After installing VS2008, the platform builder mod, and the WM7 aku, VS usually prompts you, upon first startup, for your default mode. If you make a mistake and select something other than PB7, how do you get back into PB mode? I can get the device window, but it is always greyed out. I can also configure my normal connection settings, ...

Is it possible to create Windows CE 5.0 images (ie: nk.bin) from VS2005/VS2008 without using Platform Builder? If so, how? Can a vendor BSP for WinCE 5 be loaded into VS2005/2008? Are there the parts to do this available for download from Microsoft (ie: the SDK), or must you buy the special bits (a la PB) from a "special distributor"?...

So I know I can use #include in BIB and REG files to pull in other files like this: #include $(_PLATFORMROOT)\MYPLATFORM\FILES\MYBIB.BIB but it seems that I can’t get DAT files to behave the same way. Am I missing something here? I have a component that has a fairly large DAT file and I’d rather not have users forced to paste the wh...
Platform Builder is a tool for building a Windows CE Operating system on your computer and then loading it on a Windows CE device. All this is done through Platform Builder. And I do it all through the Microsoft Visual Stuido Development Environment (IDE). I want to automate the process of using the Platform Builder. So far, I only k...
Hi, I'm developing a Win CE 6 OS image and want to make it fit in the "Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Core Run-Time License". This means, among other things, that I have to remove the Wordpad application. From a product service and development perspective I'd like to replace it with something similar but free. One thought was to do a simple ...

I use PB 6.0 to debug my Windows-CE image. Whenever I run in this mode VS2005 opens the disassembly window each time it hits a debug break in a file that it does not have its source (pdb file for the module). This is really annoying as I would like to stick to the output view. I could find a setting to disable this disassembly window aut...
I have seen that sometimes breakpoints cannot be enabled in Visual Studio, they appear as empty circles, with a warning sign when enabled. This icon change is all the information VS gives. Particularly I'm suffering that in a Windows CE 6.0 project where I cannot enable any breakpoint in any of the sub-projects or in the OS design. The ...

I have an OS design project with some subprojects, I would like to try to compile one of this subprojects using the SDK of other platform. I don't have the BSP used to create this SDK, so I cannot simply add the subproject to a new OS Design for this platform. I think that the only way is to convert the subproject to a new project and co...
I am relatively new to Platform Builder, and whilst I am able to produce nk.bin files, they boot very slowly, 80-100 seconds, so I think there may be some checkbox somewhere that I need to set (or clear)! I've already removed kitl, profiling, etc in the project settings, and set the project to 'release build' & 'ship'. When I looked at...
I have created a Windows CE6 Image through Platform Builder, and I now want to develop c++ applications on this device with VS2005. With Visual Studio 2005 comes ConManClient2, compiled for each patform, which can be placed onto the target platform to allow for remote degugging from VS. On previous platforms, ones I haven't designed th...
