Run the download here and then spin up Visual Studio 2008. Remember that Windows Mobile is not Windows Phone and does not play well with the modern Visual Studio.
Go to: Tools > Device Emulator Manager ...which will open the Device Emulator Manager. Once it is open you may close Visual Studio 2008 as the pane may run on its own.
Go to: Start Menu > Windows Mobile 6 SDK > Standalone Emulator Images > US English > WM 6.5 Professional ...to bring up the emulator itself. Note, whenever you close this (fake) device by clicking the X at the upper right you will be asked "Do you want to save the emulator state before existing?" and you likely will want to answer to the affirmative if you have prepped the emulator whatsoever. I lost a bunch of changes today in not saying yes.
Next type "Windows Mobile Device Center" at the start menu to spawn the Windows Mobile Device Center. Yes, you now have three little windows spun up at once.
Windows Mobile Device Center has a link to click on for settings. Go to the settings and prep them. Set "Allow connections to one of the following:" to "DMA."
I was asked to install a driver called drvupdate-amd64.exe too at this point (at my work) once all three windows were up and running, but I'm not sure where to grab it online. In the Device Emulator Manager click the Refresh button to see the emulator "appear as a guid" under "Others." Right-click on the guid and pick "Cradle" from the menu which appears. The Windows Mobile Device Center should change to say "Connected."
You should now (on the other side of everything mentioned above) be able to move files onto the (fake) device via "My Computer."
