4.3.2 Building Windows CE Runtime
Build the Windows CE runtime with the eMbedded Visual tools. This
section demonstrates step by step how to develop a custom application.
1. Install Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++: The Microsoft eMbedded
Visual C++ tool is a desktop development environment for creating
applications and system components for Windows CE .NET-pow-
ered devices. This version features new capabilities such as C++
exception handling, Run Time Type Information (RTTI), and a
plethora of new debugger functionalities. Before you begin to
develop your application, you must install Microsoft eMbedded
Visual C++ first
2. Insert the TPC CD into the CD-ROM in the host PC.
3. Install the TPC Software Development Kit for eMbedded Visual
C++ from the support CD-ROM.
4. Install Microsoft ActiveSync from the support CD-ROM
5. Build the connection between the host and TPC via ActiveSync.
For further information about ActiveSync, please refer to section
4.2.2.
6. Execute eMbedded Visual C++.
7. Select “File”->”New” to open a new project. Select your project
type in the left side of the window and enter the new project name/
location in the right side of the window.
Note If you choose to install the Common files or
Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 on a parti-
tion other than the system partition, the figure
representing the amount of space required
reflects only the amount of space for files being
installed on that non-system partition. It does not
reflect the total amount of space required to
install the entire product. This is because some
files must be installed on the system partition,
regardless of where other files are installed.
