I've spent a whole day trying to get this to work maybe someone else has been more successfull.

I can get Active Sync to connect to the Pocket PC 2003 Emulator. I've sent and received outlook mail via the emulator. The active sync connection appears to work.

I want to install the free Acrobat Reader for Pocket PC on the Emulator to test the display of pdf files on the device. Adobe has 4 install files posted. One labeled for each of PPC2002, ARM, MIMS, SH3. I tried each one and even a 3rd party PDF reader for Pocket PC and consistently received the same error message from the Active Sync. The device connected (the Emulator) does not support the application. The install will proceed with a compatible device is connected.

Can anyone solve this problem? Is there a setting on the Emulator that lets me control what its emulating (arm, mims, sh3)

Thanks to all

Apologies, but I can't get this to post in a more appropriate newsgroup. the interface is not accepting the newsgroup I selected.
 
Your are out of luck - Adobe have not compiled a version for the emulator (x86). The emulator is an x86 implementation of Windows CE and cannot be tweaked to emulator a different processor

As an example, the only reason SQL Server CE runs in the emulator is there is a version which comes with VS.NET 2003 (in the x86 directory below wce300 and wce400), as can be seen in the VS.NET 2003 CF CAB directories
\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\v1.0.5000\Windows CE\wce300\x8
