3 C++ programming with Visual Studio
3.1 SDK – Software Development Kits for ACD devices
SDKs define the functionality of the custom-compiled CE kernel installed on the CE devices. They are
provided separately by ACD according to the Windows CE / device classes.
3.1.1 Installation
All the required SDKs are available on the ACD developer CD. A distinction is made between Windows CE
5 / 6 and ACD device (SE / non-SE).
Make sure during installation that the installation file is installed locally on the PC with administrator rights.
If you install SDKs without assigning administrator rights, this will not necessarily prompt error messages yet
the SDK cannot be integrated into Visual Studio.
As a rule, Visual Studio should be programmed to run with administrator rights only in order to avoid
unnecessary side effects caused by unauthorised events that could result in incorrect debugging behaviour.
