No doubt this question must have been asked and answered. After googling around I still can' t find the answer though.

I' m trying to run an evb app on the 2003 emulator but as the 2003 runtimes aren' t on the emulator the OS asks for them.

I' ve tried to install them by putting them in the shared folder of the emulator but then realised that the 2003 runtime that I have downloaded is for an arm processor while the emulator is running an x86. Were there 2003 runtimes created for the x86 platform?

I downloaded and installed the images for the emulator but it had no obvious effect.

Is there a solution to this or is the only answer to use an actual 2003 device? Anyone here got a definite answer on this?

Thanks.

Status: offline 		I' m also having problems with 2003... any help would be most appreciated.

Basically, my app runs on an Ipaq 2003 device, using the 2003 runtimes. However, when the user tries to create a data file, the problems start. The problem is with the common dialog control - it appears, and allows the user to enter a data file name, but when the user hits OK, the data file doesn' t get created. It seems as if the control disrupts the execution of some of the code, preventing the data file from being saved. This, unsurprisingly, makes the app fall over.

I have tried downgrading MSCEcomDlg.dll (by copying and overwriting, then registering the control) to the 2002 version, but no joy. This is a big problem, as the file dialog is used several times throughout the app for managing data files.

Has anyone else managed to get the file dialog in MSCEcomDlg.dll working?

The program gives a beep at the expected time and wakes up the device.

When I install that app with the 2003 runtime-files on a iPAQ1940, the device gives the programmed beep, but the display does not wake up out of sleep-mode.

What can be the difference?

Status: offline 		I' ve just narrowed my problem, as described in my earlier post, down to the InitDir property of the common dialog control. I' m now going to play with this, to see if it requires a different format, or whether I have to avoid using it altogether. Certainly, the code worked with 2002, so this is definately a 2003 difference.

Status: offline 		Interesting - I have a similar problem described earlier in the thread where my application calls common dialog to allow users to browse for a .wav file, then returns the file name to my program. On 2003 it doesn' t return the file name.

Also I had a problem with the COMM control - in earlier versions I set the port number to 3 as an arbitrary value if the user hasn' t chosen a port number, so that opening it will throw an error which I trap to throw the user into the settings page. On 2003, the program simply exits without any warning. Changing the value to ' 1' allows the program to continue.

Status: offline 		Alloy - good call on the ' InitDir' thing - removing the definition of this causes my open-dialog to work correcly. It still works on PPC2002, as well. Thanks for the pointer.

Do these run-times only work on Windows Mobile 2003 (Pocket PC 2003) or can they be installed on a system running Windows CE 4.2 that doesn't have Pocket PC 2003 on it?
I have a device with WinCE 4.2 installed, but nothing more...Can I somehow run my eVB projects on it?

Status: offline 		i am facing a few problems when trying to run eVB for pcoketpc2002. first i select pocket pc emulation before i run. the emulator was loaded first with two three files copying over and after about 10 20 seconds. there is an error message

"connection failed error code=0xLx. Make sure your device is connected. you may need to verify your configuration by pressing configure button in project properties. you may also need to reinstall the platform sdk"

i try to run it on the real device but same error message appears. MS activesync is connected. activsync is on version 3.7.1

Status: offline 		Hi,
I have a problem with my evb application. I installed the runtime files and my program to my Asus Mypal A720 device. I converted the database using active sync 3.7.1. and run the program. The form loads at the start but when I choose connect button which uses winsock and wireless network to communicate, the application terminates without an error message showing on the screen. I tried the program on earlier ppc versions and it is working well.

Could someone help me?

you may have to resort to tracing to a text file to see where the program is failing, or using message boxes. If you trace to a file after the winsock.connect and put a trace in the winsock events and see what is happening

Status: offline 		Hi,

I disabled the following lines on connect_click event and then i can proceed.

If Winsock.State <> sckConnected Then
lblInfo.Visible = True
WinSock.Close
WinSock.Connect
End If

In the next frame there is another connect button, when I clicked it the program freezed. I made soft reset. So I think the problem is related with wnsock problem? Could anyone help me how can I run winsock control in windows 2003...

When i install the eMbedded Visual Basic Runtime for Windows Mobile-based Pocket PC 2003, i recevied a message stating

"The program you have installed may not display properly because it was designed for a previous version of windows Mobile software"

Is there a way to disable this message?

Status: offline 		This might have been asked before, but will eVB apps run on a Pocket PC 2003 SE device with the new runtimes installed? I ask this because I was wondering if there was a difference between this and trying to run on the first editions of 2003...

What seems to be the main issues with the new runtimes - are the comm and winsock controls messed up? Is it also possible to revert a 2003 device to 2002?

Matt

Status: offline 		Hi,
it SHOULD do, but there have been reports of combo boxes displaying incorrectly etc.
The runtimes don't include the winsock and comm control I don't think, as they are deployed with your app.

I'm pretty sure you can't go from 2003 to 2002.

Remember, eVB will not run on Windows Mobile 5
