Run Command Prompt on a Mobile Device
Comments(0) The Command Prompt is not available on a Windows Mobile device out-of-the-box. So if you want to do some command-line compiling or registering a DLL on the mobile device you’ll have to install the PPC Command Shell Power Toy. You can download it here. Follow the instructions in the ReadMe file to set it up.
PPC Command Prompt
However, a few of my colleagues have come across the following problem:
When you double-click the cmd.exe on the mobile device, it does not launch the Command Prompt window.
The solution was quite simple yet hard to find. Edit the mobile device’s Registry and change the OutputTo DWORD value to “0″ under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Drivers \ Console folder.
Editing the Registry
If you have Visual Studio 2005 installed, you can access the Remote Registry Editor under Visual Studio Remote Tools. Or there are a bunch of Registry Editors out there for mobile devices that you can use e.g. CeRegEditor and PHMRegEditor.
