Is there some sort of known problem with this setup?
Everything was fine on Friday from what I remember but this afternoon,
yet again, most of the components are reporting error 1005, (yes, the
microsoft ones) and eventually the build falls over completely with
error 0x800a004c.
This is the second time this has happened, and last time I ended up
completely reinstalling my *Ł*"Ł&(*Ł&% workstation. At this rate, my
bosses are going to start thinking I *enjoy* breaking my machine and not
being able to do any work for a few days or maybe that I'm doing this on
purpose to get a new Dev box.
Is there any way to fix this other than reinstalling everything? Last
time it happened, reinstalling the tools didn't work, I had to reinstall
the OS as well. Is there *anything* likely to work to fix it?

I assume you're talking about error 1005 (File not found) while building a
configuration in target designer? And it's happening while building every
component in the configuration and not only custom components? This is
probably an issue with accessing the repositories during the build.

A potential cause: If the machine was connected to the network during the
XP embedded database installation process, then the repositories locations
are saved using the UNC format (i.e. as a network share) even if the
database is installed locally. Later, when you try to build an image while
the machine is disconnected from the network, the location can't be
resolved and the build process fails with the "File not found" errors. If
you connect it to the network again, it should build fine.

If you don't want the build process to depend on the network connection,
then re-install the database while the machine is not on the network. Or
you could change the location of all repositories to use a local folder
format instead of the UNC name in the Repositories tab in the Component
Database Manager.

Hi Heidi,

This error is always unpleasant nuisance even if you work on one computer only.
Basically by default like k_s said you access repositories trough network share, now if you unplug your network cable no network
components will be loaded and no file sharing will work not even in 127.0.0.1 loopback domain, so you get stuck.

If your database in on that computer just if you power-up network with one dummy hub will help you and all will start to work :)

Slobodan

No. It wasn't that. How would I have posted this if the network wasn't
working?

Sorry that this did not helped. So just to make sure you can access repository folder trough network share?
Reply on second part would be trough cable modem connected on USB port or trough dial-up or from second computer that you use for
internet access :-)

Regards,
Slobodan

Ha. Sometimes here I think I'm lucky to have one computer... be nice if
less of the kit I bought myself went 'missing'

....well I ended up installing SQL and attaching the database to that.
All seemed to be going well, but then:

So I guess the database itself is pooched.
