Re: Target designer cant stray from certain component configuration

Hi,

I made a test configuration for my device by importing the PMQ file
for the devices (the win32 version of the tool ran, not the dos
version).

I made a component out of it and added it to my configuration.
Now when I did a dependency check and build, many MANY MANY
components that I don't need (such as Wireless Zero Configuration,
Internet Explorer, Remote Registry, etc, etc) got added. Any time I
try to remove them, it comes back to me in the dependency check:
"System components require this to be added" or something like that.
I can't remove *any* of the ones it added -- they all "want" to be
added back.

Help?

Thanks,

They're going to keep coming back as long as you don't solve the root cause.
Ultimately, something has a dependency which caused components to be added.
You can either use a variety of the dependencies walkers out there or you
can look at the log to see what component caused X to be added. You can
then remove that component and see what component tries to bring that one
back on. Repeat...

It could also be that you are including something from your PMQ which really
isn't needed for your build. When you create a component from your PMQ
file, remember to set it's prototype to "Selector Prototype Component".
That will give it check boxes in the settings pane in Target Designer.
Using those, you can ignore certain components. Remember though, removing a
component doesn't remove it's dependencies. You need to prune early.
