Do I need to install Windows Embedded CE 6.0 before installing R3?

I need to install the Windows Embedded CE development tools on my system. Right now I am using Windows XP SP2.

I have the installers for Windows Embedded CE 6.0, and Windows E开发者_如何学JAVAmbedded CE 6.0 R3 and R2 editions.

I don't know which ones I need to install, and which order I need to install them in.

How can I successfully install it? Also, is it supported in Windows 7?

Whenever you face a question like this, you need to start by reading the download details that MS provides:

• Supported Operating Systems: Windows CE Windows Vista, Windows 2000 Service Pack 4, Windows XP Service Pack 3

...

• Required Software:

  • Windows Embedded CE 6.0
  • Visual Studio 2005 (except Express)
  • Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1
  • Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista (if applicable)
  • Windows Embedded CE 6.0 SP1 (required if PB 6.0 Tools have been installed)
  • Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2

So there's your answer: You need to install CE 6.0, then CE 6.0 R2, and finally CE 6.0 R3. And Windows 7 is not supported... But Vista is, so you might be able to get away with it anyway; if not, you could try the XP Mode VM available for Windows 7 Professional edition.
