Windows Mobile 5.0 emulator ?

are there any standalone Windows Mobile 5.0 emulator can work without Visual Studio .NET, I really want to try out the platform before buying a Wizard.

Yes, I have it on my blog. It's 250MB or so. Use FlashGet or some download accelerator to grab it. Check the October 2005 archives.

Discovered your blog a few days ago, I'm still in the process of getting the most of it!
Congrats for such a good website!
Looks like you finished your server move, but the link is still unavailable. Any news? Somewhere else to get it from?

I have the file, but i have no where to upload, do you have a FTP ?

If you're looking to share large files, use a free service like www.yousendit.com or www.dropload.com.

For what is this emulator good for? Thx

I too downloaded this about a month ago just to give WM5 a look. It wasn't exactly to try before I buy, but I did have a bit more of a play while I was waiting for my K-JAM. can be a bit slow, but not too bad.

Useful to try a software. Especially on these early WM2005 days. I tried PocketZenPhone a few days ago, and could not totally removed it. A quick try on the emulator would have been enough, and would have kept my device clean :wink:

Step 1: get the WM2005 Emulator -> done
Step 2: install it -> done
Step 3: "connect" it to ActiveSync -> need your help again :wink:
I do not have Visual Studio and all this stuff, only the Emulator downloaded from Buzz's website. I can see the DMA (Direct Access Memory) connection method in Emulator's ActiveSync program, but nothing related to DMA on the Destop's ActiveSync (4.1, downloaded from Buzz's website too 8))...
Did someone already manage to dot it? In the meantime, is there a workaround to install on the Emulator a software with a .exe installer (no direct acces to the .cab files)?

run "C:\Program Files\WM_50_EMU\DeviceEmulator.exe" without any option.
You'll get the screen below. Read the options through and try to setup the networking.
I didn't coz i never needed AS connection to Emulator.
Optionally you can install those exe instal packages and then take the cab files manually from
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Active Sync\
and copy them over to emulator.

Yes, just found this solution too. Note that sometimes, the .cab files are not stored on the Active Sync folder, but a specific folder (C:\Program FIles\Pocket Informant\ for example).
I'll post some news as soon as I make some progress on the full Active Sync connection...

I installed the emulator and get a black screen on the skin. Do a reset - get a quick flash of 3 icons and then a black screen.
Any ideas?

Installing cab files from Vista pc

Any developpers intrested in helping us out

WinCE CAB installer
Here you go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2212896#post2212896
You can drag and drop CABs there, or ever better, associate .CAB files with it in Vista, so, all you need to do to install a CAB is a double click (while having ActiveSync on of course)

wow so fast reply.thank u so much..i hope it works on vista.

i have tried this already but not working on vista..its says file cant be accessed!!even in admin mode

Doesn't work for me. Get access denied. And what's worse: you can't uninstall the damn thing.
Edit:
Found it, just remove the Send to entry and delete cabinst.exe from Windows folder.

Having recently upgraded to Windows 7, I bumped into this issue as well and googled my way to this thread, but found no solutions like you guys.
It seems that all would be well if I turned off User Account Control, which, however, I don't really want to.
Thus I did more searches and found the following article:
Selectively disable UAC for your trusted Vista applications
Although the steps described in the above article did not prevent a UAC prompt from popping up, my installation of WinCE CAB Installer works now.

Right Click CAB installer for vista & WMDC 6.1

Incase anyone else is interested...
I looked but could not find (it was late) a "Right Click to Install CAB" for vista but i could only find an XP one.
I took a quick look & it seemed simple enough to modify so I did just that.
Attached is the modifed Installer (zipped).
I got the original xp version here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298499 <<
Regards, Steve.

Nice Thanks a lot bro, it works just fine

Thanks, is great

whats that?....

lol.
In XP you can use a little cmd file so that you can install cab files directly to your phone by right clicking the file on your computer and the option "Install to ppc" will be there.
This is the vista version.

thanks sd00!
it also works great in Windows 7 and WM6.5.3.

--are you sure that the base rom hasn't .net 3.5 already installed?

.net compact framework 3.5 is not standard installed on a TD2 aka Topaz.
Download it from MSDN Microsoft here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/default.aspx

You should have a Active Sync (Windows XP) connection with your device.
For Windows Vista and Windows 7 you must connect through Windows Mobile Device Center.
Active Sync 4.5 and Windows Mobile Device Center are free for download from Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/activesync-download.mspx
It looks like the framework is being installed on your PC but it will be installed on your phone.
You must have .net compact framework 3.5 from my link above.

ok downloaded every thing you have stated and installed accordingly but im still no further forward if you could add me to msn and help me out id really appreciate it buddy add me : [email protected] thanks alot guys

having the same problem. I connected Topaz to PC via active sync and waited to install net framework. Tried to open advanced config and said I needed net framework 3.5 at least. I think I know the problem, I JUST THINK :d

yea im no noob but this is really confusing me i cant update to 3.5 any one help me thanks

I`m confused too: my polaris says - .NET 3.5 is already at the ROM but I´ve got a punch of apps which cannot be installed on behalf of lecking "actual .NET-version"????
sucks a lot - could somebody give me a hand instead of HR?
thxs in advance

Download this:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en
and run it on your PC. The idea is that it'll then copy CF3.5 to your device the next time you connect via activesync. If it doesn't do that for some reason then goto C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\SDK\CompactFramework\v3.5\WindowsCE on your PC and copy the file NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab onto your D2. Then using the D2, find that file in File Explorer and click on it, to install it manually.

That link is for the desktop .NET 3.5, not the Compact Framework, which kinda explains why people were having no success with it!

I have isntalled on my PC compact version and same problem ...

see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347537. Download the cab file and put in on the sd-card, doubleclick on the file
NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab and install process begin. I hope it works for yoy

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529783
If you don't use Activesync, you may want to get just the cab file instead. Just google for NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab, then instal like any other app, to the main memory.
Also, whilst you're about it, google netcfcfg.cab. This app lets you set windows CF policy, so that all apps which need CF2.0 to run will automatically use your newly installed CF3.5, which is apparently better and more stable.
The file sizes should be 2644KB and 34KB respectively.

For what it's worth, the above mentioned netcfcfg.cab .NET config program is part of the CF 3.5 Power Toys, available from MS here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...14-a27d-4148-bf01-86c2e0953eab&displaylang=en

I was never able to get the cab file to work. Every time I ran it on the phone, I got an error saying that the aplication was not installed. When I installed the full msi on my laptop with the TD2 attached it successfuly installed on the phone.

works great. copy NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab, install, soft reset and go for it
