Item:MS:SYSGEN_CTLPNL2" />
This appears to have had no effect on the OS build. There are no errors during the build, but neither is IE7 present after programming the OS.
So the question is: what else is required in order to include IE7 in the OS build?
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
