I'm currently busy with building a Max application (.exe) that is supposed to run on an Embedded windows XP insatallation.

The problem I am facing is the following:

When I run my application on the Embedded device MaxRT is not able to find any of the objects (not even comments, number bocxes, etc...) which should already be included in the .exe

The application also can't find the Java installation which is properly installed and runs perfectly through a windows shell.

My guess is that MaxRT is using a certain Windows Service which is not included in my Embedded XP image.

I was wondering whether anyone in the community had a similar problem. Maybe someone from cycling would already know which services I need to include in my image.

The application also can't find the Java installation which is properly installed and runs perfectly through a windows shell.

I have managed the problem. The problem was due to the Embedded XP image I have rather than Max.

I was installing Quicktime and Java in the background (silent). Although the files were being copied, the installer wasn't setting the PATH correctly. Once I installed them manually the application just worked fine.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of device are you running this 

on? I am always interested in compact devices that I can run

Max on.

The device is Portwell Wade 8065. It is basically a laptop (w/ core 2, 2GB Ram, etc..). You can get more information on the device from portwell's web site.

I could even install regular XP on it but for certain performance and code protection issues I need to use XPe.

But getting Max up and running required me to add bunch of Windows components to my Embedded image thus I believe it would not be possible to run Max on a smaller device ( especially if it's not based on Win or Mac).

I also would like to run max on a xpe machine, I have tried to get this working but without any luck so far. For now I'm using a pe builder to get a slimmed down xp, but I would love to get the xpe working. Could you pleas spare some tips on how to get this done?

You just need to make a component of Quicktime and Java.

Using the FBA you can install these apps after the first reboot.

I build an exe out of my max patch. And make that a "shell prototype component" which, once the system is boot up, launches the application.

P.S. rather than PE Builder one could also use Bart PE which is a great.
