Is there a way to install themes on Windows CE 5. I want it to look similar to Windows Mobile.
Any idea?
I don't think that there are themes to windows CE5, because windows CE produced to RUN Enterprise program not like windows Mobile produce for personal usage.

Is it possible to develop desktop applications for Windows 7 using a machine running Windows 10? I am trying to use WPF for developing the app and have Visual Studio 2015 installed on my device.
I am aware that its not possible to develop Windows 8/10 stores apps on Windows 7 but am not sure if its possible the other way round?
Yes, there is no reason why you couldn't do that.
you can develop a backward compatible WPF app on Windows 10 as long as you don't run code that uses APIs introduced in Windows 10 when it runs on another version of Windows.
You can detect Windows version or better detect features to ensure your app will use the right API depending on the OS it runs.
Check the System.Environment.OSVersion API to detect Windows version

I have a wpf application and want to make it run on a win 8 Lenovo tablet 2(waiting for delivery).
Can I simply execute the application or I must use VS2010/2012?
Thanks in advance.
You can execute the application normally in any machine in any windows version that has the relevant .Net Framework version installed.
I have a WPF project with one external library. Is it possible to make one executable file "*.exe" from this project to run on windows systems even without .net? and how to insert that library into .exe file?
You will need to have the .net framework installed on the clients pc. What this says is that since .Net has been preinstalled on Windows since XP SP1, you should target your application to the runtime that is available on the system you wish to install it on. And since you are targeting WPF you will need to make sure that you have available .net 3.5 or greater. You may want to look into the Client installation of the framework since it is smaller. And you may want to look at this Stackoverflow question
i.e. from above link
Windows .Net Framework
Win 7 SP1 4
win 7 3.5.1 ( can be updated to .Net Framework 4 through windows updates )
windows vista 3.0 ( can be updated to .Net Framework 4 through windows updates )
windows XP Sp 1 2.0
You must have .net installed to use a wpf application. You can use clickonce to make the install experience more friendly to the user, if he doesn't the right version of the .net framework installed.
As for the external third party library, see my answer here for the same issue.
I have VS2010 and Expression studio 4 on my machine. I have done a fair amount of programming on Silverlight. What do I need to get started with development on Windows phone 7. I googled and found out that I need to install VS2010 express for WP7 beta. Can't I just use my existing VS2010 installation with some additional templates and an WP7 emulator? And Is it possible to use blend? Is there anything else required to set up dev environment for wp7
Thanks.
You can download and install the Windows Phone Developer Tools Beta and you are ready to go.
Even if you have VS2010 Pro or higher version installed, you still need to install WP Developer Tools .. This will install the templates for WP development in VS 2010 Pro/ultimate for development of WP7 apps. Also Expression Blend for Windows Phone is different from Expression Studio
