Windows Mobile on Virtual PC

rctneil · 8 Aug 2008 at 17:02

Can anyone give me some steps to follow to get Windows Mobile running on a pc like in Virtual PC as I know it can be done but I had an error and uninstalled everything I had installed and can;t remember the error but if anyone can post some steps of what files I need and how to do it then it would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Surely it's just a case of install VPC 2007, install the Mobile SDK and then add the images as per the MS download instructions?

So do you run the mobile 6.1 throguh Virtual PC 2007?

As far as I know, yes. Although I use the emulator in Visual Studio.

I have installed the Microsoft Device emulator and installed the Windows Mobile 6 Image MSI and they both installed successfully. I then went to run the "Cellular Emulator" and got the following message:

"There are not 7 pairs of XPVCOM"

Any ideas?

Thanks

Open a command prompt (as Administrator if you are on Vista)
Execute the following to remove and reinstall XPVCom:

Code:

CD \Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\Tools\Cellular Emulator\ 

InstallXPVCom.exe UnInstall 

InstallXPVCom.exe Install

If that doesn't work, what version of Windows are you using? I think there are major problems with 64bit operating systems.
