Visual Studio 2005 and Device Emulator Manager

Just installed the final Visual Studio release and the Mobile 5.0 SDK

With the Beta 2, in the Device Emulator Manager, and also in the New Project, we had a direct choice to Mobile 5.0 device, but not anymore why

Ok, I can directly access the DESS files, but I'd like to have a project with WM5.0 VGA settings immediately...

Thanks

Hi Peter

Thanks for your reply

Actually, I installed a the last Visual Studio 2005 on a different computer and after, I installed the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK

But under 'Project types', Visual Basic, I have a 'Smart Device' tree with Pocket PC 2003, Smartphone 2003, Windows CE 5.0....

I thought, after installing the SDK, I would have templates for WM5, as in the beta... is there a way to import these templates from the SDK

Because I can found the DESS file with the Device Emulator Manager and open them..

Under the "Smart Device" Projects node, you should have a "Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC" or a "Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone" node depending on the sdks you have installed. If you do not have that, the sdk installation are not installed properly. The easiest thing to verify is if you have a "Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone SDK" or a "Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK" item in your "Start -> Programs" menu.

DESS files are device emulator save states and can be restored via the device emulator manager. They speed up the launches of the emulator.

The Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK (including the Emulators) is a separate install from VS2005. If you already have it on your machine you may need to run a repair of the installation, alternatively you can download it here:-

I have the Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK item in my start menu, but the project types are still not available. I also did a repair on the SDK.

One note: I installed ActiveSync 4.0 after VS2005RC. Do I need to uninstall everything and install active sync 4, then vs2005, then sdk

After installing the vs2005 pro final the problem went away - I am able to launch and use pocket pc wm5 emulator.

thanks for help!
