thanks Mr,

no, I'm want to write simple code for PPC devices,
excuse my ignorance, I didn't know what the platform
builder is for, and this caused some confusion.

I should want to ask now is if that emulator that
comes with VS2008 can be activated without
using VS2008, just like opening any file.

I'm pretty sure the emulator can run on its own. But I've never
actually used VS 2008 or the new emulator, so I hope someone else will
confirm or correct me.

I still think someone could find an even better answer for you if you
asked the questions behind your question: why do you want to use the
emulator by itself? Also, why do you think VPC is part of your
solution?


thanks for your comments,
Carlos

Hi group

I have just realized to ask if there exist
some modern emulator that can be used inside
VPC 2007.

The answer depends on what you mean by "inside".

If you're trying to create a virtual machine with Windows CE as the
operating system, then you'll need an X86-compatible version of
Windows CE. But nothing like that is available for sale, so you'll
need to use Platform Builder to build a custom version of Windows CE.

If, however, you want an emulator that runs under some version of
"big" Windows running under VPC, that is a much easier problem. Visual
Studio 2008 comes with an emulator.



I want to build evc 3 or 4 code and then copy
compiled code manually on the emulator and
run from there.

If you're using one of the SDKs from Microsoft, then you are building
for one of the platforms (Pocket PC, Smartphone, etc.) controlled by
Microsoft. And that means using Platform Builder wont' work, unless
you're willing to pay big bucks for a license to build that platform.
If you're using an SDK from someone else, then you are dealing with
people (or a company) who use Platform Builder to build a custom
version of their operating system. Maybe you can get them to build an
x86-compatible version that will run under VPC.

My hunch is that you'll be way better using the emulator that comes
with VS 2008, rather than using Platform Builder. But one of us might
come up with an even better solution if you tell us why you think an
emulator running under VPC would help you.


thanks very much in advance,
Carlos
