Windows Mobile 6 SDK

Has anyone tried the Windows Mobile 6 SDK
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...3A-A651-4745-88EF-3D48091A390B&displaylang=en
Have yet to download it myself, but I believed with this and the KITL mode we could compile a new crossbow rom? Maybe we could then use this core in the XDA-Live version?
Maybe anyone who knows about this stuff can give his reaction, I'm just thinking out loud.

man, d/l speed is slow.

I think you will find that the SDK is only for developing applications that run within the OS, not for creating images of the OS. This was the case for the mobile 5 sdk it allows developers to use the new cf.net framework. The 6 SDK includes the new namespaces including the updated system namespace and the new xbox namespace, as well as the new emulators.

Install Windows Mobile SDK without Visual Studio

I'm going to start with why, then how.
Why: I use the open source SharpDevelop to write Windows Mobile .NET applications. Some of the managed libraries that are included in Windows Mobile are not usable without the Windows Mobile SDK files. Microsoft's SDK Installer checks for Visual Studio, and if it not installed, will NOT install the SDK.
How: Download the SDK, open a command prompt, cd to where the SDK was downloaded to and type (making appropriate changes):
Code:
msiexec /a "MSI File.msi" /qb TARGETDIR="Full path to target directory"
For example, lets say that the file is called "WM6 SDK.msi" (which it is not), you downloaded it to "C:\WM SDKs\" and you want to extract it to "C:\WM SDKs\WM6 SDK\", you would type:
Code:
cd C:\WM SDKs
msiexec /a "WM6 SDK.msi" /qb TARGETDIR="C:\WM SDKs\WM6 SDK\"
The DLLs you need to add a references in your project will be under a folder called Designtimereferences

Interesting! Anyone know if this enables the SDK to work with Visual Studio Express?

I doubt it ... I use SharpDevelop. I have a legal copy of Visual Studio 2003 + 2005, but I use SharpDevelop.

SharpDevelop
Does sharp develop support Compact Framework 3.5?
What are some advantages to using this?
I normally develop with visual Studio 2008 Professional with the Window Mobile 6 SDK.
Wish I would have know about this sooner.
2008 Standard does not support windows mobile development and pro was kind of spendy.
2005 standard supports it.
<slight rant>
Why microsoft? Why would you require pro to make apps, when you need to gain market share. The other platforms are growing because of the availabilty of apps.
</slight rant>

Sharp Develop DOES support CF 3.5, but you need to install .NET CF 3.5 and .NET CF 3.5 Power Toys on the PC to use it ... See Compact Framework on SharpDevelop Wiki.

[Q] How to use DirectDraw?

Hi, I come from China.
These days, I get a problem.
That's my title said. How to use DirectDraw on Windows Mobile?
I found a file named "ddraw.h" in WM6 SDK folder.
But it is only used by c++.
I want to use DirectDraw by c# or vb.net.
Is there any idea?
Better to be a library...
Thank you!
[My English Doesn't well, Sorry.]
如果你会中文那就太好了：
这些天我遇到了一个麻烦，就是怎样在WM上使用DirectDraw
我在WM6的SDK里找到了一个ddraw.h文件
但是那是c++用的
而我是使用vb.net的
有没有办法呢？
最好是一个类库……
谢谢……

Anybody know it?
How can u draw your UI?

Did you check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487354 and http://blogs.msdn.com/b/marcpe/archive/2006/03/03/542941.aspx which it references to as well?
The developer there seems to have similar issues and is using C# to access DirectDraw (by using a specially compiled dll.)
Since I'm no WM developer (yet), I can't help you out any further... but I'm sure some searching even on this forum alone should be able to provide you with enough information to get you started.
Oh and... welcome to xda-developers!

Thank you for your reply Art4.
I know that`s a solution. I tried to compile ddraw.h to ddraw.dll, but failed.
I'm very bad in c++, only VB.Net...

.h is just header which you include in your project (C++). The target .dll is already compiled somewhere in WM or the SDK. In that .h you can see what functions have which parameters and you can via interop and marshalling put them in your C# (or VB.NET) project and call them from there.

[Q] Windows 8 RT + Java

Hello I am planning to buy an Asus device with Windows 8.1 RT, the problem is that I want to run an application which use Java. It seems that Java does not run in Windows 8 RT, is there some way around?
thanks

IKVM (it's a .NET-based Java runtime) works on RT if you "jailbreak" the OS, but there's no publicly available jailbreak for 8.1 yet. On 8.0 it might work, though. You could try running your program through IKVM on "normal" Windows to test its compatibility (which isn't perfect, though most pure-Java apps will run).

How limited is Windows RT to install any kind of 32bits based software?
Thanks

You're more or less safe to assume that any desktop program you find will /NOT/ install on Windows RT.

I just spent ages writing an incredibly lengthy post explaining why certain programs will or will not run on RT and other options only to get a gateway error when posting and losing all that I typed.
Nethams post sums it up nicely. If it won't run under IKVM or isn't in the list of desktop applications for RT on this forum, nope, not gonna run.

i want to run exe on htc 10?

hi i want to know is there a way to run exe files on android, i have a htc 10 oreo

exe is a Windows format, in general it will not work anywhere else natively. There are ways of making it work within Linux by using Wine and so on (i don't know about Macs) but on Android? No idea. There may be an app that allows you to run virtual machines, but beyond that, no.

An.exe file is indeed a windows based file, like .apk is for android, my guess is that it will never work. Not even sure what you want to run as an exe to make it work with android ?

like any emulator or anything? i want to run otohits and wine is currently not running on it. and even i dont know if it will i tried wine 3.0,, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 non of them work

ScummVM or Limbo from PlayStore? what exe you want to run?

i want to run otohits autosurfer app

Just use the Android app instead: https://www.otohits.net/home/mobile
If you really must use the Windows version, you could try Wine for Android (https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/android/), but be aware: Emulation is far from perfect.
You can think of an Emulator like a live translator for two languages, but the difficulty is that each word from the Windows language needs to be translated to 100-1000 words in the Android/Linux language and on top of that every time the Android system must return something to the Windows app, this doesn't mean that it only has to translate 1/1000th of the words, but it needs to translate another 1000 words in that direction as well. The real problem is that the translator might not be perfectly fluent in both languages and that some figuratives from each language cannot be translated to the other at all.

I tried limbo and many mkre wine too. But no luck, i have the android version but i dosent have many important features.
It cant autosurf.
