I need an emulator for Windows CE 5.0 to test the embedded device (not a PDA or smartphone) that I am developing. This is what I have already tried:
Visual Studio 2008 Pro includes an emulator. Unfortunately, it does not include a Windows CE image (only Windows Mobile and a smartphone). Yes, there is a difference, see screenshots here . Windows CE includes a “start button," windows that can be minimized, moved, etc.
There is a Windows CE device emulator available from Microsoft. Besides the fact that its license allows only non-commercial use, it does not start in Windows 7 (it requires the .NET Framework 1.1, which is incompatible with Windows 7), nor in Windows XP mode (error message: "Emulator for Windows CE will not run one virtual machine in another. Run the virtual machine in the host operating system ").
Is there any option I missed?
