If you don't have a "PRIVATE" subfolder in your Windows CE installation subtree or if it's almost empty, go finding the installation CD and re-launch the installation.

Fellow MVP Jochen Dieckfoß has posted a tutorial about Silverlight for Windows Embedded development using the new tools included in the Windows Embedded Compact 7 CTP on his blog “Discover the Windows Embedded Experience”.
In this tutorial step we will develop a very simple clock application that may be used as a screensaver on our devices and will allow us to discover a new feature of Silverlight for Windows Embedded (transforms) and how to use an “old” feature of Windows CE (timers) inside a Silverlight for Windows Embedded application.
One of the most important aspects of this new platform is that it will be programmed using a new set of tools and frameworks, completely different from the ones used on older releases of Windows Mobile (or SmartPhone, or PocketPC or whatever…).

In this second tutorial we will learn how to use storyboards to create animations inside our user interface and how we can control them from code.
One of the most exciting new features of R3 is Silverlight for Windows Embedded. With this technology the UI of an application can be described using XAML, an XML-based language, and can be designed using visual tools like Expression Blend.
Windows Embedded Standard 8 CTP is now available for download on MS connect. I am nearly done downloading and once I have some idea about it I’ll post my impression of it.
Windows 8 Preview couldn't be reinstalled on a disk on which this Preview version of Windows 8 had previously been installed!
At last I had the time to continue with my work on creating device drivers for the various parts of Kinect, the motor driver is up and running. I got a hell of a lot of info from the Open Kinect Wiki site and hopefully the camera and audio drivers will be operating soon. After that I plan on creating an NUI API equivalent for WEC7. One thing this project has helped me is cleaning up the act of the device driver wizard portion of creating USB device drivers.
