Unable to install VNC Server to Windows CE 6.0 - windows-7

Two computers being connected to a network. I need to run VNC Server on Windows CE 6.0, and Connect from VNC Viewer on Windows 7.
I used TightVNC for Windows 7 but I am unable to install TightVNC to Windows CE 6.0.
Please guide me from here. I tried different TightVNC installers from http://www.tightvnc.com/download-old.php but failed. As soon as I try to run installer, it says
"There is no application associated with tightvnc-2.8.5-gpl-setup-32bit. Run the application first, then open this file from within the application."
It was a .msi file, but I found a .exe installer also but when I ran it on WinCE, it says
"Application tightvnc-1.3.10-setup.exe encountered a serious error and must shut down"
Please help me here. Should I try any other VNC Server-client for WinCE and Win7?
Thank you!

You could try using EfonVNC. I see from the website that the version says v4.3 but when you download the EXE you will find it is v4.1.1.1. Deploy to your device and then start it automatically on device power-up or by code. Here is some example C# code to do just that:
ProcessStartInfo pinfoVNC = new ProcessStartInfo();
pinfoVNC.FileName = PATH-TO-VNC-ON-YOUR-DEVICE;
Process.Start(pinfoVNC);

Cannot install my own written kernel driver

I've been working on a kernel-mode driver for Windows 10 using Visual Studio 2015. I can install my driver on VM (which has the exact same version of Windows that I've installed on my host computer) using Visual Studio run and it works just fine. Now I want to install it on the host PC (the primary Windows). First of all, I enabled Test Signing on it. I right clicked on driver inf file and selected Install. It asked if I was sure and I clicked on Yes. After a few seconds a dialog box is shown saying The operation completed successfully. but in fact nothing happens.
It's not being shown in Device Manager on host computer while it is on test computer.
No debug message appears in DebugView related to my driver.
NOTHING is written in setupact.log
I'm using release for x64 configuration. I wonder if there's anything I'm missing in the project config.
I also tried restarting my PC after installation, but it's not working. Can anybody help me?
The solution I found is really odd.
I was using a standard class provided by Microsoft called "SoftwareDevice" and I could install the driver on my Test computer only using Visual Studio Remote Kernel Debugger. However, I had to register and use a custom class and then I could successfully install the driver.

VS2015 debugging on remote machine, Connection always fails

When follow the tutorial Run Windows Store apps on a remote machine,Visual Studio 2015 can't connect to the remote debugging tools.
VS2015 finds the remote machine, and it can be selected. However when you will try to run the application on the remote machine, the Remote debugger will simply say "Connection from XXX failed".
Neither it, nor visual studio provide any clue as to what happened.
This happens because the tutorial links an old version of remote debugger.Current version can be found at their Download Center.
Up to date guide:
Deploying and debugging Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps.
It seems to be Microsoft's custom to have multiple, mutually contradictiong versions of the same documentation.

How-to download Windows Process Activation Service (WAS)

I'm getting an error when I try to start an Application Pool in IIS7.
The error is called Service WAS was not found on computer'.'.'
I then googled "download Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) and I can't seem to find away to download it.
I'm running this on AWS on a remote desktop from my Windows 7 OS.
It is included in Windows and no additional download is needed.
You need to open Turn Windows features on or off in Control Panel and install it from there.

Visual Studio 2008 Debugging Windows Embedded CE 6.0 application

I'm trying to debug a Windows CE 6.0 embedded application built with the STANDARDSDK_500 (ARMV4I) SDK using Visual Studio 2008. It builds and deploys however when it gets to the stage of starting the application it throws up the error "Unable to start debugging".
I am able to connect to the remote registry so CoreCon is running and connecting OK. I have connected as a "Windows CE Device" using a fixed IP address (although I have also tried dynamic IP address).
At this stage I have no idea what the problem is, I've checked the executable with dependency walker and the only 2 DLL's missing are COREDLL.DLL and WS2.DLL which are both present on the CE device in \Windows.
I've tried starting the built executable on the device and nothing happens. I have configured the CE device to create dump files but nothing is created.
Any ideas what could be wrong? What I can check next?

Deploying Datasnap Service

Using C++ Builder under Rad Studio XE I have created a simple Datasnap server service from scratch. I wanted to test the service installation process before adding any functionality, and found that while it will install successfully on a range of Windows machines, I haven't been able to get it to Start under a clean installation of Windows 7 x64.
The error message trying to start the service is: Windows could not start the service on Local Computer. Error 2: The system cannot find the specified file.
I have turned off both dynamic linking and run-time libraries. It starts fine under Windows XP and 2003 operating systems, just not this single Win7 machine that I have. I have opened the firewall for the specified ports, and confirmed no other app is using them as well. The service was installed under Administrator, and logs on as Local System account.
Is there a problem with a C++ Builder compiled service under Windows 7, or maybe 64 bit? Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction so I don't have to bang my head against the wall too many more time.
Thanks!
Since C++ Builder creates 32bit applications only, make sure you install the service in the c:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder on 64bit Win7 systems. Windows 7 x64 expects to find only 64bit files/services in the system32 folder.
