<div dir="ltr">Hi, Lachezar.<br><br>I would agree with Jared. Not having used any XScale devices, I do not have what you might call hard evidence, but a quick Google for ARM and XScale lead me to the MSDN website, which seems to confirm that compiling for XScale is a specific target (and would therefore suggest that ARM compiled packages may not work).<br>
<br>My iPAQ uses WM5 v5.1.1702 and happily runs PythonCE 2.5.<br>
<br>
One other thought is to try to update your operating system on the XScale device as much as possible and then re-try the PythonCE install package (maybe there are some compatibility settings you can enable/disable in the OS?).<br>

<div dir="ltr">Firstly, the Active Sync method merely automates the copy .CAB/install process--you're not missing out in anything.<br>The only problem I can thing of is that of your processor: your device runs XSale, while I believe the .CABs are compiled for ARM<div>

Hello list members.<br>
Recently our project (Java based) grew into the mobile devices range.<br>
However the devices had a serious flaw (for us): the Windows CE<br>
operating system.<br>
For some time we were able to develop based in the Pocket IE<br>
available on the device and use an AJAX+Server-Side approach to do our<br>
work.<br>
<br>
Recently we hit some use cases where this approach would not work,<br>
or would need serious development in order to provide the needed<br>
interaction requirements.<br>
<br>
We could not find a Java VM to suit our needs, and development using<br>
Microsoft's development frame is a No-No for us.<br>
<br>
That is why I undertook the challenge to evaluate Python based development.<br>
<br>
Here I took my first blow... The files on the SourceForge site did<br>
not install on the device.<br>
The device is: <a href="http://www.mobilecompia.co.kr/en/sub01/sub01_1.php" target="_blank">http://www.mobilecompia.co.kr/en/sub01/sub01_1.php</a><br>
It features Windows CE 5.0 on an Intel XScale PXA processor with a<br>
number of crucial features for our application (WLAN, WWAN, Barcode<br>
scanner).<br>
<br>
Since we are working with Linux/BSD workstations I was unable to try<br>
the Active Sync method, and was forced to download the CAB files,<br>
however when trying to install the application I get a 'Setup Failed'<br>
message:<br>
<br>
> The application cannot run on this device type.<br>
> Please install the application specific to this device type.<br>
<br>
This is with both CAB files:<br>
PythonCE-25-20061219.PPC2003_ARM.CAB<br>
and<br>
PythonCE.WM.CAB<br>
<br>
I tried also the 'Pocket PC Python' from<br>
<a href="http://www.murkworks.com/Research/Python/PocketPCPython/Overview" target="_blank">http://www.murkworks.com/Research/Python/PocketPCPython/Overview</a><br>
That WORKS! But since it's Python 2.2 the GUI toolkits refuse to<br>
work (no annotations?).<br>
<br>
Can you please advise further?<br>
