Can't install visual studio 6 on XPE

[Guest]

Hey guys, we're seeing funky behavior with our custom application so I need
to install visual studio on the XPE machine to rebuild from source. I can't
install it though because I get an error. If anyone has any suggestions let
me know, thanks!

Mark,

Installing VS 6.0 on XPE run time topic has been discussed in this NG number of times. Please do a search:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.embedded?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8

However, this is unclear to me why would you really need to rebuild the sources on target?? Wouldn't that be much easier to build
the sources on XP Pro machine?

In case you need to debug the app at run time, you can always use VS Remote Debugging feature (or WinDbg).
