WM 5 on emulator

WM 5 on emulator

• Duane Reno

  yes. You can run the MDE from the command line. If you run it without parameters it will tell you which options you have.  Then you can specify the source image, the resolution etc.

  Come on, I gave you the answer already.  Have you tried to run it from the command line
  
  Here's an example
  
  "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Device Emulator\DeviceEmulator.exe" PPC_2003_SE_VGA\PPC_2003_SE_VGA_WWE_ARMv4.bin /video 800x600x16 /sharedfolder c:\setup\ipaq\backup\temp /memsize 64 /s SE_VGA.dess
  
  All you need to do is change the .bin reference and point to the WM5.bin file

You mentionned you installed the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK.  You should have new nodes under the Smart Devices project node targetting "Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC".  You will need to use those projects to target WM5.0 devices.

  
  
  Correct, I installed the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK for Pocket PC that is referenced on this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/windowsmobile/downloads/default.aspx#wm05
  however, I do not see the "Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC" project type in VS 2005 RC at this time. I have also run the Repair on the above SDK to see if that helps, but it did not.
  
  So, I understand now that Windows CE 5.0 emulator is not the same as Windows Mobile 5.0 Emulator and I need to get that working on my machine. What are the steps to troubleshoot installation of Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC emulator

  Hi ,If you have VS2005 installed then you can start the device emulator manager and (Tools menu) and you will see the images for Windows Mobile show up there.
  
  Thanks

  Do you mean Windows CE 5.0 Project
  I tried it and all forms are sized in weird shape, and menus are positioned in a non-PocketPC standard places. When creating a Wince 5.0 project it did not ask me if I want pocket pc or smartphone. Is there something missing
  
  Also when I tried to debug a test Windows CE 5.0 app it said that failed to connect to emulator. It looks like emulator did not start up.
  
  I have installed Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK.

  As of now, there is no easy way to get the Windows Mobile 5.0 emulator images on a machine that only has the Standalone version of the Device Emulator.  The Emulator team is working on a new standalone version of the emulator that will include WM5.0 images.  However, i do not have an ETA for the next release.
  
  The things I suggest you try is to either install the SDK on a machine that has Visual Studio 2005 installed and manually copy the image to another machine.  If you do not have access to a machine with VS2005, you could try to manually open the MSI with custom tools that deal with MSIs.

  Carl,
  
  I have the same problem on one of my machines, the other machine(s) work fine.
  
  Did you get a resolution
  
  
  
  

• Leandro Rodrigo Saad Cruz

  Yes, the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDKs contain device emulator images.
  
  

• Anibal Acosta

  You need to download the SDKs for Windows mobile 5.0 (PPC and SP) and install them on a machine with Vs 2005 beta 2 or RC. You can get these from
  
  http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyID=83a52af2-f524-4ec5-9155-717cbe5d25ed&displaylang=en 
  
  and
  
  http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyID=dc6c00cb-738a-4b97-8910-5cd29ab5f8d9&DisplayLang=en
  
  Then you can create a WM 5.0 Project and run them in the Windows Mobile 5.0 Emulator .

  I do not have VS installed on my desktop. Is there any way I can get the image working with MS Device Emulator
