eMbedded Visual Basic Runtime needed

[GLO]

Has anyone managed to successfully run any apps that needs 'embedded Visual Runtime Basic'

I downloaded it from MS and loaded it to the tytn II and then loaded the app which appears to install successfully, but when i launch the app i just get 2 loading (spinning) icons then nothing.

the app i want to run is GPS DIS pro 3.4 which needs VB runtime files to work.

I had the same problem on the HTC P300i also.

Any tips/help is appreciated.

I have a evb program on my tilt that I wrote a couple years back and it runs just fine. Im not familiar with that program so I cant really help you with it but you can definately run evb programs on the tilt/kaiser/tytn II.

Thanks Ren13B,

which VB Runtime file did you load? (link please)

I tried another app that needed VB Runtime also but that wouldnt load also.

ps. are you driving an R100?

Sorry I dont remember where I got it. I just did a google search for it because the link they give you if you dont have it installed is now dead. Doing a quick search now pulls up http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/windowsmobile/downloads/evb.aspx which should provide you with what you need. That page states the runtime is no longer supported on anything past Pocket PC 2003 so that might be your problem.

I drive a RX-8 right now. Renesis13B

Thanks Ren13B,

That is the link that i used already. I had some other posts that indicated that it should be installed on the device and not the storage card, which i have done.

Some others like yourself have indicated that they have gotten it running in WM6, but none of my 2 apps being GPS DIS pro3.4 and Geoapps GPS Stealth 1.00.

Could you try them and let me know if you can get them to run?

Cheers!

PS. Ever thought about dropping in a 20B???

[Ren13B]

Sure, I can try them. Can you post links for them or pm the links if they arent free apps?

I had a 2nd gen RX7 that I wanted to put a 20B in but it was too costly at the time. Im keeping the RX8 relatively stock for now. Cant afford to have car troubles these days.

Nevermind..i found a trial version. Trying it now.

Doesnt run on mine either. I get the same two spinning icons and nothing else happens.

try a soft reset,

when i did that i got a tad further. (to the point where it tells me that i have used X number of 15 tries.

Thanks
