Platform Builder - Where to get?

Although I've been a C++ developer for over 10 years, I'm new to CE
development. The company I work for has many CE devices and little
support from the vendor who installed these devices. Therefore, I
have been charged with the responsibility to make sense of them and
figure out how to maintain and develop for them from here on out.

I have installed eMbedded C++ 3.0 and 4.0 and tested both with a
simple test app. However, I see references everywhere to Project
Builder. Apparently, I need Project Builder 3.0 before I can install
ADOCE on my dev box. It didn't get installed with the other dev
tools. Where do I get it? I don't see it anywhere in our MSDN
subscr.

Also, the immediate need I have for ADOCE is to be able to
pull/convert a .cdb file from the device to .mdb, change one of it's
values and push/convert it back to the device.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You're looking for Platform Builder (the CE dev environment).
You can get eval copies from M/S.
You can get licensed copies and support from several vendors. BSQUARE is
one.

Thanks for the reply and for the info.

I'm trying to go the eval route, but got an error when trying to
install (error: "The installation package could not be opened...").
I'm tracing that issue now...

Ordering the CD usually ends up getting it installed faster than trying the
download.
