Relocating eMbedded Visual Basic runtime files? Anyone tried?

Menneisyys · 08-06-05, 09:16 AM

Much as eMbedded Visual Basic will not be supported in forthcoming WM versions, there’s still a lot of apps (for example, Airscanner, some SMS apps etc) that use the eVB runtime. This runtime environment, however, takes some 1.1 Mbytes from the main memory:

Code:

04/11/2000  07:45 PM           121,433 MSCEFile.dll
03/26/2000  08:04 AM            79,450 MSCEImage.dll
03/26/2000  08:04 AM            82,526 MSCEImageList.dll
03/26/2000  08:04 AM           140,381 MSCEListView.dll
03/26/2000  08:04 AM           135,260 MSCEPicture.dll
09/20/2001  12:22 AM           211,545 pvbform2.dll
09/20/2001  12:22 AM            62,553 pvbhost2.dll
09/20/2001  12:22 AM           281,701 vbscript.dll
               9 File(s)      1,114,849 bytes

Has anyone managed to relocate this stuff? I’ve tried hard to accomplish this (System Path; HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\; hexediting \Windows in pvbform2.dll and pvbhost2.dll etc.), without success so far.

With pre-WM2003 devices, that's true - with current ones (WM2003+), however, you need to install it in order to run any VB-based apps (even AirScanner).
