Hello

I tried to install and launch cellular emulator by performing the following
steps:

- Installing VS2008
- Installing Windows Mobile 6 std & prof. SDK Refresh

Tried it on Windows XP Professional 32bit SP2, Windows XP Professional 32bit
SP3, and two different Windows Vista x64 Business machines but no success.

Error message on the Vista x64: "There not seven pairs of XPVCOM..."

Error message on WinXP x86: "MS VC++ Runtime error"

thx for any help

You have not given us enough detail of the failure to make any progress (we
could guess, but that's not usually of much value). Your list of steps to
"launch cellular emulator" doesn't launch the cellular emulator. What are
you *actually* doing to launch it? If you're building some program (Hello,
World), to run on the emulator, what target platform did you select in the
VS2008 environment? Be as specific about everything that you did as
possible. I wouldn't be surprised if the 64-bit machine wasn't supported;
you'll have to consult the readme for VS2008 on that. The other two should
work.

that may be your opinion but he's described exactly the process and the error
message, it's actually really simple to get the error but at this stage
impossible to get an intelligent answer on fixing it.

For a bit of variety you can install the windows vista x64
vs_emulator_x64_vista.exe
and then load any personality image you like, run the application from the
start menu "cellular emulator" and surprisingly Paul, get exactly the error
message described, with no hidden steps that weren't described by the
original poster.

The emulator is somewhat smaller than the VS2008 install but the net result
is a product that doesn't work.

So lets be perfectly clear the immediate error message is "There are not
seven pairs of XPVCOM in system" by immediate this message is before even
selecting an environment. But hey the first poster would have probably said
he had selected an environment if he'd actually got that far.

There have been several totally unhelpful suggestions on how to repair the
error including uninstalling any com port or bluetooth devices on your system
and trying again, but don't bother as it doesn't work.

Luckily the uninstall of the emulator works
