Hi Folks,
I was trying to update my Windows Embedded Compact 7
installation today. However, Windows Embedded Developer Update
(WEDU),
the updater for Windows Embedded Compact 7, fails acquiring “Shared Source Update Wave 1” (SharedSource_w1.msi). The Wave 1 update is the March 2013 QFE for Windows Embedded Compact 7.
Unlike the other components that WEDU is trying to acquire,
the “Shared Source Update Wave 1”
has the download option grayed out
and the only option available is Cancel
which aborts the entire update process or Browse
to the file on your disk. The reason that this file is not available for public
download via WEDU is that it contains the original “Shared Sources” installer and all previous patches to this
component.
If this also happens to you there are 3 possible ways to
solve this issue:
1. If
you have an MSDN subscription,
download the ISO file Windows
Embedded Compact 7 – March 2013 (x86 and x64) - DVD (English) (about 8
GB) it contains the missing file. Once you mounted the ISO, in WEDU
browse to the SharedSource_w1.msi in
the W1 folder on the disk.
2. Contact
your distributer and ask for the DVD containing the Wave 1 update. Apparently the ISO
image that you can obtain from MyOEM seems to be corrupted.
3. Uninstall
the “Shared Sources” option and run WEDU again.
Have fun!

Hi Raja kr,
ReplyDeletethanks for your comment. Your Problem seems to be exactly the same except that you need the following ISO file either from your MSDN subscription or through your distributor/MyOEM portal: "Windows Embedded Compact 7 - December 2014 (x86 and x64) - DVD (English)"
