SYMPTOMS
The configuration that you use to build an image may contain components that were included in Microsoft Windows XP Embedded updates that were released after Windows XP Embedded with Service Pack 1. When you build this image, incorrect files may be included, or files may be missing. This problem affects all hotfix packages that are released specifically for Windows XP Embedded with Service Pack 1, and does not affect any components or hotfix packages for Windows XP Embedded or any existing components for Windows XP Embedded with Service Pack 1.



CAUSE
There is a problem in the way that Windows XP Embedded with Service Pack 1 handles repository lookups. The incorrect repository may be searched for the required file resources. When the incorrect repository is searched, the files are reported missing, or the incorrect files are found and included.
