component DB Image Capture
component Shell script will only work with scripts executable under Windows
component HTTP scripts will work, but OI Windows does not include a web server therefore any scripts included with the OI application will not be served by OI (OI will still attempt to run the script at the provided URL).
all viewer components: www, pdf, video, vnc/rdesktop. New Generic Run component should be used instead.
AB serial communication driver (DF1)
config screen - all system dependent configurations
OI should be started by oi_start.bat which launches oi with -recent -fullscr -nocursor options.
OI Windows is licensed to specific hardware. To unlock OI Windows for your hardware contact AIG.
If OI cannot be started because it is locked then error dialog window displays the message
Error: Bad HW MACOI Windows 7 Embedded Standard systems may need additional USB drivers installed.
Install usbser.sys driver into system since it is missing by default in Windows embedded installation
from menu Start run cmd terminal
unzip usbser_sys.zip
run install.bat from cmd terminal
let system reboot
Install RFIDeas USB to serial driver
RFIDeas support download page: [[https://www.rfideas.com/support/downloads]]
Important note: When using RFID reader with OI touch screen, always plug it into the same USB port. The reader will get a different COM port assigned by Windows for different USB ports it is plugged into requiring the RFID settings in OI to be updated to the new COM port in OI config screen -> User management -> RFID configure.
www viewer (use generic run for full screen or use the Embedded Video Player)
pdf viewer (use generic run to launch)
video viewer (full screen does not work, embedded works)
vnc/rdesktop viewer
Viewer components are not supported in OI for Windows. Generic Run component can be used instead.
Windows virtual keyboard can be used, as described on HowToGeek (opens new window).
Standard windows 7 touchpad drivers can cause issues with push buttons: Window's driver simulates mouse click at the moment touch pad is released (once you take your finger off the touch screen). At first the mouse press event is generated and immediately after that the mouse release event is generated. Push button in OI need some time to be pressed (lets say 100ms) so the write tag is reliably set to its push value. This can be fixed by following options:
Set holdTime to 100ms for each push button in OI app
In Windows control panel - Pen and Touch settings - Touch tab -> disable press and hold settings
Install eGalax Touch driver (opens new window) instead of default Windows driver. This driver is the same we use in Linux and behaves consistently with OI Embedded programs.
Database files are located in c:/oiroot/tmp/db/sqlite.

OI 1.12 Build Feb 08 2023
© 2023
new property ”passwordMode” for: Numeric Input, Numeric Output, Text Input, Text Output
OIB regression fixed: Numeric Input, Numeric Output: scale propery renamed to → numScale and offset property renamed to → numOffset. This was needed because the offset property already exists in some other components (e.g. Image) and it was causing conflicts. Full compatibility with previous versions is maintained.
OIB bugfix: property “numOffset” in numeric components is displayed in property editor again
