Can't wait for a WM6 device? Play now with the standalone emulator

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Forum oldie 'RichieM' has just dropped me a message to let me know about an article on 'kirupaBlog', with a step by step guide to getting the Windows Mobile 6 emulators up and running on your PC.

The article is interesting because, unlike most other discussions of the emulators, it doesn't assume you have Visual Studio on your machine which - let's face it - is the case with most people!

If you want to give Windows Mobile 6 a test drive, head on over to the article and you'll be up and running in no time.

Alas, I get nowhere fast, because despite the indication above Paul, alas it DOES tell me I need Visual Studio 2005 or higher installed.

Same here. Sigh. Is he running Vista or something? I'm still on XP or Win2000 depending on the machine I'm using.

@ paul:

the kirupa blog is dead-wrong, which is documented over at the funcave. vs2005 standard is an absolute requirement to use the sdks.

@ everyone:

while you're waiting for the standalone wm6 images to drop, you could always check out the multi-part series on device emulator v1 w/ wm5. most of the concepts will remain the same in v2.

@ mikeyeee:

the series i just mentioned above has a post dedicated to device emulator cradling & activesync connectivity. remember tho: if you're on xp, you'll need activesync 4.5 for wm6 support. if you're on vista, you have to use wmdc instead of activesync for wm6.

all best,

hate to reply to my own, well...reply. but this is worth it.

i've got a method to truly run windows mobile 6 standalone, right now. full details are over at the funcave, but here's a screenshot to whet your appetite.

edit: had to remove the link to the screenshot, since i pwned myself with my very own countermeasures against directlinking/hotlinking to images and media on the funcave. ;)

all best,
