Emulator not installing as expected.

[fhunter]

Previously I asked here if I where to have someone with
out the Development environment install the PocketPC SDK
on their machine, if the emulator would install. The
consensus on the group was, that yes it would install.

Well, unfortunately everything else (which he does not
need) installed fine, help, Readme and the SDK command
line shortcut. But not a trace of the emulator. When
installing he got a warning saying that eMbedded Visual
C++ was not installed and to click Ok to install the SDK
to develop application using Visual Studio .Net.
Everything else proceeded fine.

What do we need to do to get the emulator to
install !!!!???? Any ideas?

Thanks

The SDK does not install a shortcut to the emulator, you can create a
batch-file or similar to launch the Emulator.exe with the Pocket PC Image. I
use the following (Pocket PC 2003 SDK) - paths may vary depend on your
installation options:-
"C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\Common\PlatMan\Bin\Emulator.exe" /skin
"C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce420\POCKET PC
2003\Emulation\Pocket_PC_Emulator_Skin.xml" /CEImage "C:\Program
Files\Windows CE Tools\wce420\POCKET PC 2003\Emulation\PPC_2003_WWE.bin"

This is then saved in a batch file called Run Emulator.bat and will run the
emulator with the correct Pocket PC look and the Pocket PC ROM image.
