Post by thread:] PalmOS vs Pocket PC.....Palm

Are you installing on an NT platform (NT/2000/XT)? Diskspace? /Ake -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: pic microcontroller discussion list [spam_OUTPICLISTTakeThisOuTMITVMA.MIT.EDU]För John Pearson Skickat: den 22 april 2004 22:16 Till: .....PICLISTKILLspam@spam@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Ämne: [OT:] PalmOS vs Pocket PC.....Palm I needed to decide which platform to go with for a handhelp application, Palm or Pocket PC. I downloaded the PalmOS Developers Suite from Palm. It installed flawlessly and works great. The Microsoft Embedded Visual Tools 3.0 however, does not install on my computer. Before I give up on the MS visual tools, if anyone can suggest why I can't install it, please help. I get many error messages like this: Setup tried to create a path 'C:\Windows CE Toolset\Htmlhelp\' and 'WCE\HTMLHELP\EVC\WCEATL.CHM' After all that I get "cesdkhlp.dll was unable to register itself in the registry" "Install failed".

FWIW, Microsoft Visual Studio .NET is a MUCH better development for the PocketPC platform than MS Embedded Visual Tools. I have done some C# programming for the PocketPC and with VS .NET it is beyond easy. Installation of the environment on both my 2000 and XP systems was easy and trouble-free. I'm fairly sure there is a time-limited (60-day?) eval available. You'd want MS Visual Studio .NET 2002 or 2003. Can't speak for the Palm at all. MS sent us (FREE!) Viewsonic V37 400MHz PocketPCs to encourage us to write PocketPC software. I have yet to receive even a brochure from Palm... -matt redmond {Quote hidden}> > From: Ake Hedman <akheKILLspamEUROSOURCE.SE> > Date: 2004/04/22 Thu PM 08:46:28 GMT > To: .....PICLISTKILLspam.....MITVMA.MIT.EDU > Subject: SV: ] PalmOS vs Pocket PC.....Palm > > Are you installing on an NT platform (NT/2000/XT)? > Diskspace? > > > /Ake > > -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- > Från: pic microcontroller discussion list > [EraseMEPICLISTspam_OUTTakeThisOuTMITVMA.MIT.EDU]För John Pearson > Skickat: den 22 april 2004 22:16 > Till: PICLISTspam_OUTMITVMA.MIT.EDU > Ämne: [OT:] PalmOS vs Pocket PC.....Palm > > > I needed to decide which platform to go with for a handhelp application, > Palm or Pocket PC. > > I downloaded the PalmOS Developers Suite from Palm.

Can it be service packs for the 98 environment that may be needed? /Ake Could be Ake, although I just did an update but most components seemed to be Outlook security issues. To be fair, I went ahaead and ordered the CD.

MS says it will work on 98SE, except for the emulators. It checks diskspace and there is enough.

If they won't run the latest WinCE, you might be stuck with a version for which free/cheap development tools are unavailable or non-existant. My first exposure to palmtops was a Mips-based WinCE 1.0 thing that I *WON* at a trade show. I quickly discovered that my development options were slim (and expensive), and that I could (barely) upgrade to wince 2 for a significant pricetag. So it sat on a shelf, and eventually I bought a Palm. (I haven't actually DONE any development for it, mind you, aside from the MIDI hardware interface, but at least the possibility is there ... :-) BillW -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
