Sounds like you might need to install the eMbedded Visual Basic Runtime for Pocket PC 2003!
eMbedded Visual Basic Runtime for Pocket PC 2003 can be found at;
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/resources/downloads/developer/evb.mspx
As far as the list goes one was started here on this forum some months ago, so trying doing a search on the subject.
HTH

It would have been handy to have a compatability settings like xp where you can choose to run a program under 95 compatability for example.

Qman
thanks but i have the source of that hp48 emu prog and it being c++ makes me think that more then vb dll's will be required to solved
if only i had the embeddet visual studio for 2003 i could try and find a fix because from what i can read on the site of that hp48 last time they did any work were like 2001 or something

any tools for hacking the restriction code of Palm750(sfr)?

any tools for hacking the restriction code of Palm750v(sfr)?
p.s: I am a rookie of smartphone,and i dont know how to install software in the phone. can somebody help? thks

well its not a smart phone its a ppc phone... that could help with installing programs.. and can you be more specific in your question?

@Kr3st Smartphone is a generic term for any phone that has computer or pda functionality. Don't let Microsoft's redefinition of an already defined term confuse you. (search wikipedia for smartphone if you don't believe)
@ddsoft Most software for the Palm750 or other Windows Mobile 5 (WM5) devices comes as part of a windows installer. You first need to install Microsoft Activesync on your computer. Most WM5 programs come with a windows installer and have a .exe ending. If it has an .exe ending, run it on your desktop computer (after installing Activesync) It will lead you through the installation and tell you that it will be installed on your mobile device the next time it is synchronized. (In this case with the USB cable that came with your Treo).
Less often you might find a program that is downloadable as a .cab file. Cab files do not have windows installers and need to be copied to the Treo. When you click on the .cab file in "file explorer" you will be greeted with a simple install screen.
What restriction code do you mean?

Thks for helping. For the Activesync that comes with my treo, I just find it useless for me. Well I mean I never spot an programe of .exe. And for the cab files, I did download a lot from the websites, but when I launch them in my treo, my treo indicates that it can't extract them. So i have been thinking about whether I have made a mistake or sth...
For the restriction code, what i mean is that the phones here in French are all locked by their companies. For example, a phone that sold in SFR could be just used with a SFR sim carte,not the Orange or others. So i have been checking a lot of these stuffs, finally i heard that there is a code called "restriction code" . By hacking it, we could use any other sim cartes from all the companies. So i wonder if someone have a tools for it...
Thanks.

I want to make programs for HTC Touch Pro (WM 6.1)

Hey guys,
I am a programmer at heart and have developed in many different languages(C,C++,Java,PHP,ASP...). I want to begin developing applications for the Touch Pro (WM 6.1) but I have no idea where to start. My biggest fear is downloading the WM 6.1 emulator messing around with it for weeks only to find out that's not what I should have been using. Can anyone give me some pointers as to where I should start? Are there any tutorials out there for programming for this phone?
I also noticed that the WM 6.1 emulator didn't support the 480x640 resolution that the HTC Touch Pro uses...
Thanks!

I use Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 + Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK + Windows Mobile 6.0 SDK to develop....and this book "Programming Microsoft Windows CE .NET, Third Edition". Its for c/c++, from basics to create drivers, services, etc

Do you know of an emulator for the HTC Touch Pro? I downloaded a program that I know works, and was able to compile and run it on my phone but when I tried to run it with the emulator it was missing the HTCSensorSDK.dll file... something fairly new i presume. I tried default emulator and the Windows Mobile 6 Professional VGA emulator but I was wondering if there was one available for this phone yet.

I want to know the same thing
If/when you find an answer to this I would love to hear about it or see a post on it. Thanks.

There's no such thing as a software-only emulator for the Raphael's hardware, that would be incredibly complex to create for such a task
What the developers use is called a "Board Support Package" - it basically contains all the raphaels hardware, in a PCI card that gets installed in a slot in the computer.. that way all the drivers, etc can be loaded and everything can be tested as it would be on the phone itself.
There's pretty much not a chance in heck of you getting one of those (although if you do, send one my way, I would love to have one )
The emulators are useful for testing generic software that does not tie into any of the features that require raphael hardware. There should also be emulator images to support all resolutions (qvga square, qvga, vga, not sure about wvga/wqvga)
And, here's the link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...52-f89e-4354-84ce-5d19c204498a&displaylang=en
Looks like it does in fact come with wqvga and wvga emulators
Note that you can use an emulator kitchen to add SOME of the htc stuff to the ROM image, but none of the drivers that support the htc hardware will function.

what can i run on windows mobile 2002?

i just picked up an old pda for cheap but it runs windows mobile 2002. I know some of you guys have had windows mobile for years so what are some good programs / games that run on windows mobile 2002 and 32mb of ram?

