Default Microsoft Device Emulator 1.0 Community Preview

http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/...ew/default.aspx

"The Microsoft Device Emulator 1.0 Community Preview is a standalone version of the same ARM based Device Emulator that ships as part of Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2. The standalone emulator is intended for situations when you want to demonstrate or test your application on a computer that does not have Visual Studio 2005 installed. The emulator ships with support for Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition."

This has been released at the same time as the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDKs but hasn't received the same coverage. This is a really neat tool if you want to demonstrate your applications on a PC which doesn't have any development tools. The software emulates an ARM CPU so you can run regular off-the-shelf device software on it (previously emulators shipped with the development tools required a specific X86 build). While this includes Pocket PC 2003 SE images you can use it in combination with the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK to install the latest device images. To download the Emulator follow the instructions on the product page.

Yep, confirmed, same here.
OTOH A standalone emulator is a great idea. If there is one single thing i miss from my rather short Palm "stay", its Copilot (Palm's emulator).
Its, excelent for testing out ideas, and programs. That way i didnt have to worry about leftowers, if i decided the program was not what i was looking for.

Someone needs to figure this out. I'm having trouble installing VS 2005 from MSDN, and all I really want to do is run the emulator.

HELP!!!

Nice! It really works (Not the standalone ARM emulator. I couldn't download it either . But the ARM emulator itself in VS2005 Beta2)

Although I will need to correct/adjust few things in BetaPlayer (I installed the normal ARM cabs)

I setup VS2005 Beta2 and WM2005 SDK as it's described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/w...l/default.aspx

There is mention in the original topic that the 5.0 SDK has additional images... I've tried installing the SDK to get access to those images, but it complains that it needs other software installed for the SDK to install... Is there any way to break open the MSI for the SDK to get at just the images?
