As a newcomer to Visual studio from borland delphi I would like to share my experience on installing with you.
The visual studio 2005 std installed fine.
The Pocket PC 2005 SDK caused all sorts of problems untill I unistalled Norton antivirus. Although the install says disable anti virus I got a script error at the end of the install and the install hung.
Once install I got the PocketPC 2005 emulators etc. On trying to compile an app on a PPC2005(Jasjar) device I got various errors saying Visual studio could not install NETCF2. Not enough memory etc. I tried the netcf2 install from microsoft's site and this gave not enough memory errors.
I had the following memory available once I had un-installed most programs
Storage 12.30 MB Free
Program 9.14 MB free
To re-install netcf2 I needed 5476.
I eventually took out of the startup of the device the CE Antivirus and the problem went away. (Although MS download will still not install Netcf2 on the device)
I then installed the Msql mobile tools and the samples worked fine.
Why this happens I can only guess but my thoughts are MS will be introducing there own Anti virus products and are making other products difficult to install or work with.
Hope this may help anyone with a similar problem.
Cheers

Hi all,
i know this is a little bit off-topic, but I've posted it here in the Universal forum as it's relevant for those of us that have a Crossbow installation on our Universals.
you need version 4.5 of activesync installed to be able to sync.
there's my problem.
I can't get it to install.
the installer gets to about 95% and then the error message appears:
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personal or package vendor."
can anyone help with this problem?
without Activesync my Universal is (for my) useless. I need my contacts & calendar!
I'm putting my trust and hope in you - don't let me down!
Thanks!
Have you tried downloading it again from Microsoft's site in case the one you have is corrupt?
mmmm....
....seems an incredibly abvious thing to do!
have downloaded it several times though and from different machines.
have also emptied my TEMP folder on the PC before installation.
still no luck.
bugger!

Best option run filemon and see what's happening/failing. Try turning off any virusscanner/any other weird app, that might be running buggering up file operations.
symantec
i guess that our corporate virus scanner is interfering.
annoying. the previous installations never caused any problems.
i'll have to see if i can get it to install another way.
i'll post back if i get lucky!
could i install if i do a safe start in windows?
SOLUTION
UPGRADE YOUR WINDOWS INSTALL TO VER. 3.0 download from micros or google it
SOLUTION

HI,
I am trying to run this GPS application called GPS DIS 'GPS Driver Information Service and works with all PDAs running Pocket PC 2002 or higher
GPS DIS was developed for PocketPC 2002. With PocketPC 2003 you will have to install the appropriate VB runtime files.
I have loaded the VB Runtime files onto my P3600i as well as the GPS DIS. The install completes fully, and when i launch the application, i see the spinning microsoft icon indicating its loading then it disappears then returns then disappears again. (It does not lock up)
Then nothing actually loads.
Can someone help, possibly try to load this and let me know if they get a different response.
Does anyone know if VB runtime is included in WM6? If not, which is the best one to install into WM6?
thanks
polite bump,
surely some experts can shed some light on this.
bump bump.
I am also looking to find a vb runtime module for wm6.
pls, any one have any ideas how to achieve this.
As far as I Know there isn't anyone VB Runtime for WM6. Microsoft doesn't support it anymore. I also needed it...
PS: found a way to install it: Install in main memory or internal storage, not in SD. See: http://www.cebeans.com/runtime/runtime.htm
Hi Bicalho,

Download it from here http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/windowsmobile/downloads/evb_eula.aspx and install in Device memory...it should work.
I tried this again with some hope, but again, both apps GPSDIS and VBruntime install successfully and when launching GPSDIS i get the ' you have X times remaining for this trial' then that disappears and the spinning beach ball returns for a couple of seconds then dissapears and nothing.
The search continues...
any new ideas please
i had got email my unlock files but when i try 2 open the software windows restart or some time crash what to do plz reply me fast
the file is VOXv1aUnlock this have virus i had try diffrent computer but same problem
It sounds like you use an UNPATCHED Windows XP SP2 installation in combination with ActiveSync4.5 (you never installed any CRITICAL Microsoft BUG fixes).
Windows XP/SP2 has a bug which causes a blue screen/reboot when an application uses ActiveSync4.5 to communicate with a device.
Solution: Use Windows update and install at least the CRITICAL bug fixes or as minimum install this patch from Microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...b5-1a7e-4110-9694-844706a52db7&displaylang=en
Hello all,
For some reason,activesync 4.5 is refusing to install applications: when I run an application installer on my PC, it comes up with :
"Error in Windows CE setup files: Application manager cannot install this application on your mobile device due to an error in the set-up file. reinstall and try again".
If I copy a cab file on the Htc touch HD and run it from there, everything works fine.
It seems that something has been corrupted in Activesync software.
So I tried to reinstall several times without the firewall and antivirus, after deleting all the temps files (%temp%) and deleting partnership documents files, also after deleting system32/RAPI.dll but the "Error in Windows CE setup files" still appears.
Does anybody knows about this specific problem? And how to fix it ?
Looking in forums for a week I didn't find that kind off troubble solved.
I have Activesync 4.5 on windows XP pack3 (before, activesync 4.2 worked very well with an XDA II- Qtek2020)
Thank you very much !
Hi all
Great forum...
I am trying to deploy an application from Visual Studio 2005 to my Zest phone. I have done this a hundred times in the past but for some reason it is now failing with an error:
The device security configuration disallowed the connection. Ensure that you have the appropriate certificates on your device for development. Review your SDK documentation for proper security settings for connecting to this device.
I have wasted two days now trawling the net trying to find a solution but with no luck.
I have tried to instal the SDKCerts.cab but it simply wont install.
I have tried to edit the registry using mobile registry editor but get access is denied.
I have tried to install enablerapi but that fails to install also.
I have move the .exe manually and tried to run it but it complains that the app is not signed with a trusted certificate.
I am not too clued up on certificates so I really don't know where to go next.
Any help really apprciciated.
