Hi- newbee here in PDA world. Using a HP 2215 w/ the new 2003 software, I
find I have about 3 programs that I installed that install normally but give
the same error message and cannot run (The application you have launched
requires Microsoft eMbedded Visual Basic Runtime to be installed). When I
follow the advice to tap to download the required files, it turns me loose
at a vague Microsoft site. The windows message is windows\evbruntime.htm.
Where can I get this needed item and how does it get installed? Tks Hutch

Try -

You can download and install the eVB Runtime for Windows Mobile 2003 from
there.

Download one (or both) of my PPC program DEMOs and you will get the eVB
Runtimes ;-)

www.stewartcomputer.com/GotTaGo or www.stewartcomputer.com/Heart

BTW, pockergamer.org said "There are some bizarre programs out there for the
Pocket PC, but GotTaGo must surely count as one of the strangest." LOL!

I don't get it. I downloaded the files all 38 of them from the
Microsoft web site. Then moved them to my PPC. I did not see any file
that was a CAB and tapped them all. Still when I try to run the app I
get the message "app requires MS eMbedded Visual Basic Runtime.

Hi there,

I had the same problem as Hutch, based on your comments I dived into

http://tinyurl.com/24mwb

and got a "msvppc.armv4" zip file, but there is no way to click on it.

Opened with "winzip", I founded 38 archives, tried to click on everyone
and...nothing.

That is actually a .CAB file. Copy it to your device and open it from there
to complete the installation.

However, please note that eVB applications are unlikely to run under the
next version of Windows Mobile. It is strongly advised that developers
planning to target future devices migrate applications to the .NET Compact
Framework.

I have also seen the described error message. However loading the vb
runtime is only a temporary fix. For some reason, even though it's
already loaded, once in a while I get the error message. If I load the
vb runtime on top of the old install, then the error message goes away.
I haven't done anything obvious like cold boot. Also going through
the PPC settings to the "remove programs" applet will show that the vb
runtime is actually already installed.

I have been taking VB programs using Active X and updating the Active X
control to a newer version. Then dragging the resultant .vb file to
the PPC 2003 device and testing.

That's it.

It's been a while but I seem to recall that there is a problem with eVB
where if you uninstall an app that uses eVB, other apps using it that are
still on the device may be broken.
