Follow these rules to test Windows Mobile 2005 on the Pocket PC emulator:
1. Download the
Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK for Pocket PC
2. Extract the SDK to a folder on your hard drive by running "msiexec /a "Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK.msi"".
3. Locate in the installed files "PPC_USA.bin" and copy it to the folder where your actual emulator images are. (The ROM size is 20 Mgs).
4. Run: deviceemulator PPC_USA.bin /skin Pocketpc_2003_skin.xml /memsize 128
Windows Mobile 2005 running:
FiveWin for Pocket PC running on Windows Mobile 2005:
The Windows Mobile 2005 emulator needs more time to load and its slower, but now we can check FWPPC on it too

Antonio, for your health, I think you'd better to sleep at night.

Enrico,
Sure, but I was so anxious to test Windows Mobile 2005 that when I found how to extract it from the msi file and run it on the emulator, I could not go to bed
If you run the SDK msi file you will see that Microsoft requires you to have previously installed Visual Studio 2005! (more than 2 GBs) but doing
msiexec /a ...msi then you bypass the msi requirements
so there is no need for Visual Studio 2005
We should remember this cool trick for next msi files from Microsoft...

Antonio,
Thanks for your fantastic effort - the new emulator cures the fault of the failing serial port when it would randomly just stop working during a write, even when using C code.

Antonio,
Fivewin socket functions are OK with WM2005 emulator, but FWPPC TSocket() still seems flaky and gives an internal error - even 'sockcli'. I use Socket Workbench (
www.sigmasolutions.com.au) for testing with the emulator cradled with ActiveSync (on XP) using DMA. Its not a problem; just passing on feedback...

Jon,
We appreciate your feedback, thanks.
What internal error do you get ?

Antonio,
With PC2003 emulator my application simply displayed 'hb_errinternal' and with WM2005 emulator causes an o/s error report to be created, which I've emailed to you. Hope it helps. However the socket functions are easy to use instead and work perfectly well. Thanks again.

Jon,
I have seen the screens. Could you provide a small sample that reproduces the error ? Thanks,

Antonio,
Sorry for the delay. I'll recheck and retest my code with the latest FWPPC and Harbour and let you know...
