WinCE 5.0 Update Instructions need Updating

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I've noticed that all of the Windows CE 5.0 QFE installation instructions,
including the most recent ones, say that:

All updates for Windows CE 5.0 require the following:



1) Platform Builder 5.0 is installed on the machine.

2) The current user has run Platform Builder 5.0 at least once.

3) Upon installing, the platforms must be rebuilt using the "Rebuild
Platform" menu option.





Having spent some time searching in vain for a "Rebuild Platform" menu
option, I found in the Help system that it has been replaced such that now:


Rebuild Platform = Sysgen with the following flags selected:
a.. Clean Before Building
b.. Copy Files to Release Directory After Build
c.. Make Run-Time Image After Build



Perhaps it is time that these instructions were updated?
