CEAppCompat - Location.

If you have existing CE 5.0 based applications or DLLs you probably want to determine whether these are going to work ok with CE 6.0 - The CE 6.0 product ships with an application compatibility tool called CeAppCompat - this is a command line tool that lives in the C:\WINCE600\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\BIN\I386 folder.

The tool takes two command line options, input, and output - input points to a binary or a folder containing multiple binaries and output is the name of an HTML file that will be the report generated by the CeAppCompat tool - the command line for CeAppCompat looks like this...

CeAppCompat -i C:\SomeFolder -o Foo

The output from the example will be Foo.html

Note that the majority of "well behaved" applications should just run, unmodified on CE 6.0 - The HTML report will list the APIs your application or DLLs are calling that would cause a problem on CE 6.0.

    Where can i download this tool? I don't want to download an install Visual Studio Professional 2005 Eval and Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Eval to test my applications. A better way is to provide a CE6 based image (Standard SDK) for the standalone ARMV4I device emulator.

    CEAppCompat only ships with the CE 6.0 development tools, you will need to download the tools (or order a CD) to get the tool.

    Actually I posted too soon (too focused on myself! tssk tssk). Wow! I should look at Channel 9 more often.
