WEC 2013 trouble to start application

  • Hello

    I tried to upgrade on of our module NDCUA5 from WCE 6 to WEC 2013

    The upgrade step went without problem but now I am unable to run any exe file on it.

    the configuration is as follow


    00 "SRC_SRSR"=dword:262144 \

    01 "RestartReason"=string:Software \

    02 "KernelVersion"=string:NetDCUA5 V2.09 \

    03 "KernelVersionDate"=string:Apr 4 2018 \

    04 "KernelVersionTime"=string:10:40:01 \

    05 "StepStone Loader, Version"=dword:875646550 \

    06 "BoardType"=dword:2 \

    07 "BoardName"=string:NetDCUA5 \

    08 "BoardRevision"=dword:120 \

    09 "BootVerMajor"=dword:1 \

    10 "BootVerMinor"=dword:5 \

    11 "F3SSerial"=string: \

    12 "CompatMode"=dword:0 \


    I do not have any display connected therefore I try to launch my application via telnet


    When I try to start CERDISP.exe I got the following message

    Cannot execute \cerdisp.exe

    And this is the same with any .exe files

    Do I need special setting to run application on WEC2013 ?

  • Hello,


    WEC2013 is *not* binary compatible to previous WEC/WCE versions. So you have to recompile your code with VS2012/13/15.


    Nevertheless, cerdisp should be preinstalled on a WEC2013 System!

  • I have launch the cerdisp at startup incuding it under the init registery

    The process is running (I check it under the shell gi proc)

    But on the computer side the cerhost does not detect the module.

    If I enter the IP address of the module the connection does no established.

    Is there some more configuration required?

  • Hello t4science,


    you have to launch "cerdisp" with a command line. This is not possible under HKLM/init! Launch "cerdisp -c" will broadcast the ip-address. Use startup feature (refer DeviceDriverDoc) with cmd or lnk file for do this *or* write an onw program which launches "cerdisp -c".

    As far as i remenber you can also adjust ip-adresse via registry. I will check it and come back.

  • Hello t4science,


    sorry no other relevant command line options or Registry settings in our case.

    So use "cerdisp -c"
