emBedded Visual Basic Runtime for WM 6.1 - General Questions and Answers

Hey
I am new at this board but I hope that you can give me an answer to my problem. I´d like to run "Max Tilbergs A Viking Saga" (For those who´ve never heard about it: It´s a game for PPc )
The Installation is no problem but when i try to start it there came a window and say that it is important to install the "emBedded Visual Basic Runtime" for this prog. So i googled for this but i found only a version for windows 2003 of this programm. I tried to install this version - nothing changed.
Maybe someone could help me with this little problem .
MfG
Tobi
P.S.: sorry for my bad english

Hi,
the file from typhur worked for me (but not on storage card). "A Viking Saga" works now

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

How can i develope software for WM6 on Visual studio with C++

Hi all,
I have installed Visual studio 2005, and wanted to start building application for WM6 based pocket PCs...
in the VB.Net section, there is separate section, for smart devices but in the VC section there is nothing like, that, i want to improve my VC skill as VB i am using past 4 yrs, and developed nice applications..
Kindly suggest me that how can i start with VC in visual studio 2005.
If you are aware of some resource web site, where i can get some basic tutorials, and all, that will be appreciated..
Thanks a lot..
you have to install the wm6 stk then you get a smartdevice "dir" under visual c++

i have already installed WM5 SDK, as i did not find any WM6 SDK,
is there any resource, where basic instruction are given. So I can start with..
And also i read some where for pocketPc i mean WM6 mobiles, we cant create App in VC++, we must use vb.net or c#.. is that true...
as under VC++ there are smart device plug ins but could not create project... that give more rise to suspicion,... please help..
thats how it looks in my new project
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms838270.nativedevicedev01(en-us,msdn.10).gif
apart from my visual c++ is located under other languages
Attention..
to develop an app for WM6 you have to install SP1 for Visual Studio 2005 first.. then you can add the "feature" to dev WM6 Apps

i couldn't run duke nukem1 it says:
"dos/16m error:[15]protected mode available only with 386 or 286"

Forget about it. PocketDOS emulates the XT systems with VGA display. I ran it on my QTEK 9100 and I could run MS-DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.0
Windows 95 requires 32 bits systems and it does not run on PocketDOS.
then what other dos emulators are there to suport win 95?
thank you scypax
you're welcome.if you have any questions post them here

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!

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?

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.
