The pocketpc emulator is free and not sold.

thanks for the reply
I have downloaded the sdk and embedded visual tools 3.0
but when I try to instaall the visual it is asking for the
products id number which i haven't got, I tried looking on the ms site but i couldn't find it.
Do you know where i could get this from?
I tried my win xp number but it isn't correct

It's on the microsoft web site. It IS free for the taking. I am going to decline searching for it for you. You'll need to hit that site for the install instructions as well. The link I noted was just one I had handy.
