I'm working on a project with CE 6.0 and I need to rebuild the tree. My problem is that I have to update the tree up to May 2009, this requires the 2008 rollup and the following 5 monthly updates, but I can't find them (there's the 2009 rollup and the following 2010 monthly updates).
I can't upgrade to a newer release as our platform is incompatible with R3 and post-May 2009 updates.
Of course if it would be possible to upgrade the platform so that it would be compatible with R3, I would upgrade, but it is currently not possible for two reasons:
There's a third party middleware that's not compatible with R3.
The product that has already been deployed (hundreds of thousands of devices) has currently an image based on CE 6.0 R2 upgraded to May 2009, an I want to recreate that environment.
Is there a place where I can download the "archived" updates?

Recently, however, Microsoft has ended developing more updates for this system. According to Microsoft, it will cease all platforms of support for Windows CE.
When is the end of life for Windows CE? While Windows CE 2013 will reach end of extended support in late 2023, Microsoft will allow license sales to continue for Windows Embedded Compact 2013 until 2028. And of course, Windows CE devices can continue to be used indefinitely.
