Resolve Dependencies in a Configuration File in Image Configuration Editor (Standard 8)
7/8/2014
Learn how to resolve configuration file dependencies for Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8) by using Image Configuration Editor (ICE).
Image Configuration Editor (ICE) can be used to help you identify dependencies in your configuration file and resolve those dependencies. Unresolved dependencies might prevent your image from functioning correctly. For more information on dependencies, see Dependencies
Prerequisites
To resolve dependencies in a configuration file
In ICE, open or create a configuration file file. For more information, see Create a Configuration File in Image Configuration Editor.
On the Validate menu, click Validate Only.
On the Messages pane, check the Validation tab. If there are no unresolved dependencies, a message is displayed verifying that there are no warnings or errors in your configuration file. Otherwise, the Validation tab will display error or warning messages.
Double-click the first error in the Messages pane that states Dependencies of the source module are not satisfied to open the Resolve Dependencies dialog box for that error.
Note
Unresolved required dependencies generate errors displayed with a red “x” icon next to them. They must be satisfied before your configuration file is considered complete. Optional dependencies generate informational messages displayed with a blue “i” icon next to them. They are not required to be resolved.
For each dependency listed, select the check box or check boxes required to satisfy that dependency. When the dependency has been resolved, (Resolved) will appear next to the listing.
When all dependencies have been satisfied, click OK. If the error is resolved, the Messages pane will display the error as struck through.
Note
Resolving dependencies for one module may also resolve dependencies for other modules. We recommend that you validate your configuration file again each time you resolve a dependency to be sure you have the most up-to-date information. This will also help prevent you from inadvertently adding a module to your configuration file more than once as the Messages pane does not automatically refresh the status of all messages.
Continue this process until all dependency errors are resolved.
