Windows CE 4.x Emulator does not work correctly if you have PAE mode enabled

I am attempting to develop a smart device application but the Windows CE 4.x Emulator will not load. The file is VPCAppSv.sys.

I have verified that PAE is not enabled.

Any help would be appreciated.

My wallet does not go deep enough for the technical help.

Visual Studio 2005 does not ship with a 4.x emulator (VS2003 did with a 4.1) so we need more info on the context of your problem.

Also I don't understand what you mean by: "The file is VPCAppSv.sys".

Finally note that VS2005 fully supports only CE 5.0 and in fact Compact Framework 2.0 is not supported on 4.x

Cheers

I have the same problem. KB883775 references "That file: VPCAppSv.sys" which is Windows CE emulator's controller. In this URL http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;883989#kb2 say that you can resolve the problem editing the file C:\Boot.ini and disabling the PAE mode, but in my PC is not enabled!!!, ?What is the problem that creates Windows XP SP2 inestability with Windows CE Emulator Controller?, ?How can I resolve this problem?.
Please, if you know how to resolve the problem, email me the solution: fernandobleye@tiscali.es

I would suggest you install the Microsoft Device Emulator Preview available at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/windowsmobile/downloads/emulatorpreview/default.aspx

It will update your Virtual Switch Driver (listed as Virtual Machine Network Service in your network adapter properties). This could fix your x86 emulator problem.

The second thing it will install is the ARM emulator which could replace the x86 entirely. You can virtually cradle this emulator to get it connected via ActiveSync and make it work just like a regular device. Visual Studio 2003 .nET will not notice the difference. To do this, start a copy of the emulator either from the command line or using one of the shortcuts in the start menu. Then, launch the dvcemumanager.exe and use it to "cradle" the running emulator. Then, go in ActiveSync and use the "Get Connected" wizard. Activesync should find a cradle device. You will then be able to use the emulator in VS2003 by targeting the "Pocket PC Device".

Substitute the "/Execute" switch for "/NoExecute=AlwaysOff" in BOOT.INI
