  • You clone the Calibrui module for a Windows Embedded Compact 7-based image in Platform Builder.
  • You build the image.

In this scenario, you receive the following error message in the build log:

'C:\WINCE700\public\common\oak\Bin\i386\SysgenMake.EXE' : return code
'0xc0150004'
Note You may also receive a different error message when you try to build a Windows Embedded Compact 7 image by using platform builder. For more information about that error message, see the "More Information" section. Be aware that this update does not resolve that error message.

More Information

When you try to build a Windows Embedded Compact 7 image by using platform builder, there is a very remote possibility that you may receive the following error message:
The environment block used to start a process cannot be longer than 65535 bytes. Your environment block is 72706 bytes long. Remove some environment variables and try again.

Note The actual environment block size (72706 in this case) is variable and depends on your specific computer and settings.

To work around this problem, take one or more of the following actions:
  • Reduce unwanted Sysgen variables from the project.
  • Change folder names, solution names, and so on to reduce the directory path lengths that are used. 
  • Reduce unwanted locales from the project.

These workarounds will in effect reduce the environment variable size and help you keep the environment variable block size under 65535 bytes.
