This package will install all QFEs directly to your build environment.  A backup of all updated files will be maintained at the following location:  %_WINCEROOT%\BACKUP.  You can remove any files from this directory at your choosing.

If You Have Installed Previous QFEs

If you have installed previous QFEs (for Windows CE.NET 4.0), this will update your build environment to include the latest files for this component.

If You See "These files were NOT installed"

If this message is displayed, it means that you have installed a QFE package with a later version of the installed file.  You will already have the updates mentioned in this document, including something later (documented with that later QFE).  This message is displayed to prevent accidental overwrite of the latest Windows CE QFE to that particular component.

Fixes Made in this QFE:

By Component:

Component:  CEPLAYER

• 020507_Q321673 - WMP App does Linear-to-Log conversion, in order to pass Log values into DShow IBasicAudio. IBasicAudio then reconverts to Linear.

Component:  CONNMC

• 020501_Q321520 - Unable to create a new connection after applying QFE 020304_Q316218. Network apps need updating after implementing the changes associated with that QFE.

        The changes in bold also need to be made to public\common\oak\drivers\netsamp\connmc\rasconninfo.cpp:

Component:  Drivers, Mouse

• 020612_Q323460 - On a touch screen device, when the screen is rotated the value returned by GetMouseMovePoints() may not be correct.

Component:  FATFS

• 020501_Q321627 - Data is not always flushed to disk when writing small files. This may result in data loss when the card is ejected.

• 020501_Q321627 - Filesys.exe leaks up to 2KB memory with every insertion of a compact flash memory card, and leaks up to 4KB memory loading icons from the compact flash card.

• 020517_Q321946 - The FATFSD driver in Windows CE.Net issues a IOCTL_DISK_DELETE_SECTORS call to the block device driver. It is optional for the driver to handle this call, but when doing so, the intent is to clear the sector of data. For some types of media, this can improve wear usage and performance. The Disk On Chip driver does handle this IOCtl. FATFSD in CE.Net sends an incorrect sector number in this call, and therefore the incorrect sector is cleared.

Component:  FSMAIN

• 020515_Q322128 - When a hive-based registry resides on an IPSM file system, the user hive and default directory can't be created at "coldboot" on a clean IPSM file system.

Component:  GWES

• 020515_Q321991 - On Windows CE.Net, the desktop background colors may be incorrect when a 16-bit bitmap is selected as the desktop background. For example, a blue-colored 16-bit bitmap may be displayed as a red-colored bitmap.

Component:  IE

• 020410_Q320233 - When using Microsoft security APIs through Wininet to create a secure https connection using SSL 3.0, one of the three documented certificate checks does not take place. Specifically, the name of the certificate is not checked against the name of the requested url. This means that any valid digital certificate works with any url - in other words, there is no server authentication. As a result, the requesting device is susceptible to simple IP spoofing attacks.

Component:  Kernel

• 020418_Q320734 - Memory file system performance is too slow on StrongArm. To resolve this, the function versions of ''memcpy'' and ''memset'' have been enabled.

• 020517_Q321628 - Perf issue: Need support for uncached memory that is still bufferable on XScale.

• 020607_Q323461 - A thread may not be scheduled properly the first time it is scheduled after the thread is created. Any interrupt may cause a reschedule away from the thread to a thread of equal priority, even if the thread quantum time has not expired. This occurs because the counter for thread quantum time remaining is left set at 0 when a new thread is created.

Component:  MSHTML

• 020418_Q320737 - Windows Media Player does not handle mms:// (NetShow streaming) and instead displays an error message.

Component:  MSPART

• 020501_Q321278 - GetDOSPartitions call fails in mspart.dll on some XP formatted CF cards.

• 020501_Q321627 - Data is not always flushed to disk when writing small files. This may result in data loss when the card is ejected.

• 020501_Q321627 - Filesys.exe leaks up to 2KB memory with every insertion of a compact flash memory card, and leaks up to 4KB memory loading icons from the compact flash card.

Component:  MSTSC

• 020509_Q320005 - Korean input issue:  Unable to pass Hangul/English toggle key to RDP server's IME, and therefore unable to Korean characters via TSC client program.

The following entry is necessary in RDP.REG:

• 020418_Q320737 - Windows Media Player does not handle mms:// (NetShow streaming) and instead displays an error message.

