nk.bin image extract

[Mauz@discussions.microsoft.com Mike Mauz]

I would like to extract the registry info and files contained in a nk.bin
image. The image is for Windows Ce.Net 4.0. I do not own Visual Studio or
Platform Builder. I have tried viewbin.exe tool without success. Following is
the link to the file: http://rapidshare.com/files/262210456/nk.bin.html. The
image is from an older Trimble datalogger (Windows Ce.net 4.0). Is it
possible to extract the files in the image?

Extract files - yes using binmod that comes with Platform Builder and some
changes that I document in
http://geekswithblogs.net/BruceEitman/archive/2009/05/16/platform-builder-replacing-files-in-an-nk.bin-with-binmod.exe.aspx

View the extracted registry - The only way that I know is to use Platform
Builder 6.0 with Visual Studio. You can get an eval copy for free from
microsoft.com/embedded

But then the real question is why? You can run the device, hook up using
ActiveSync or ethernet and use the Remote Registry Editor avaliable in
embedded visual C++ (eVC++) but I am not sure if it is readily available -
but you can search for it.

I guess it won´t be so easy. I´ve downloaded the link and it seems
that they used a different type of compression/scrambling... The file
starts with "nksq", instead of B000FF

Platform Builder 6 also says that the image is invalid.

I guess that your best bet is to pray that the files are not protected
in rom and try to copy it to a usb disk/network share. You can get the
registry settings via ActiveSync, or running a custom arm based
regedit in the board.

Or even better. Contact the original developer and ask for the files.
