I'm working on a project with CE 6.0 and I need to rebuild the tree. My problem is that I have to update the tree up to May 2009, this requires the 2008 rollup and the following 5 monthly updates, but I can't find them (there's the 2009 rollup and the following 2010 monthly updates).
I can't upgrade to a newer release as our platform is incompatible with R3 and post-May 2009 updates.
Of course if it would be possible to upgrade the platform so that it would be compatible with R3, I would upgrade, but it is currently not possible for two reasons:
There's a third party middleware that's not compatible with R3.
The product that has already been deployed (hundreds of thousands of devices) has currently an image based on CE 6.0 R2 upgraded to May 2009, an I want to recreate that environment.
Is there a place where I can download the "archived" updates?
The Mobile & Embedded Communications Extranet (ECE) is where the embedded channel resources are archived, but it is an authenticated access site. Credentials are usually obtained through the distributor that the embedded product development tools and licenses are obtained from (distributors like Arrow).
The embedded team blog could be a place to begin looking for contact information for folk within Microsoft.
Once you get access, Embedded > Products > Download Center > Windows Embedded > Windows CE contains:

I am trying to determine if I can configure a development machine for Sharepoint 2013 Enterprise using Visual Studio Pro 2013 and Sharepoint Foundation 2013.
I do not wish to install VS on the production server and run it from there - that is just asking for trouble.
However the budget will not withstand another SP2013 Enterprise license.
I have searched this site and others, but have not found any instance that specifically addresses my question:
can I install SP2013 Foundation (which is free) on my development machine with VS2013 Pro, and use that to build solutions for deployment to my production SP2013 Enterprise server?
The short answer is yes you could do this, but it may not let you do what you need...
So my first addendum to 'yes,' is that the dev machine needs to be running Windows Server 2008 R2 or later and meet all the other hardware and software requirements.
My second is probably a bit more important -- if you develop on SP foundation instead of enterprise you'll be unable to develop and test many of the features that your organization (or your customer, whichever is appropriate) probably purchased the enterprise edition for in the first place.
Something that's also important to note, you wouldn't need to purchase another full enterprise license; you can get an MSDN subscription (platforms or premium for access to SharePoint) that will give you access to software to use specifically for development and testing purposes.
I need to connect to DB2 from Excel using VBA.
Is there any driver i need to install for this.I am very new to this.So please do help.
PFB the connection string i used
DBCONSRT ="Provider=DB2OLEDB;Datasource=hfdvdb2.intra.testdb.com:40001/TESTQA;Hostname=hfdvdb2.intra.testdb.com;Protocol=TCPIP;Port=40001;Uid=testusr;Pwd=testpwd;
Set DBCON = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
DBCON.ConnectionString = DBCONSRT
DBCON.Open
Is this the correct way to give the connection string.
You'll need to install the DB2 OLEDB Provider for DB2. See this link.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=29100
For example connection strings, the download itself should have documentation. However, a great site for connection strings is http://www.connectionstrings.com/ibm-db2/.
Microsoft has been creating their own OLEDB providers for DB2 (the IBM's downloads are multi-hundred megabytes and behind paywalls).
The drivers are known as Microsoft OLEDB Provider for DB2, and have been released along with the various SQL Server "Feature Packs".

I have windows service developed by VS.Net 2012 , Windows 7 32 bit and installshield 2012 LE for setup.
In the development machine everything going well ,installation completed and service working fine .
When upload it to the server (windows server 2008 R2 SP1 64bit) during the installation , installation stopped and rolled back because of error 1001 .
Advise Please
You're in a rough spot. Error 1001 comes from an InstallerClass, which uses a very fragile technology. The error 1001 has many different possible sources, ranging from an unhandled exception to what feels like the phase of the moon. However InstallShield LE doesn't really support installing services any other way.
The best advice I can offer is to use Windows Installer support for installing services. But in order to do that you will have to use a different installation creator. If you want to stick with InstallShield, the Professional edition has a view in which you can configure the Windows Installer support for services.
You can use Windows Installer XML (WiX) to author a merge module that installs a windows service and then consume that merge module in a InstallShield LE project. See:
Augmenting InstallShield using Windows Installer XML - Windows Services
Installshield LE 2012 doesn't support 64bit.
There is a new beta available of Installshield LE that is supposed to add this feature: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2013/08/15/what-s-new-in-visual-studio-2013-and-installshield-limited-edition.aspx
It's also supposed to support the proper Windows Installer for installing services now, even in the LE (via "3 Configure the Target System" -> Services"). However I've not been able to get that bit working yet - maybe there's some magic setting I've missed.
You could try using this version - let me know if you have any luck getting it working via the proper windows installer services!
I'm a little new on Window Embedded Compact 7.0(WEC 7) so I have some question about it :
1- Is there any handheld device that runs with it? All I found run on 6.5 and lower win CE versions ( check this link please : http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/evaluate/windows-embedded-handheld-devices.aspx)
2- what's its .Net framework version? .NET CF 3.5 or .NET CF 3.7 ? I don't know whether its technology related to windows 7 or windows phone 7. If its .NET version is .NET CF 3.7, can I run my old .NET 3.5 apps over it or I should change them to silverlight version? (As I know I cannot run them on windows phone 7)
3-I couldn't find any screenshot of it.
4- For window phone 7, there is a free add-on on VS 2010 for development (although publishing is not free). Is there any free development toolkit & emulator(handheld emulator indeed)?
Thanks in advance
4-..or Completely I'm in a wrong way of thinking? ;-)
About your questions:
1- Is there any handheld device that runs with it?
Yes there are.
The Windows Embedded Partner Program might give you more alternatives
2- what's its .Net framework version? .NET CF 3.5 or .NET CF 3.7 ?
Windows Embedded Compact 7 includes the .NET Compact Framework 3.5
I don't know whether its technology related to windows 7 or windows phone 7.
AFAIK, it is not related to Windows 7, and it is not realated at all with Windows Phone 7.
If its .NET version is .NET CF 3.7, can I run my old .NET 3.5 apps over it?
The .NETCF version is 3.5, so yes, you can run your old >NETCF applications.
or I should change them to silverlight version?
If you do that, then your application will not work anymore. WinCE 7 does not support managed silverlight, it only supports something that is somehow called Silverlight but it actually targets development in native code using C++.
3-I couldn't find any screenshot of it.
Here, enjoy:
4- For window phone 7, there is a free add-on on VS 2010 for development (although publishing is not free). Is there any free development toolkit & emulator(handheld emulator indeed)?
You can use VS 2008, but AFAIK it is not possible at this time to create an emulator for it, since Microsoft has not released the Emulator BSP for WinCE 7.
I've Motorola Symbol Handheld Model MC3090 (from symbol MC3000 series), having Windows CE 5.0.
Is it possible that i can upgrade the Handheld OS from CE 5.0 to CE 6.0?
In Short - NO.
To be able to do so you need to have the BSP (board support package) to build an image for Windows CE. Each OS is built specifically for each device. When you say Windows CE 6 it means nothing since it is a componentizied OS and your OEM (Motorola) decides what to put inside.
According to device's specs I think it has Windows Mobile. A different beast than Windows CE, but based on Windows CE 5. There is no Windows Mobile based on Windows CE 6.
In any case you cannot change the OS version without the OEM.
