Windows Embedded Compact 7 Monthly Update December 2014:

Wave 2 (December 2014)

Windows Embedded Compact 7 Wave 2 update is aimed to provide the customers an enhanced version of WEC7 code base. It installs the fixes for all the below reported bugs.

Highlights:

Due to the large size of the updates, Wave 2 is released as cumulative product update. It will install all the updates that have been released since Compact 7 was released publicly.

For our customers with a previous version of Compact 7 installed, the Wave 2 release will update your installation by removing existing content and installing the new content.

Depending on your download speeds, the full acquisition of Wave 2 and installation may take several hours.

Just like previous updates, the Wave 2 update can rollback to a previous update. This will take more time than usual as the previously release installation packages will need to be reacquired.
