A Note on Using
the High-performance Embedded Workshop
--On Updating the AutoUpdate Utility--

Please take note of the following problem in installing or updating the High-performance Embedded Workshop, an integrated development environment:
  • On updating the AutoUpdate utility


  1. Product Concerned
    The High-performance Embedded Workshop V.4.00.02 (bundled with any software package) and the one updated from any previous version using the update program are concerned.


  2. Description
    In the host PC where Windows 98 SE or Windows Me is running and either the High-performance Embedded Workshops V.4.00.00 or V.4.00.01 resides, the AutoUpdate utility may not correctly be updated if any software product containing the High-performance Embedded Workshop V.4.00.02 is installed or the existing High-performance Embedded Workshops is updated to V.4.00.02 using the update program.

    If the AUTOUPDA.EXE file is found in the Package\HEW\AutoUpdate folder,* it indicates that the AutoUpdate utility has not correctly been updated yet.

    *   For folder name "Package" above, read the folder name where your software product containing the High-performance Embedded Workshop V.4.00.02 has been installed.


  3. Workaround
    Update the AutoUpdate.exe file by going through the following steps:
    (1)   Make the AutoUpdate utility non-memory-resident.
    To do so, right-click the AutoUpdate utility icon (residing in Windows' task bar) to open a pop-up menu and then select the Close command.
    (2)   Delete the AutoUpdate.exe file, which exists in the Package\HEW\AutoUpdate folder.
    (3)   Rename the AUTOUPDA.EXE file, which also resides in the above folder, AutoUpdate.exe.


  4. Schedule of Fixing the Problem
    We plan to fix this problem in the next release of the software packages containing the High-performance Embedded Workshop.
