porting w. ce 5.0 customized platform into visual c++

HI

I've got a problem when i decided to install a customized platform made by platform builder with the aim of writing a native c++ application(vs2005) for a smart device.
The platform was installed successfully from the .msi package but it doesn't appear on platform choice window at the time to configure the project.

Thanks for any help.

p.s.:My new platform appears on device emulator manager window even if i don't think this pl. could be managed by the emulator.(in fact there's no connect option,another question for another forum section..)

Hi,
Install the PocketPC 2005 SDK and SmartPhone 2005 SDK to write application for smart devices (2005 Device). You can also install PocketPC 2003 SDK and SmartPhone 2003 SDK to write application for 2003 devices.Also install Platform SDK along with that.

HI
I have not yet installed pocket pc sdk 2005 and smartphone sdk 2005 but probably i made a mistake when i was talking about smart devices.I need to make a dedicated sdk cause my chipset is a pxa270 with his particular hardware.So you are telling me after installation of the sdk you mentioned i can add successfully every custom sdk on c++ environment

Thanks in advance.

I'm going to move this thread to the native forum to get a quick response

How was the SDK from Platform Builder created

What CPU flavors did you include as part of the SDK. You likely need to make sure there's at least one CPU flavor other then 'emulator'. Platform Builder 5.0 (VS2005 doesn't support pre 5.0 SDK's) emulator is the x86 emulator but VS2005 only supports the ARM Device Emulator, so if you only had PB's 'emulator' you may have had problems.

Note, you can build Device Emulator images from BP 5.0 using this download.
