This topic seems to generate a lot of confusion, and it is certainly not true that you need to install Visual Studio 2005 to use the PDA Module. Let me clear things up for everyone. As described in this KnowledgeBase article, there are two sets of Microsoft tools that can be installed to use with the LabVIEW PDA Module. The set of tools that includes Visual Studio 2005 will add support for Windows Mobile-specific functionality (such as the Picture Picker). However, using the other set of free tools (eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0, ...), you can still create LabVIEW applications that will run on Windows Mobile devices. This is because you are creating PocketPC executables, which are compatible with Windows Mobile. To summarize, there are two sets of tools: one free, one not free. If you install the tools that are not free, you get added functionality (VIs), but if you install the free tools, you can still create executables that will run on Windows CE, PocketPC 2003, and Windows Mobile devices.
