'm trying to figure out how to modify an NK.bin CE image.

I can open the nk.bin image in Visual Studio and see all the registry and
files, however I can't edit and save it back.

Is it possible to edit an NK.bin file? If so, how?

if you open a nk.bin file that way you can only view the registry and the
modules; furthermore you can download the image to the target device. if you
need to modify some registry entries you can se he remote registry tool

In CE 6.0, search for the binmod.exe tool....
This tool let you extract and replace files in a nk.bin.

Thanks for the replies.

Binmod.exe should come in handy. Too bad I can't just edit the nk.bin file
in VS.

Sorry for the crosspost.

That wouldn't be a great thing to be doing anyway. Not very maintainable
when part of producing the 'right' nk.bin is to take the one that the system
builds for you and then modify the registry manually in Visual Studio. If
you just realize after a long sysgen build process that you got one of the
registry entries wrong in platform.reg or project.reg, modify those files in
their source directories, then copy them to the release directory and do a
Make Image operation. You should have the revised nk.bin with the adjusted
registry entries in a minute or two.
