Enable to run "Application Verifier” on device

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to perform verification test on my application that runs under WM 5.0 Smartphone edition.

I downloaded Microsoft DCTK and "Application Verifier” tools.

I succeed to connect to the device at the first stage (with “start client…” option) by selecting in the settings combo boxes “Microsoft ActiveSync”.

At the second stage, after I opened the "Application Verifier” tool (by right click on the tree view -> “Tools…”) and try to connect from there to device, I got the following message box – “EnableShimEngine error” , “Unable to enable shim engine on device”.

Is any body knows what is problem?

Thanks for any kind of help,

Asher

I believe you might be using the wrong version of application verifier. The link for downloading application verifier tool for WM 5.0 is http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=D275348A-D937-4D88-AE25-28702C78748D&displaylang=en

Hi, Asher. A better place to get answers about testing tools for Windows CE is this newsgroup:

The most common source of problems getting app verifier working on mobile devices is the security restrictions; all the app verifier bits have to be signed with a privileged certificate.
