Visual Studio ""ON" XPe

[David Jones vpac org>]

Having problem with .NET app development for XPe.
Finding remote debug difficult to configure (connect).

Current copying built app onto memory stick then running from there on XPe
after getting it to run correctly on dev machine (XP Pro).
Debugging on XPe is difficult though! .. Writeline approach!

The app runs OK on XP Pro on the target but with XPe on target the app
behaves differently. App involves flash and media player.

- Is it possible to install VS 2005 on XPe system, just to get past this
speed hump?
- If so, what would be required apart from window installer component for
this?
- What would the licensing issues be here? .. It would only be a temp
situation until I determine what the issue is.

Thx in advance.

Can't speak to the other issues, but VS is typically licensed per-developer,
not per-machine (I think there are some exceptions, e.g. university
computing labs). Re-read your license agreement and I think you'll find
that you can have as many installs as you want.
