Compact 7 CTK Shell Test Pass

Hi,

I have a problem of Compact 7 CTK Shell (Silverlight for Windows Embedded) Test Pass.

The results of all kinds of Test Pass included in [Shell] -> [Silverlight for Windows Embedded] were "Failed to Execute".

The "result.log" file (of Application Load Test) is:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To enable WTT logging, rename WTTLoggerMobile.dll to WTTLoggerMobile.dll (this is temporary)
Failure loading library "XRAppLoadTests.dll".
Error 126: The specified module or a dependent module could not be found.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"XRAppLoadTests.dll" is in C:\Program Files\Windows Embedded Compact Test Kit\tests\target\armv7.

(The target board is TMDSEVM3530)

However, The Test Tool cannot find this file.

What do I have to do with  this problem?

  • I assume that you are in the ADP/JDP program with Microsoft since you have early access to the WinCE7 release. Can you contact Microsoft through the ADP/JDP channels or through MSDN (though this may be only for final release products) to raise this issue.

    Thanks.

  • The file is loaded from the CTK proccess into the board. I'm assumig from a separate post that this might not be the latest build; and the problem might be fixed in a newer release.  In any case the file can be compiled through the Shared Sources; but I still suggest to use the latest version (I don't see any problems there).

  • Hi Jatin and Mauricio,

    Thank you for your advices.

    I am going to get and build the latest version, and see if the problem is solved.

    Since I haven't ever studied Shared Sources, I will first try to contact Shared Sources Program.

  • The Shared Sources come usually as part of the WinCE installation; check the installer if these are availablefor you (maybe dpends on the agreement that is established with Microsoft), the selection is located at the same screen where the platform is selected.  When these are installed you will see a "Private" directory.

  • Hi Mauricio,

    I checked some Microsoft websites on Shared Source Program, but I cannot find how I can get the latest version of  the source code for Compact 7.

    I found there are some Shared Source Licensing Programs (i.e. Windows Embedded CE Shared Source Licensing Program, Windows Embedded CE Shared Source Premium Derivatives Licensing Program). Perhaps we (my company) cannot enroll Windows Embedded CE Shared Source Premium Derivatives Licensing Program, because we do not meet the criteria of participation of this program. I also found there are some websites where I can get the source code: CodePlex, MSDN Download and Code Center. And I also found that Code Center Premium (CCP) that is web application that enables licensees to access source code securely.

    I am using both CE 6.0 R3 180 days Trial and Compact 7 CTP on separate PCs. I confirmed that under CE 6.0 R3 root diretory (WINCE600) there is "PRIVATE" directory and there are some kinds of source code in this directory, while there is no "PRIVATE" directory under Compact 7 CTP root directory (WINCE700). I ran an installer of Compact 7 CTP and saw the list of items to be installed, but the Shared Source selection is not located there. As you said above, it may be unavailable for me at present since the Shared Source agreement haven't been established between Microsoft and us.

    In order to get the latest source code (422 September : current released build by Microsoft for Compact 7), what kind of Shard Source Programs do I have to enroll? (Which website or service can I use?) If you have any idea, please tell me.

    And...please let me clarify one more thing: you said that in the 422 September release xamlperf demos aren't included due to some internal changes by Microsoft. Actually, I am able to include and run them on Compact 7 CTP by setting SYSGEN_SAMPLEXAMLPERF in Environment variables setting. Is this why my build version is rather old? And, under older build versions (= before the internal change by Microsoft), do Xaml Demos run without jerky movements?

  • Hi,

    I'm sorry; you need to contact Microsoft to figure out how to get their latest drop or the Shared Sources for their code.

    Again, this version (422) is probably only available through some specific agrrement with Microsoft.  Yes, you are correct that is the flag used in CE6R3 to include these demos; however this flag is not longer available in the late releases from Microsoft.  Unfortunately, I don't have an equivalent to your Build, but I know that Microsoft has been improving and enhancing Silverlight functionality through the CE7 program, and as far as we were able to test these demos, we never experienced jerkinness in the animation.

  • Do you have the public CTP (PCTP) or are you part of CTP program? My  guess is that you have PCTP from June. In order to get the latest SW, your company has to be part of JDP, ADP or CTP program with Microsoft

  • Hi Mauricio,

    I understand that I have to contact Microsoft to figure out how to get the latest version of CE7 software. Also I understand that SYSGEN_SAMPLEXAMLPERF flag is no longer available in the late releases from Microsoft, and that you've never experienced jerkiness movement in the xamlperf demos anyway.

    I will try to ask Microsoft about the SW update and Shared Source of CE7.

    Thank you for your big help.

  • Hi Atul,

    As you say, I have PCTP program from June which can be downloaded from Microsoft Connect site: https://connect.microsoft.com/WindowsEmbeddedCompact?wa=wsignin1.0

    Mauricio said that this version is rather old, so I have to get the latest version of SW in order to test Silverlight for Windows Embedded performance.

    I will contact and ask Microsoft about JDP, ADP or CTP program.

    Thank you for your valuable advice.
