Take a look at this:



As I read this, it sounds like the SDK contains the JIT compiler and it actually executes at the time your application is installed, compiling your application to native code at that point and downloads the native code version to the device.

According to that doc it does not support HPC 2000. It makes no mention of Pocket PC 2002.

It would make some sense that CEF is not supported on Pocket PC 2002, because that OS only supports the ARM processor. However it would seriously break backwards compatibility. Once I get the SDK installed I'll produce a test EXE so someone can verify whether or not it works on Pocket PC 2002.

I've always stayed away from CEF for my other apps, but it does seem perfectly suited for an installer.

Here's the link where I actually saw it's no longer supported:



But, if my understanding of how the whole CEF process works (i.e., JIT-compiled at install-time), I can't see any reason why it wouldn't still work, it just would be superfolous.

Then again, as I was typing that, it seemed illogical that it would work the way I said, so, bottom line: Let *ME* know when you get the *RIGHT* answer!

It definitely doesnt work, much to my fury when I found out. It would have been so EASY to include it to avoid breaking compatibility, but no
