I am trying to test run my WINCE Apps

I need a Emulator and Windows CE 5.0 or 6.0 OS Images

Kindly send it to me the MSDN sites is all crap.

Well sure, it's MS.
And so is WinCE.

B.t.w. distributing WinCE images is illegal and this kind of illegal stuff should not be discussed on Lazarus mailinglist.

Just to be sure: do you mean Windows CE or Windows Mobile? Cause Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0 are something else than Windows CE 5.0 and 6.0 and the former's images (and emulator) are easier to find on MSDN.

That said for Windows CE 6.0 I've found this MSDN link: http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/CE6VirtualPCBSP
This image seems to need Virtual PC and thus is an i386-wince system. For other images you might need to download the Window CE system builder, but I've never used that, so I can't comment on that.

Uh? The WinCE emulator and related images used to be freely available to download from Microsoft. I know, because I did it too, some 2-3 years back. Felipe still posted a link to it too, if I'm not mistaken.

Here's the Windows Mobile 6 SDK, which contains emulator images:

and here's version 6.5:

Freely available does not imply freely redistributable.

Oh I am so sorry since I am new.

The Emulator that I want is Window CE (5.0 or 6.0)

The Emulator Image must be for ARM-WINCE

Being new doesn't mean you can't use Google or use the search bar on the links Nicolay gave you:)

Type "CE 5.0 device emulator" on
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/default.aspx and the first hit is: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18481

Type "CE 5.0" and the first hit is the SDK:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17310

I'll leave the 6.0 images as an exercise for you ;)

Hello,

The Lazarus wiki has Download links with full instructions for WinCE emulators:

Well, I downloaded it from MSDN, so I am sure Microsoft is okay with me using it!

Yes, but that does not include someone sending the images directly to someone else. So distributing the links to the MSDN is okay, but distributing the images themselves might not. It's a small, but important difference.

64bit OS?

Yes.

After several other errormessages from various installed components (see Felipe's mail) and a notice that a device driver was not installed, all of the sudden I had the device up and runnig. It then took me a while to find the explorer to start a program, but I maneged to test a cross-compiled app.
Don't ask me how I made it work though. And I wouldn't be surprised if it fails next time I try to start it up...
