- Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0
This article was previously published under Q242499 SUMMARY
If you attempt to install the Microsoft ADO for Windows CE SDK (ADOCE) onto a machine where Windows CE Services has not been installed, you receive the following error message:
Setup could not find Windows CE Services 2.0 installed on your system. Please install Windows CE Services before installing this application.
This occurs even if ActiveSync 3.0, the upgrade to Windows CE Service 2.x, has been previously installed.
MORE INFORMATION
You can override this behavior as long as ActiveSync 3.0 is installed. To work around this problem, open the ADOCE.STF file using Notepad.exe or a similar text-only editor, and change the following line:
2 Windows CE Services 2.0 CustomAction "adosetup.dll,
AddAppSrch,""Required,C:\,ceappmgr.exe,2.0,3 4"""
to:
2 Windows CE Services 2.0 CustomAction "adosetup.dll, AddAppSrch,""Required,C:\,ceappmgr.exe,3.0,3 4"""
