Re: VS 2005 on XPe



Jason,

Although I completely agree with Gordon's point that it is not really necessary to install VS on XPe device and for debugging
embedded apps (well, any app on embedded device can be considered as embedded app) it would be a better option to use remote
debugging, I had a successful attempt to install VS 2005 on XPProEmulation image (www.xpefiles.com, FP2007/CTP2).
It was a default trial install (not Full) and the studio, IDE, SQL Express, compilers, linkers ande user mode debugger worked ok.

And again, it was done on XPProEmulation image which obviously doesn't miss any software component.

The apps we use aren't "embedded"

Sometimes it nice to be able to debug on a target machine that has all the PCI cards installed that we use, and sometimes not
everyone has a extra PC to install VS 2005 and use the remote debugger :)

Will VS2005 install and run on XPe? Anyone know?

Thanks

If it works on XP Pro, you can make it work on XPE. My question would be "why?". Typically, XPE systems are for running
embedded apps - not developing them.
