Windows Embedded Compact QFEs for February 2015 have arrived!

Hi all,

the February updates for Windows Embedded Compact are available for download:

Windows Embedded Compact 2013 Updates:

Wave 1 (February 2015)

Windows Embedded Compact 2013 Wave 1 update is aimed to provide the customers an enhanced version of WEC2013 code base. It installs the fixes for all the below reported bugs.

Highlights:

·         Due to the large size of the updates, Wave 1 is released as cumulative product update. It will install all the updates that have been released since Compact 2013 was released publicly.

• For our customers with a previous version of Compact 2013  installed, the Wave 1 release will update your installation by removing existing content and installing the new content.
• Depending on your download speeds, the full acquisition of Wave 1 and installation may take several hours.
• Just like previous updates, the Wave 1 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.
