32 Developing CE Applications

2. Install Microsoft embedded Visual C++ 4.0 software.

This is the development environment for building Windows
CE.NET applications using C/C++, the Win 32 API and MFC.
eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 is available for download from
Microsoft at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/ or can be
purchased on CD from the Microsoft Evaluation and Resource
Center at http://microsoft.order-5.com/trialstore/.

3. Install the PanelView Plus CE Software Development Kit (SDK)

that is distributed on the Accessory CD, Part Number
77159-951-55.

a. Load the CD, browse to the Software Development Kit folder.

b. Install the package named pvplusceSDK.msi.

Microsoft Embedded Visual C++ 4.0 is available without charge,
except for a nominal shipping and handling charge. Accordingly, it is
a highly economical tool for developers of CE application programs.

Device driver developers should also consider installing Microsoft
Windows CE Platform Builder 4.1, which has extensive support for
kernel level CE development that is not found in the other toolkits.
However, Platform Builder is not necessary for most driver
development work.

Details of the installation procedures are beyond the scope of this
manual. Please follow the instructions and readme files that are
provided with the respective products and CDs.

TIP

If the VersaView SDK is installed it must first be
manually removed.

Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove
Programs to verify if the VersaView SDK is installed.
Manually remove the SDK if it is installed.
