Hi,

I have tried to install the Navigator Free software on my
WinCE 5 car head unit, unfortunately that the Unit has not recognized the Navigator.exe
file. And displaying “Not find the Navigation Software”

But I have tried another Navi -Software called City Guide
that was worked fine.

Please Advice.

Hi,

This is just a thought... have you loaded the Navigator Free updater tool onto the head unit, by mistake?

You need to install the update tool onto your main PC, then you launch and use this tool to download the maps you need, along with the core navigation software. Once downloaded and on your PC, you then use the tool to install them onto your WinCE device.

Hi,damith74,
you may be missing some DLLs, see this thread:

HI Jkwatson,

No, did not load the updater tool on to the Head unit. Only download the navigator files via Map Factor Installer 12.0 to SD card.

Thanks

Hi damith74,

I'm using two devices, one with WinCE 6 and one with WinCE 5.

What I did, was to copy the Navigator.exe and renamed it to the name of the old Navigation-System. exe-File.

Maybe, your device is looking for a (e.g.) Route.exe (or whatever xyz.exe), than rename the copied Navigator.exe to that name and start again.

At least, this helped me.

tomas

on some devices you can change path to exe file, if you cannot you need to rename navigator.exe as per crocodilefarm's instructions

damith74

path can change..
Can direct the path to the exe file on SD card

As i told you earlier that Unit support another Navi software with out any hassel..

Unfortunately navigator free is not supporting

Thanks

damith74

damith74

Also I have moved the all files to the folder.. but no luck.

Thanks..

tomas

I think I would start again and install Navigator to a folder on your SD, there are a lot of files which should not be there

damith74

HI tomas,

As your statement I did the same. But no luck.

And I run the same SW in another Unit it was worked fine.
But not on my Unit.

Please find the Unit ID and version below.

ID-4D480000-0000C93B-328FBA10-7F8C204F

VER – 201A0108-2009030220-09030400S7B0A (WINCE@5.0)

Expecting your Advice.

Thank you

tomas

these numbers mean nothing to me, I have no further advice

Hi,

I have installed Navigator 12.1.10 on a Medion P4445, which is a WINCE5 unit. Just checked the provided DLL list against what I have in my Navigator folder.

Additional to what damith74 showed I have the following dlls there:

coredl2.dll, commctrl.dll, conversion.dll, doclist.dll, editor.dll, mfcce300.dll, olece300.dll and ws2.dll

I don't have ws32.dll here.

I'm not 100% sure all of these are really necessary, but that's what I seemed to find out when I installed it long ago.

And Navigator works perfectly here, including TMC

Uli

damith74

Thanks Uli for the comment.

some dll are came with Navigator 12 and some are added by myself.

any way I will try with what you have mentioned dll s, and give you a feedback.

Thanks a lot.

damith74

Hi,

I also still not understand why this only happened to Navigator free Software.

All other software I had tried and all are working fine with out any problem on my car navi unit.

Seeking for your kind assistance and Advice.

Thank you

Uli

The way I understand it, is that WINCE5 comes in different variations. There are some units which come with a full blown WINCE installation. Most however come with a stripped down Windows version adapted just to run the original navigation software.

Now to install a "foreign" software it depends whether that foreign software brings with it all Dlls it needs or relies on the underlying Windows to contain everything else needed.

Obviously Mapsoft Navigator is of the second kind and doesn't install everything it needs with the installation procedure but rather is tailored towards a full WINCE5 or at least some special version.

So it is quite possible other software you installed runs without complaints but Navigator doesn't.

damith74

Thanks Uli

That s mean no luck for me....!

Thank you

tomas

here are the files we were including with some CEs
aygshell.dll
GX.DLL
IMGDECMP.DLL
ZLIB.DLL

problem is that you cannot simply add all four, sometimes it does not work because one or more of them are included, but should not be there
you just need to be patient and systematically try all combinations
good luck

damith74

HI tomas,

Where can I find that dll s?

Thank you

Uli

Hi damith74,

mostly you'll find them with Google.

E.g. look for "MioPocket_3.0_Release_58.zip" or similar.

Uli

Uli

Maybe another helpful hint for people who have missing dll dependencies under WINCE.

There is a free tool by Microsoft called Dependency Walker, latest version 2.2, see www.dependencywalker.com.

Though this tool doesn't run under WINCE, only under "normal" Windows versions on a PC, it is able to analyse WINCE exe files. You only have to tell the program where to find the WINCE libraries, otherwise it searches your PC's library path. Look at the provided help and the FAQ. Easiest way is to copy your WINCE files to a folder on your PC and point the Depends program to that folder.

Hope somebody van use this, Makes finding missing dlls quite easy.

Hi!

You can try this:

1/ Install MIOPOCKET, as new as possible ( http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=136798 ), and run it. It works not only on MIO navigations.

2/ Run any GPS program, and (first use) localise your Navigator12free. exe file.

It works fine on Medion GoPal P4440.
