hi,

can anybody tell me the details regarding the installation of embedded
Visual C++, for pocket pc application development? i wish to know the latest
version to be used, service pack, the latest emulators, the latest active
sync version etc. any other thing that i have to install or take care of
during the installation (even though it is purely application dependent)?

Kindly extend your help,

regards,

Getting the latest of everything should work.

eVC

ActiveSync (8.0 although I am still on 7.1 so can't vouch for the latest):

SDK:

Obviously you will pick an SDK that matches the PPC you are targeting. You
haven't said what PPC so I have assumed the latest. If it is an older
version (e.g. one based on WinCE 3.0) you will need eVC 3.0 (they can all
co-exist on the same machine)

FYI, there is an eVC ng here:
microsoft.public.windowsce.embedded.vc

Thank you so much. I am using the hp ppc (hp iPAQ H2210) with Microsoft
Pocket PC version 4.20.0 . So I think, I can use eVC 4.0 with sp 4.

Thanks for ur updates regarding the eVC newsgroup :))

I have windows XP Professional with SP 2 installed. I installed eVC4
with SP3. I basically want to develop and test applications with CE
emulator. Doesn't eVC4 comes with SDK for CE emulator and if so
shouldn't I able to launch eVC without installation of any further SDK?

Anyways at this point when I try to launch eVC it gives following
error.
"Microsoft embedded Visual C++ has discovered no CE platform SDK
installed on desktop. Please install at least one CE platform SDK
before launching Microsoft embedded Visual C++".

So I downloaded and installed Handheld PC Professional 3.0 Software
Development Kit. After that although I can run Deskhop handheld pro
emulator that came with SDK but when I try to launch eVC it still keep
reporting the same error.

Any idea what I am missing?
 
The HPC SDK is for eVC 3.0. For eVC 4.0 you need either the PPC 2003 SDK or
n SDK for a specific device (emulator is a device). I think there was a
STANDARDSDK option with eVC 4.0, though I never installed it, so I can't say
if it had emulator support or not.
 
Yes, there's a Standard SDK for Windows CE 4.2 (not sure about the .2)
available on the eVC 'disk'. The Standard SDK doesn't represent *any* real
device, so you'll quite likely find something missing that you really want.
The right thing to do is to get a real SDK for your real device and, if it
has an emulator, use that until you buy the real device...
