Internet Client Services Changes

  • Article

The following changes have been made to Internet client services features:

  • Effective with Windows CE version 4.0, the GenIE Internet browser was replaced with Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.5 for Windows CE. Effective with version 4.2, this browser feature was upgraded to Microsoft® Internet Explorer 6.0 for Windows CE. Also in version 4.2, the Pocket Internet Explorer browser was replaced with a newer version.
  • In version 4.1, support for Passport authentication was added to WinInet. In version 4.2, this feature became a separate Catalog item. To retain the Passport authentication support when migrating from version 4.1 to 4.2, add the SYSGEN_WININET_TWEENER flag to your build.
  • Also effective in version 4.2, the Multi-Language (MLang) feature was divided into separate components. To retain prior functionality replace the SYSGEN_MLANG flag with SYSGEN_MLANG_ALL in your Cesysgen.bat file. For more information, see Internet Explorer 6.0 Implementation Considerations.