why dont you try simple games like solitaire and bubble breaker
they will work i think....not so sure

most programs run even on pocketpc2000
it's binary code for the arm cpu
most apps don't use special wm5, wm6 features

well most of the programs that i have tried dont work. i am thinking that they are dependent on some dll files that are included in windows mobile 5+
but most of the programs that i have tried dont work. such as kevtris 2 pocket lemmings pocket quake vista hide battery gage vexed. when i try to open them most of them say x is not a valid pocket pc applacation

Some of the above programs are written in CF .NET, in which case you will need the matching version of the CF .NET framework installed on your machine. Programs that were written in Win32 Embedded C++ and compiled for an ARMv4 target should run fine.

hmm keep talking, so i need .net cf for windows mobile 2002? right?
http://www.microsoft.com/downloadS/...11-194b-4c00-b445-f92bec03032f&displaylang=en
is this the right one?
thanks

The version of the .NET CF runtime has to match that of the compiled program. To find out which version, you can use something like RedGate's .NET Reflector to open the executable.
In the mscorlib section, the version will be given as 2.0.0.0 or similar, in this case Version 2.0 of the .NET CF.
It will need the version 2.0 of the .NET CF Runtime. They can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...6b-356b-4a2c-857c-e62f50ae9a55&displaylang=en
Other version of the .NET CF exist, i.e 3.0 and 3.5, it depends on which version of VS it was developed, and how it was configured to create the .EXE
I put a similar post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487533

TY for that info. at the compact frameworks all inclusive? can i just install 3.5 and call it good? or do i have to install each one? can i have more than one framework installed at the same time?
thanks for your help

"when i try to open them most of them say x is not a valid pocket pc applacation"
getting wm6.1 would most likely not help you there
as that error msg is the std error msg one gets when one
try to run a pc activesync installer app directly on the pda
you have to run them on the pc with the pda connected to activesync
i had both lemmings and quake1-2 running on pocketpc2003 without any problems
installs directly on pocketpc are never! exe's or msi's always cab's
all other installs are don on pc

not trying to be rude but I know how to use the installers. i am talking about windows mobile 2002 not 2003.

Bit late to update this post, but here goes.
The .NET Compact Frameworks are 'supposed' to be backwardly compatable i.e version 1 and 2 .NET exes should run under .NET 3.0 and later if their own framework is not installed on the device.
In practice there are a lot of ifs and buts. Run it, and see if it works. If not you will need the matching framework installing. It is almost impossible to predict what will and will not work.

How do I use Windows Mobile apps on a Windows CE 6.0 device?

I just bought a Windows CE 6.0 device called the A81 MID that has the following specs
7 inch 800x480 lcd screen
Arm Cortex A8 600mhz
256mb ram
WinCE 6.0
I bought this thinking since i can use alot of wince apps on WM phones it would work the other way around too
Im trying to install Skyfire and Opera on the device because IE sucks on this device.
Every time I try to install a .cab ile I get the error "not a valid windows ce setup file"
Whats strange is that a lot of programs i have that is designed to run on WinCE won't open on 6.0 either
one example was FinalBurn CE .14, nothing happens when i open the .exe
Even the classic CAB installer to manage cabs from self destructing when installing fails to open and gives me the error "not a valid windows CE application"
Is this problem unique to this device or to WinCE 6.0?

The CAB files include some information saying on which platform and/or version of the OS it can be installed. IMO this is the only issue that prevents the application to be installed on your notebook, and this will also result in the error message you wrote. It's the same message that appears for instance when you try to install an application that requires WM 6 on a PPC 2003 device.
Since WM is based on Windows CE it's usually no problem running WM applications on Windows CE, unless you don't access any telephony APIs or any other similar stuff explicitly available only on the WM platforms.
So you can just go ahead and extract the files and registry settings from the CAB and install them manually, or re-create the CAB with different version requirements. If it doesn't work then I dare to say it's 100% the reason that some special WM APIs are used.
I managed to run some WM application on a Windows CE emulator. They are actually working fine, though the GUI doesn't look very good because they are optimized for Mobile phone screens and not adapted to the Windows CE "Desktop" OS.
I also have a Windows CE notebook and I'm planing on porting Nitrogen to it. If I have the time. Some day. Eventually. Yes.
Edit: problem of some WinCE applications not running on your machine might be that they are designed for WinCE 5. WinCE 6 has a re-designed kernel and some APIs are obsolete.... It's the same problem that will happen when we'll be switching from WM 6 to WM 7.

any ideas on how i can extract the registry and files? ive tried a couple of cab extractor and they all end up giving files with weird names and extensions such as skyfir34580.001 and other rubbish like that. Winrar gives me even worst filenames. is there any kind of tutorial you can point me too? i have no programing skills so porting would be way over my head.
have you had anyluck installing skyfire 1.5 or opera 10 on a wince device? also have you ever gotten finalburn to run on your wince devices?

thx for the explication RAMMANN --
i plan to buy a windows ce '7" mini netbook' and i want to use all WM6/6 progs from PPC (if hardware supports it, of course)
