You can modify your tool to get R1 too.įor R2 I directly used your tool, it is much convenient, but the dld speed is a bit slower, as it is not doing the "split-tricks" of FlashGet, hehe.
The whole list you need for an ARM4I install of PB6 (R1) is below (you won't need all the files, the total size that you have to dld is only about 900 megs, all the package is much bigger, but all ce_3_** and ce_4_** are not necessarry, and also wcetk_1, wcetk_7, etc).Įmulator.cab (if you chosed to install it)Īll from the link above.
I got the same problems downloading and installing R1 of CE6, and I looked into the logs, found the link to files and wrote a batch file for FlashGet (or CuteFTP, or other dld manager), like: You don't need to be connected to the internet while installing.ĭownload the tool (including source): DownloadCE6R2.zip Once the download is complete (1.1 GB) run the installer (Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2.msi) to install the R2 update. Since there are quite a few of those cabinets, and I figured this could be handy for more people, I wrote a tool that downloads the entire package from the Microsoft download server into a folder. By looking at the log files I could get a list of all required cabinet files. When I manually downloaded the cabinets there was no corruption. The corruption only seemed to occur when downloading using the Microsoft Installer package. So I dissected the MSI log files and was able to determine some downloaded cabinets were in fact corrupted. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.". The cabinet file 'MSI4E0.tmp' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used.
When I tried to install the R2 update I got error messages like: This is especially handy if you need to install the R2 update on multiple machines.Īnother reason would be if you, like me, get errors during installation. Since the complete R2 update is over 1 GB of data it would be nice to be able to download the package to a folder from which you can install the R2 update offline. This means there is no way to download once - install often.
