    I'm currently trying to install the Windows CE Platform Manager 4.0 as part of the embedded Visual C++ setup, but it appears to have hung. I've tried several times, but it runs through the 'configuring' stage once (fairly quickly) and then on the 2nd time it sits at one 'square' on the progress bar and doesn't appear to be doing anything. There's no CPU activity, no disk activity, and nothing else happening - despite going for nearly an hour. Any ideas? Should I just leave it and hope it completes? Or is there something I can do check to make sure it installs properly? The problem is, I can't install Embedded VC4 without the plaform manager installed, and I have to get this working. :confused: :(( :eek:

      I managed to inatall eVC4 over eVC3 with no problems. Did you thoroughly check out those damned readme files?

        Yep, read all the readme files. I tried installing eVC3 last night, and exactly the same thing happened with that, too. I left it going all night, and it was still in the same place this morning. Even if I try to cancel the installation, it sits there doing nothing for hours too. The only way I can get it to continue is to kill the process 'emulator.exe'. Any clues at all would be most useful. ________________________ http://www.webreaper.net

          What about your base system? Is it a W2K or XP fully updated? Accept nothing less than that.

            It's XP Pro, and fully updated...... :rolleyes: I'm going to have to try the last-resort option - I'm going to do a clean XP install and see if it'll work on that..... :omg: :eek: ________________________ http://www.webreaper.net
