INFO: VBCE Does Not Run on Windows 95 and Windows 98

• Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0
• Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 5.0, version 1.0

SUMMARY

The Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 5.0 (VBCE) requires Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3.

The beta version of VBCE5, which had limited functionality, ran on Windows 95; the released version requires Windows NT 4.0.

MORE INFORMATION

The main reason the Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 5.0 requires Windows NT 4.0 is that the Windows CE operating system is Unicode-based, and only Windows NT 4.0 provides complete emulation capabilities.

The Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0, however, is operable under Windows 95 and Windows 98.