• 020426_Q320253 - When downloading a file from a Web Server the file gets downloaded to the IE 5.5 cache and then copied from the cache to the user selected destination folder. The downloaded file then gets deleted from the cache. During this process twice the file size of free storage memory is required. Moving the file from the cache instead of copying it would only occupy once the file size of free storage memory.

• 020517_Q321990 - IE5.5 may not respond when downloading a file if the file size is more than half of the free storage memory.

• 020628_Q324352 - DCR:  Request for dialog noting a download failure after applying QFE 020517_Q321990.

Component:  STOREMGR

• 020501_Q321278 - GetDOSPartitions call fails in mspart.dll on some XP formatted CF cards.

Component:  WCELDCMD

• 020424_Q320854 - DCR:  Request for WCELoad to have a headless version.  This will remove dependencies on shell components that are not needed for a headless configuration.

 

Instructions for installation:

 

1. Install the QFE package. This will deliver the WCELDCMD.EXE components into the Platform Builder build environment.

 

2. Open the workspace for your platform

 

3. Select the menu Platform->Insert->User Feature...

4. Browse to \WinCE400\Public\DataSync\Oak\Target, then browse into the appropriate directory for your CPU and then to the Retail directory.

 

5. Change the "Files of Type" combo-box to include EXE files, then select the WCELDCMD.EXE file.

 

6. In the FeatureView tree, under User Features, select the WCELDCMD.EXE feature. Open the contect menu (right-click) and select Settings.

 

7. On the BIB Info tab, change the Image Name to "WCELOAD.EXE".  The setting for Memory should be "NK" , and the BIB Section should be "MODULES".  Make these changes for each build (see drop-down under "Settings For:")  If you have multiple CPUs for your platform, make sure to edit the "BIB Contribution" path to pick up the file from the proper location.

 

8. Optionally, edit the "BIB contribution" path for the Debug build settings to pick up the WCELDCMD.EXE from the Debug branch under DATASYNC 

 

9. Rebuild platform.

 

 

Troubleshooting. 

 

If the Activesync component is already in the build, then a build error will occur during the image creation step due to a duplicate WCELOAD file.  Platform Builder 4.0 will skip the file and build a BIN image, but report 1 error.  To correct the problem, remove the Activesync components, or alter the BIB file to remove the original WCELOAD.

 

Component:  WEBVIEW (pIE)

• 020402_Q320260 - Webview control shows nothing when codepage is unrecognized.

• 020422_Q320992 - When Pocket IE finishes downloading and saving a file, the webview control shows a dialog box which says "WebPage - A system shell must be present to support executing folder paths or shell extensions." This is not an issue when using the pIE shell included with Windows CE. However, when an OEM writes a custom shell, this error may occur. To resolve it, this QFE must be applied, and the following change needs to be added to the registry of the device.

                    The fix checks for a specific registry value:

                    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Apps\PocketIE]

                    "ExecShellOnFileDownload"=dword:

If the value of "ExecShellOnFileDownload" is equal to '0', then the shell will not be invoked upon file download.  For any other value, the shell will be invoked showing the folder containing the recently downloaded file.

 

The behavior in the absence of the key is that the shell WILL be invoked. The value "ExecShellOnFileDownload" is not present by default so the OEM will have to create it in order to stop shell invocation upon file download.

• 020510_Q321865 - When attempting to download a .PDF file, pIE tries to display the .pdf file as text instead of prompting the user to download it.

Component:  Windows Media Player

• 020507_Q320990 - Windows Media Player fails to respond to rotation.  On a display where the resolution is 240x320, a better way to display a movie clip is rotated 90 degrees in full screen.  In full screen with rotation, if the clip is stopped/paused and then resumed again, the image that we get is partially clipped but rotated. Expected behavior is a non-clipped full rotated stream of images.

If you wish to redistribute a Windows Media Player SDK, the following public code changes are required.  The following file needs to be updated to include the public code changes.  Changes in BOLD should be added to the functions noted below.

 

To generate new libraries with the associated changes, follow these instructions.

1.  In Platform Builder, choose menu option ''Build''-->''Open Build Release Directory''
2.  change directory to winutil.cpp directory (e.g cd C:\WINCE400\public\directx\sdk\samples\dshow\BaseClasses
3.  type ''build -c''
... strmbase.lib and strmbasehl.lib will be dropped in \public\directx\sdk\lib\...
