I can't seem to find the location to the Windows CE 3.0 source code that MS released a week or so ago. Does anyone have a link to it? Thanks.<br><br>Dan East

Dan,<br>I think I still have it somewhere on my computer. Do you want me to send it over?<br>-Shape

Thanks guys! I only have a dial-up connection, so I'll just let it trickle down from MS.<br><br>Dan East

Dan,<br>Do you have PB already?  The source may not unpack if you don't have at least the eval version of Platform Builder installed.<br>

No, but I got it to unpack on my laptop running Windows 2000. Very useful stuff...<br><br>Dan East

That's great news. I didn't want to have to download that PB monstrosity just to look at source code.

I tried it first on my Win 98 PC (which doesn't have eVC installed) and it gave me an error about the installer being the wrong version. So I tried on my Win2000 laptop, and it gave me a similar but different error about the installer version being mismatched. After I dismissed it the installation proceeded. Maybe the version mismatch prevented it from checking if I have PB?<br><br>Dan East

The exact InstallShield error on my w2k machine was:<br>1207: Windows(R) Installer 1.10.1029.0 found.<br>This is an older version of the Windows(R)<br>Installer. Click OK to continue.<br><br>On the Win98 machine:<br>1608: This setup does not contain the Windows<br>Installer engine (INSTMSIA.EXE) required to run<br>the installation on this operating system.<br><br>Dan East

Looks like you need the Windows Installer, which is also required to run *.msi-files...

I have it, let me see where it is. I hope it didn't go with my HD crash too!

I've installed it sucessfully under W2k. I just got that error message, but it let me continue. I could not install it under Win98, which is no problem for me.<br><br>Dan East
