Getting started on dev for pockect pc apps in VS 2005

Hey all,

I'm just getting started on creating apps for pocket pc in VS 2005, and am
already having some trouble. :)

I just created a new solution that has one form. In this form I've just
dropped a picturebox control and a label. I've added code to the picturebox's
MouseDown event so to update the label's text property with the x,y
coordinates clicked. Nothing fancy there.

If I build the solution, it all compiles like a charm. However, I get
problems when I try running the app. When asked where I want to deploy the
app, I've picked first to deploy to the emulator. I'm told "there were
deployment errors" (the error says "The system cannot find the path
specified"... don't know where that's coming from, though...). If I hit
"continue" on the dialog, I get another message: "The operation could not be
completed. The device is not connected". It actually launches the emulator,
but doesn't show my little app there.

Then, I try running it again, but now deploying to "Pocket PC 2003 Device"
(I've got my actual device connected to the computer, and hotsync is working
with no problem, so I should be good there). This time around, I also get a
"there were deployment errors" dialog. The error says "The configuration data
for this product is corrupt. Contact your support personnel.". Dang. What
"configuration data"? What "product"? What "support personnel"? Couldn't
somebody be more specific on the error messages?!

Anyways, does anybody have any clue on what may be going on?

Oh, for the record, I'm running VS 2005 RTM (v. 8.0.50727.42).

Tks a bunch for any help.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for answering.

yeah, I did have pre RTM versions installed at some point. I just ran the
uninstaller, rebooted the computer, but that still didn't fix the problems
I'm having... any other ideas?
