The simulator emulates a Windows Mobile device, similar to a virtual machine. To develop apps, you want to use Visual Studio and use the Windows Mobile simulator to test your apps in. (i.e.: you don't work for HTC or Motorola and are not building the actual phone.) If so, then you really don't need to create a WinCE VM, particularly since the device you'll be running on won't be using an x86 CPU. (i.e.: embeded in a DVD player or refrigerator.) Most Windows Mobile phones use an ARM or Xscale processor, not x86, so what you need for a cellphone or PDA is completely different.īased upon what you said in this last post, I'm guessing you're only trying to develop apps for WinCE, and not a build a WinCE device.

You wanted the installers that would install onto a x86 CPU, which is basically the full version of Windows that has been tweaked to run in less memory, usually from hardwired flash RAM.

Those don't get installed on a cellphone. I guess I don't understand how they fit all of that into a cellphone.
