Migrating a Gateway (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/5/2010

The Gateway support in Windows CE 5.0 has been greatly expanded from the Gateway support in Windows CE .NET 4.2. A user interacting with the Gateway UI will notice a significant amount of additional functionality — such as Parental Controls — and a more refined UI. The name of the gateway UI has been changed from admin2.dll to remoteadmin.dll.

For Windows CE 5.0, the location of some of the Catalog items that are included in a Gateway OS design has changed. The following table shows these changes.

Catalog Item Location in 4.2 Location in 5.0

Communication Services and Networking\Networking Features\Internet Connection Sharing

Communication Services and Networking\Networking Features\Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)

SYSGEN_REMOTEADMIN does not exist in Windows CE 5.0. To migrate an OS design that uses SYSGEN_REMOTEADMIN to Windows CE 5.0, define SYSGEN_REMOTECONFIG_FRAMEWORK.
