Use Info for EZ-Download

[ZapMe1]

Could someone tell me where I can find instructions on using EZ-Download ??

I haven't used this up until now, (I know many of you have), but I would like to try some experiments !!

The .txt file that comes with the program download is un-readable to me !!

Thanks.....  

Edit:   Sorry,  Maybe this should have been posted in "Help & Support" !!

  Do you mean use it to download the file via HTTP within TP?

This will not be a straight forward answer.  

The way I did to download the radar image, for example, is to call EzDownload from an exe.

To prepare this exe, you have to download the EVC 4++ and 2003SDK (free from MS) the whole package into PC and write a code to call EzDownload using CreateProcess code.

The link to download eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 is

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1dacdb3d-50d1-41b2-a107-fa75ae960856&displaylang=en

You also need to install some other stuffs, sorry I forgot what are they..  Once you install evc4 and execute it, it will tell you what do you miss and you can go to Microsoft site to download it.  However, if you have Visual Studio 2003.Net then you don't need to do that.

Then, you have to learn Embedded Visual C++.  I am also a beginner and really can not help you too much.  What I did is to browse the internet to find the answer for my question.  Man, that was not easy.

If you decide still go for it.  Try to install the necessary program first and I do my best to help you.  But remember I don't know much than you do.

WOW !!!!!   Who forgot to put the EZ in the whole mix !!  

Maybe I'll still give it a try !!   I have MS Visual C++ 6.0 & SDK '03...

I just thought the process was much simpler !!    

Thanks UK......

Wow indeed!  So did I.  I was baited for a bit but now..  Think I'll sit it out for awhile.

EzDownload itself is EZ but to pair with TP...that is a different story, at least for me.  For this moment, this is a way I can get file download and pair with TP...

Let me know whe you are ready...

Hi UK,

I thought I had SDK 2003, but I have SDK 2002, which is for ppc2002 OS..
According to MS, SDK2002 goes with EVC 3.0++

Do you know if I can use EVC4.0++ with 2002 OS, or do I need to download 3.0 ??

I appreciate your help !!

With a slight modification, you can use EVC4.0 to complier a code for PPC2002.  But I believe you need to use 2003SDK for EVC4.  Are you still using PPC2002?  So I would suggest you to download EVC 4.  You said you have MS Visual Studio 6.  If you know how to use it then I believe you can use it to complier the program for PPC.  However, I never used it and really can not help you.

I am using ppc2002..   Would I be better to use EVC 3.0++ & SDK 2002 ??

Edit - Update:  I did a little research, and found out that EVC 4.0++ will not work to develope for ppc2002...   And if that wasn't bad, I found out that EVC 3.0++ needs Windows NT or Windows 2000 to function...   I'm running on XP !!!

Rotlus showed me an approach to complier codes for ppc2002 in EVC4++ and it worked.  So, it can be done.

 I lost the original information Rotlaus gave me but I found this link in German.  But I think I can figure it out.  Or Wichtel or anyone speak German can help us...

Hi UK;

Well I tried it anyway, and downloaded the EVC 3.0++ tool set which includes SDK2002..
I tried it on my XP, and it seems to work just fine..  (It was almost 2am, so I was a little tired)
But, I think I'm Good-To-Go !!
