I'm having problems with the MSI installer for the .NET MF serializer support.

1) the MSI doesn't appear to install the PE file, and that leads to build errors.

2) the MSI includes old versions of the Microsoft assemblies.  I suspect you shouldn't be shipping the MS assemblies, since they are installed with the .NET Micro Framework SDK and the ones you provide aren't current.

I've since found the source for the serializer library and rebuilt it, so now I can proceed, but your MSI is still broken in multiple ways...

Same problem here, when I tried to use the SerializerLibMF.dll, compiling resulted in error about missing SerializerLibMF.pe file that could not be copied. The one that came with Visual Studio solution worked fine though. I wouldn't even bring this up otherwise but I'm currently making a simple emulator for Traxster. When I try to add the emulator files as reference to my test project I get the same kind of error about missing .pe files (only about even more files) when compiling.

Anyone know if they should be generated automatically or should I be able to do it manually? The SerializerLibMF solution has them so I'm assuming that either there's a way to do it or I'm doing something wrong.

Hey guys...

I don't know how this one slipped by me.  I just saw it because John posted.

I will investigate this and get it fixed tonight.   I aplogize for the extreme delay in my response!

Just to clarify the problem I'm having... when I build my emulator project there are no .pe files generated at all but it compiles without errors. But using the emulator project as reference doesn't work since I get compile errors for several missing .pe files like .pe and Microsoft.SPOT.Emulator.pe. Nevertheless Visual Studio 2005 solution for SerializerLibMF has a bunch of them like .pe and Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware.pe so I'd be a really happy camper if someone could explain how these files are created (or why my solution doesn't do it).

Problem solved partially. I managed to work my way around it by creating a new library project and then adding it as reference to both emulator and the project using the emulator. This way I didn't get any errors for missing .pe files. I guess it's okay as long as it works.

I just talked to Sean Liming (SJJ Micro), and he said we definitely didn't need to provide any of the following in our installer.

  • Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware.pdbx
  • Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware.pe
  • Microsoft.SPOT.Native.pdbx
  • Microsoft.SPOT.Native.pe
  • SJJ_HardwareProvider.pdbx
  • SJJ_HardwareProvider.pe>

Also, I haven't played around with the emulator, since our stuff is meant to be used with the SJJ Micro EDK Plus kit.

 

So, I'm about to update the project, and put it out on the site.  I apologize for the inconvenience!

 

Best Regards!
