How can I deploy a smart device application to a reconfigured WinMo emulator?

I've reconfigured the default Windows Mobile 6 Professional emulator to increase it's memory size and now I would like to deploy and debug my CF application on it.

The problem is that it is not possible to select this newly created emulator configuration from the Target Device drop-down in VS2008. If I select Windows Mobile 6 Professional Emulator, it simply starts the default emulator.

Is it possible to run the application on a custom emulator configuration?

From stackoverflow
  • Presumably you have a .decfg config file for your custom emulator? Make sure you store it in your [User]\My Documents\My Device Emulators folder.

    If you then have a look in the Device Emulator Manager (in the Tools menu) in VS2008 it should show up under My Device Emulators. And it should also appear in the dropdown on the Device toolbar, where you can select it to start debugging on it.

    MichaƂ Drozdowicz : No go, unfortunately. I have the .decfg in My Device Emulators, it's displayed in the Device Emulator Manager as you say, but still doesn't show up in the Device drop down. I've obviously restarted VS since creating the file.
