I've written an app with VC++ 2005 and it works great on the Pocket PC with
Windows Mobile 2003. We have a customer that uses Windows Mobile 2005 and
has a problem.

I've installed the 2005 SDK but I cannot create an app to run in the 2005
emulator. It says something to the effect of "you don't have a 2005 device
installed".

Question: Can I run an app in the 2005 emulator if I don't have a 2005
device installed?

You would think this would be possible. So you can test your app in any
number of emulators.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Yes, you can run an app in the 2005 emulator without a 2005 device.
That is the whole purpose of having an emulator anyway. Double check
your installation. How do you start the emulator? There are three ways
to start the Device Emulator from Visual Studio 2005

1. From Tools->Connect To Device-><choose 5.0 emulator> ->Connect
2. From Tools->Device Emulator Manager, then right click on an 5.0
emulator from the displayed list and press 'Connect'.
3. Create a smart device project and either press F5 or Deploy
Solution. From right clicking on your project name in the solution
explorer, select Properties and select Deployment.

You need to have
1.> VS 2005
2.> Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK

to run your application on WM 5.0
Check your installations.
