Windows Mobile 6?

Does the support for Windows Embedded CE 6.x include Windows Mobile 6? I.e. if I were to mark a file as being only installed on WM5, would it be installed on WM6 as it is now? If it were marked for WECE6 would it install on WM6?

As far as I know Windows Mobile 6 is based on Windows CE 5, not CE 6.

I would expect a file marked to install to Windows Mobile 5 to also install on Mobile 6.

Has anyone done a test of this and know for sure it works?

I tested it sometime ago and as I recall, a file marked to install on Windows Mobile 5 will also install on Windows Mobile 6. That is, until Windows Mobile 6 is explicitly added to the list. There is a property that indicates which versions to target that has a large max property to help ensure it will install on later versions.

I only tested on a Windows Mobile 6 device from ATT and my Windows Mobile 5 installation works correctly on Mobile 6. I tested this last week.
