Thanks Michel,
You made it clear, thanks.

It's simple: never EVER do a "build and sysgen". Remove that command
from your build menu, it is only useful for the Windows CE team who
actually *can* build the entire OS tree.

All QFE's are packed with LIBs, DLLs and EXE's, in short: binaries. Some
also update source code, but ALL update binaries. This means you do not
have to rebuild any source to get the updates. You only need to relink
your source (BSP, projects, etc) with the new libs. This means you have
to do a clean "sysgen" of your entire workspace (which includes your
projects and BSP, but NOT the entire OS Tree).

Again, please remove the "build and sysgen" from the build menu. If you
already clicked it once you probably want to completely remove and
reinstall Windows CE (because a lot of LIBs are now in an unknown state).

Good luck,

Hello,

I've been reading the posts about when-to-do-what, and there is something
I'd like to ask:

Some updates' Knowledge Base article says you would need to do 'clean build
for the whole platform'. And every updates documentation says 'the platforms
must be rebuilt'.

If I now install a QFE or a Monthly Update having such a update, can I
really do without 'build and sysgen' (and without 'clean'), with just SYSGEN?
How do YOU do yourselves?

Thanks in advance

Cheers
Matti
