This may be a dumb question, but is it possible to run the emulator without Visual Studio .Net?

I'm thinking this would be nice for testing or proof of concept.

thanks

Gordo, unfortunately the emulators are dependent on Visual Studio. If I can find a way, I will post it, but it doesn't look good.

what about embedded visual c++? the pocket pc sdk asks for it, but can go without it.

Romeo, have you tried this? I have not, but it would be good to see the setup steps if you have

I'm having trouble syncing the PPC Emulator. When I go to active sync on the virtual PPC It does not see any workstations to sync with. I can get to the internet on the PPC and ebven start a terminal server session so I know the network interface is working. Anyone have any ideas? Am I not doing something right?

Gordo: I'm testing that right now. If it works I'll post again saying it works

Same problem as Bill, network connectivity is there but can't synch. Not even serial...

Finally have the answer(S)

The way this whole thing is documented sucks. The Developer boys and MS need to get their act together. Articles are poorly linked and only a handful of people have managed to make this work.

Here it is (well ActiveSync over the network anyway): If using VS .NET 2003, use these tools:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=74473FD6-1DCC-47AA-AB28-6A2B006EDFE9&displaylang=en#filelist

and follow the instructions.

If using eMbedded Visual C++ you will need a null serial cable and connect your two serials ports.

If not, you will need to run emuascfg /PPC from the command line (search for the file). This sets up your emulator image to synch over the network.

Stefan has some troubles to install the Pocket PC Emulator. It really ain´t that easy, even without the extra Virtual-PC-with-Windows-XP-on-a-Mac hurdle Stefan took. 400 MB for an emulator. Doesn´t seem there´s so much space in such a small device. :-)
