| Hello! Does anyone happen to have CE 5 x86's wceload.exe lying around? My device is missing it tragically |

| It's not what you wanted, but I may be getting warmer:
Found two posts, none of which actually have the wceload file (at least for x86 ) but go into how to deal with it when you do find it
https://www.reddit.com/r/wceload/comments/iu0krk/how_to_find_downloa...
This link has an archive of wceload for various devices, but only presumably ARM / Netbook / GPS etc I doubt it has x86
https://www.hpcfactor.com/support/cesd/200222/how_to_add_the_cab_ins...
And here's the source of it all^
Edit: I've thought of another idea too. Have you thought of looking up HP or Wyse Windows CE 5.0 ROM flashers and somehow unpack the /Windows directory to grab the x86 wceload out of there? Edited by torch 2022-10-30 5:44 AM

| I actually tried to extract one of the HP thin client CE images but it's a strange proprietary compression that fails when I try to extract it. I'll try one of the Wyse ones next |

| Does anyone have an operational HP thin client that they could copy the wceload.exe off perhaps? |

| I don’t think the CE6 version would work. If you find me a CE5 image for the HP t5540, I’ll flash and get you the file . (Supposedly it supports CE5 too) |

I wasn't able to find a 5540 image, but perhaps this'll work..? It can be flashed with the /xb switch, which ignores that it's not the same model |

| I need your help - how do I flash with the /xb switch?
I already have the USB prepared and flashed to attempt this for you - I couldn't figure it out |

| I believe there's a batch file as part of the USB files with a command that runs on ibr.exe, add the /xb switch to that |

| Mine only has: FLASH.ibr, IBR.exe, KERNEL.sys, and a recovery pdf
It doesn't boot from the USB, and in CE6, it says the license isn't valid (obvious because diff model)
Do you know how I could bypass within CE?
I don't know how to do the network share install way, so I was hoping to just do with the USB.
Also, IsoBuster supposedly supports extracting the .ibr files, but when I installed/tried it, it said I needed to register to enable that functionality |

That's weird, did you format it with the HP tool? It makes the USB bootable and adds DOS files |

| Yeah I did that
Can you try it for a usb and let me know the directory structure ? Edited by torch 2022-11-04 4:25 PM

| Can you enable hidden and system files for me? I believe they might just be hidden on your USB |

| Hmm. It doesn't show anything with hidden files enabled. Perhaps I'm missing something? |

Did you uncheck "hide system files" too? |
