Installing a Pocket PC application

[steve_rm]

Hello, VS 2005. I have developed an Pocket PC for a Windows Mobile 5.0. I have created the setup using the following website. http://www.devx.com/wireless/Article/31198 This created a successful setup and the installed on the pocket PC without any errors. However, when I click on the applicaton on the Pocket PC, it doesn't launch the applcation. It does nothing. When I deploy on the emulator it works fine, but not on the actual pocket PC hardware. Can anyone tell me if i have done something wrong, or could it be the Pocket PC that could have the problem? Is there a better way to create a setup program for a pocket PC for VS 2005? Many thanks in advance, Steve

Hi, if you didnot have any breakthrough so far, i will suggest followings. 1) if your application is complex , i.e requires remote resources like remote db connection, then make a very simple one to start with and try followings. 2) deploy using XCopy method instead of making setup file to see if it makes a difference. 3) make sure you have selected right processor type in visual studio tools section. 4) try to debug-run the application on device rather than in emulator, using ActiveSynch and usb cable. (device instead of emulator in debug config) 5) if u cant manage 4, make sure all required components, if any (SqlCE,.Net Framework etc) are present on device compatible to the version your app supports. hope it helps.
