1.27. How do I copy files to the emulator?
One approach would be to create a file share on your development PC, and then connect to that share via File Explorer in the emulator. You may then copy and paste the files from the share to the emulator's local file system. Another approach would be to add the file(s) to a smart device project and set their Build Action(s) property to "Content". See the Visual Studio .NET online documentation for more information on "File Properties":
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vbcon/html/vbconfileproperties.asp
Step by step instructions for adding a "Content" file to a smart device project:
Open or create a smart device project,
On the View menu, click Solution Explorer,
In Solution Explorer, right-click on your project, point to Add, and click Add Existing Item. Browse to and add the desired file to the project.
Right-click on the file that you added, in solution explorer, and click Properties,
Set the Build Action property to "Content", if it is not already set. 1.28. Why does installation of the PocketPC 2002 SDK fail?

You must ask the OEM to include it in the device's image. If you are the OEM and you are using Platform Builder 4.2, then including the OS Dependencies for the .NET item automatically causes imgdecmp.dll to be part of the emulator image - if that is not working then refer to cesysgen.bat. Another method is to set the environment variable "__SYSGEN_IMGDECMP=1" to explicitly force the DLL into the image.
1.32. How do I programmatically replace Assemblies in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC)?
