3.2 Software Update
The industrial PC is delivered with an executable Windows XP Embedded (XPE) Image.
Nevertheless, it might become necessary to install a new XPE image, e.g. to enable the
support of new hardware or software. An update of the XPE image is carried out as follows:
Precondition
ƒ An XPE operating system had already been installed on the target medium of the
industrial PC, so a bootable medium is available.
How to do it:
1. Delete the target medium without formatting it.
– Delete all files and folders on the target medium (e.g. compact flash), except for
the system volume information folder.
– Do not format the target medium, otherwise the boot information will be lost!
– Do not delete the system volume information folder because this directory is
managed by the operating system!
2. Unpack the zip file.
– Unpack the whole contents of the new XPE image from the zip file to the target
medium (e.g. using WinRar or WinZip).
3. Deactivate file compression in the boot loader.
– If the target medium is used with activated file or data medium compression,
respectively (compressed folders and files are usually shown in blue colour), the
file compression of the ntldr file on c:\ of the target medium must be deactivated.
– Deactivation of the file compression:
a. Right−click on "ntldr"
b. Properties
c. Select the advanced button
d. Click to clear the "compress contents to save disk space" check box
e. Then click ok
4. Restart the industrial PC and auto configuration of the image.
– When the industrial PC is restarted for the first time with the new Windows XP
Embedded Image, the image is automatically configured and adapts itself to your
industrial PC.
– The Auto Configuration Mode might restart the industrial PC once again!
