VS.NET and CE 4.2

[SeArOvEr]

Hi,
I just did a FULL installation of vs.net 2003. I want to
develop application using ce.net 4.2. Now afaik vs.net has
ce.net 4.1 ( i may be wrong ) .. so basically how to i
install CE4.2 ?? I tried to download the CE.net 4.2 device
emulator but it tells me that wizard is missing..

I tried to download the emulator from here
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?
FamilyId=B670079A-3000-4F3C-A74F-
0235A20563CF&displaylang=en

It asks me to signin to passport and after succesful
signin redirects me to this page
https://register.microsoft.com/regsys/regsys.asp?wizid=6608

where it tells me that
"The Wizard you are trying to access is no longer
available "

Any help in pointing to the right direction is appreciated.

You need to download and install Windows CE .NET 4.2 from
ere -http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C60F61C1-623B

This will give you the tools needed to build a custom Windows CE .NET 4.2
operating system image for the Windows CE .NET 4.2 Emulator - you can then
use this emulator image with Visual Studio .NET to write and test managed
code applications against your o/s image.

the following articles explain how to configure an operating system using
the Windows CE .NET development tools and how to hook this up to Visual
Studio .NET 2003

I'm confused. Studio 2003 can target CE 4.1 or 4.2 devices out of the box -
just choose "Windows CE" as a target. You don't need to download or install
anything other than the Studio Add-on pack.
