Pocket visual Basic

Hi Folks

Anyone no where to get Pocket visual Basic?? Need the ce2 version.

Here's link http://www.hpcfactor.com/developer/

EDIT: Was not specific enough

There is no VB version for 2.0 there. Moreover, I tried copying all the 2.11 SH3 files to my Jornada, but I still can't run any .pvb applications. I get an error message saying that pvb.exe is required but not installed. I'm just a village idiot; maybe someone can shed some light here.

i have got the same problem. my 620lx from hp has got the vbce toolkit runtime, they re not enough for games like dartboard and dograces(tucows.com).

m$ support doesnt know a possibility either.
maybe there s a rom upgrade available.

my problem is the same....

Oops, I was wrong.

I know this may be wrong but there must be a pocket visual basic for wince2 I say this because several Pvd apps have been written for WINCE2 and indeed they stated that you will need pvb to run these apps. So the question is ARE authors WRONG or has it simply disappeared??

they develop for w/CE 2.11. this is also a CE2 version. maybe there is the possibility to hack into microsoft servers and steal the sources of pvb runtimes ;-)

Ok, lets have a clear up here.

Pocket Visual Basic (PVB) files are just compiled runtime files for the Visual Basic Runtime and MFC library.
The MFC libraries for all H/PC devices can be download in HPC:Factor Developer - hpcfactor.com/developer/

To write software for Windows CE 2.00 devices, either in C++ or VB6, you need Visual Basic / Visual C++ 6.0, the Windows CE Toolkit for VB/VC 6.0.
There is no official free Visual Studio release for programming Windows CE 2.0, only 2.11. There is a hack to semi make the SDK for Windows CE 2.0 work with eVT3 - there is another thread on this in the developer section. The 2.0 SDK can be downloaded from HPC:Factor developer.

The hack is not supported, it is not fully integrated and it is not idea.

You cannot program Windows CE PVB's on Windows CE itself. If you wish to program on device you need to look at NSBasic or one or two other basic style languages.

and where can the pvb or vb runtime or whatever be downloaded? to run programs. not to program on the device. or maybe we (at least i) misunderstood something

Dev section.

for CE 2?

er... yea

... and before you attack me with something sharp and pointy. I just checked my local copy of the download server, and the HPC2.0 RTL's are in it.

Just in case the zip is corrupted I will remake the zip file and reupload it - but it works for me ok. I've highlighted the versions on the dev page also.

download the VB redist again from hpcfactor, you will find pvb.exe for 2.0 etc in it for sure!!

No luck. There does not appear to be a full set for either 2.0/SH3 or 2.11/SH3. I had to copy a combination of the two to my 680e (pvb.exe and pvbrt.dll 2.0 versions, everything else 2.11), and I still get an error message saying, "There are missing or unregistered files. Please run setup again to restore these files." Will the 2.0 pvb.exe file support 2.11 DLLs? If not, what can I do other than cry?
