Hi!

I'm trying to get the emulator for PocketPC 2002 to work with VS.NET 2003 on
a Windows XP SP1 machine but when I choose "Connect to device" from the IDE,
the computer freezes instead of installing. If I reboot the machine, I get
the "Found New Hardware Wizard" which also hangs the machine if I let it try
to install the "Virtual PC Application Services". I've tried the following:

* Removed VS.NET 2002, VS.NET 2003 and ActiveSync and rebooted
* Installed ActiveSync 3.7.1
* Installed VS.NET 2003
* Disabled Windows XP Prefetch and cleared the prefetch directory
* Installed the .NET Framework v1.1 Device Update 4
* Cleared the VPCAppSv registry key under the Services key.

Strangely enough, it works on a Windows 2000 SP4 machine which doesn't even
have ActiveSync installed.

Could someone please give me a hint on what to do?

TIA

Jonas

You might try running the Emulator installer package on the Visual Studio
CD-ROM: look for "Smart Devices Emulator.msi" on the cd and run it. This
installs the Virtual PC drivers.

You might also look in the Microsoft Knowledge Base for similar problems
with Virtual PC: http://support.microsoft.com.

Here's another idea: Find the Microsoft MSIzap tool on Microsoft.com, and
use it to delete the MSI information for the Emulator (Virtual PC drivers).

Btw, you don't need ActiveSync to use the emulators.

Hi and thanks for your answer.

I have found that it does work on another WinXP machine, so there must be
something wrong with my installation, can't find what tough.
