PocketBuilder includes virtual machines (VMs) for deployment to Pocket PC and Smartphone devices and emulators with any of the following operating systems:
arm for Pocket PC 2002 and 2003 ARM-based devices, and devices and emulators using Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 SE, WM 5, or WM 6 operating systems.
Example devices include HP iPaq, Dell Axim, Toshiba e740, and Symbol PPT-8800.
sparm for Smartphone 2003, and Smartphone devices and emulators using WM 2003 SE, WM 5, or WM 6 operating systems.
Example devices include Audiovox 5600, SPV C500, Motorola MPx, and QTEK 9100.
Windows CE for “bare” Windows CE and Windows CE .NET devices
Example devices include HP Jornada and the Intermec 700 series bar code scanners. The Windows CE platform allows device manufacturers to choose or change the features they implement, so the level of support of Windows CE is not always well specified.
Dropped emulator support
Support for the x86 emulators and the spx86 emulators has
been dropped from the current release.
The PocketBuilder VMs are included in CAB files and subdirectories of the PocketBuilder 2.0 WinCE directory. The CAB files and subdirectories labeled “x86” and “spx86” are left behind from the PocketBuilder 2.0 installation and are no longer supported.

You might also need to download the Virtual Machine Network Driver for your standalone emulator. You can download this driver from the Microsoft Web site. Windows Vista users must install the Windows Mobile Development Center, available from links on the Microsoft Web site
If you installed Visual Studio 2005, you can use the Windows Mobile emulators that come with that product. You can also download the latest Windows Mobile SDK from a link on the Microsoft Web site
