You can run VC 5.0 under Windows 95/98 but you will not be able to use the emulator. You may be able to run VC 6.0 under Windows 95/98 (but you will not be able to use the emulator). It was mentioned on one of the CE newsgroups that as of 6.0, the Windows CE Toolkit will not allow installs to 95/98, but I have only seen this comment once. I haven’t tried this (I did use the 5.0 toolkit on 95 and 98 without trouble). However, several other people have written stating that the 6.0 Toolkit does install under 95/98, so I’d bet that there really isn’t any problem with this approach.
