hello. Sorry for late reply.

I reinstalled all software. Labview 7.1, pda module, Microsoft embedded visual c++ 4.0, microsoft emebede c++ sp4, sdk for pocket pc.

I open the example the in in the examples directoy of national instruments( Pda tutorial). When I press BUILD FOR PDA, the mouse cursor changes to sand clock and back. That's it. I should recieve the Build Settings dialog box, but nothing happens. Could you please help. I am trying to build an application for collage, but I can't even get started.

Best regards

Hello again Boris,

This issue still sounds like its a software installation issue to me.  Could you perhaps provide us with a little more information about your set-up -- specifically which PDA are you using, what is the version of Pocket PC running, which version of the PDA toolkit do you have, are you using a 64 bit development system, etc...?

Our PDA module requires that software be installed in a certain order for things to work the best.  The proper order is:
 

·  Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0

·  Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 SP 3.0 or later

·  Microsoft SDK for Windows Mobile 2003-based Pocket PCs

·  Microsoft ActiveSync

·  National Instruments LabVIEW 7.1 PDA Module for PocketPC

·  DAQmx Base 1.0 for PDA or later

In addition to confirming this, please take a look at these links:

Hello again

I just finished installin in that order that you suggested. But when I try to install Ni-DAQmx Base 1.5, I get the following error message "The system cannot find the path specified".

And I question "Continue?"

If I choose YES, the same error until the end of instalation

if I choose NO, tha instalation aborts.

I hope that this will help you.

Regards,

Boris

Hello

Solved the problem with NI-DAQmx 1.5

So now I've installed all the software. Reboot the computer and tried to download Toturial Pocket pc.vi to my pocket pc. W hen I hit Build for PDA nothing happens. Simply blink of the cursor and that is it.  I think I sholud recive some sort of Build settings box but nothing.

My knowledge ends here.

Hope you are able to help me with this.

Regards,

Boris

Hello Boris,

Thanks for the reply; I have a few more questions for you regarding this system.  First, are you able to run this program in the PDA Emulator?  Select the Emulator as a target, and let us know what happens.  Also, make sure that your PDA toolkit is properly licensed -- you can open the NI License Manager from (Start->Programs->National Instruments) to check this.  Which version of the PDA toolkit are you using?  What happens when you press the RUN button directly (instead of selecting "Build for PDA")? 

I look forward to hearing back from you,

Travis

Hello

If I select emulator for target it is as with the pocket pc 2003 device. Nothing happens. Just mouse changes for a second or two and that is it. Pda module is licensed( under STATUS: Activated for this computer)

I have these selections under Options/Run button action for pda devices

*  Build application

* Download application

* do not launch or debug application

Also nothing happens, except mouse changeing.

Regards,

Boris

Hello again Boris,

If your examples do not even work with the Pocket PC Emulator, this is most certainly a software installation issue.  I will take a look into this a little more and post when I come up with anything, but in the meantime please review the documentation to ensure that all the software was installed with the proper versions (AND service packs) in the proper order. 

Thanks, and I'll post again here when I have more information for you,
