Control a wince device from desktop


I would like to know if there is a tool simillar to mymobiler for Wince 5.0 which I can use to control the device from my desktop. I use mymobiler (v1.25) but I believe it controls only devices running on WM5 and above.

Any help would be highly apprecited as the screen of my device has stopped working.


Solution

  • I use MyMobiler myself when I am coding for WinCE5.0 (not very often but I do know that it works.)

    In your extracted MyMobiler zip file is three versions of remote.exe.

    1. remote.exe
    2. remote.exe.50
    3. remote.exe.40

    The only one I have gotten to work on wince5 is remote.exe.40

    Just rename the existing remote.exe file (remote.exe.wm) [you may have to click tools, folder options, and uncheck hide extensions for known file types]

    Next rename remote.exe.40 to remote.exe.

    After that you are good to go. Copy remote.exe to the device through activesync (xp) or WMDC (>XP) and launch it on the device. It was a bit funny connecting for me the first time - I click connect on pc, then had to click the tray icon on the device, and click connect.

    Good Luck!
