BuildOS Error: Comm Manager already exist

[kin0kin]

I was modding vp3g's rom and when I put another Comm Manager package into SYS and run buildOS, I get the error "Comm Manager already exist". I did a search on OEM and SYS for "comm" and I found nothing about existing comm manager. How could I solve this problem? TIA

Just delete the duplicate file. Its a duplicate file existance error message.

The problem is I did a search in the folders and I found no duplicated files :(

The attached file is what I got after extracting everything off Schap's 10 button comm manager found in his thread. I created the rgu and dsm. I then toss the whole folder into SYS. Then I ran buildOS. At the very end of the process, I got the error.

Do you have your folders hidden not to show the system files? If so, then a search wont find the commanager.exe.

I would put the new Comm Manager files in the OEM folder. Try that and see what happens.

say, i have ao old wince.nls in \SYS\Base
i have an oem package that includes a new wince.nls that i would liek to compile under \Windows as well

other than removing the old wince.nls physically before BuildOS, is there any other way?

This is what you do:
1. go to Start/ programs/System Tools/task manager/
2. Locate CommManager.exe, click on "close".
3. Install the new Comm Mgr of your choice, Do a soft reset... you are good to go.

Nope, windows is not hiding any files, i;ve set it to show all hidden files but still couldnt find it.

@asfoor
What you suggest works if I am trying to install comm manager when the existing comm manager is running in the background but I am not trying to install the comm manager via a cab, i'm trying to cook it into the rom.

what kitchen are you using?

Rename CommManager to Comm Manager and it will then work. There was a similar problem adding touchflo into the Pandora kitchen and this fixed it.
