Hi! If you execute the msi (TFU001_BeckhoffHttpClient.msi) on your target system, the function will be installed.
You can verify the installation looking under the following path on your target system: C:\TwinCAT\Functions\Unofficial\BeckhoffHttpClient\

Oh! I'm really sorry, but the installer actually does not support Windows CE.
I'm not a specialist with windows CE, but I suppose that if you can install the required .net Framework (4.6.2) on your target you could manually place the function files in the right path for your target.

The Software is compiled as a single exe file, so you can install the TFU001_BeckhoffHttpClient.msi on your pc and then copy the whole directory C:\TwinCAT\Functions\Unofficial\BeckhoffHttpClient\ to your target plc under the same path.

Ok, I got you!

I realized that the installer had a problem that I have now fixed.
this is the latest version https://github.com/fbarresi/BeckhoffHttpClient/releases/tag/1.0.12
Sadly you cannot run the software under windows CE, because it has to be compiled for .Net 3.5 Compact Framework. Since none of its dependencies support it, the software cannot be ported to Windows CE aswell.

I really regret, but you should use another plc that supports Windows 7 or Windows 10.
The software was tested with a CX51xx and CX20xx both with windows 10.
