Can't get OpenNETCF to install correctly. (1.3)

[skgonyea]

Computer is an AMD64 3000+ with Windows XP Pro SP2. I'm using Visual
Studio .NET 2003, and have the Smartphone 2003 and Pocket PC 2003 SDKs
installed as well.

When I install the SDF version 1.3, it will complete the install and I
can create an OpenNETCF project. However, some namespaces within the
OpenNETCF are unavailable. I.E. OpenNETCF.Net is unavailable, as well
as half of the others. But the Drawing namespace, IO, etc, are
available.

Can anyone help me figure out what is wrong? Thank you, very much.

i had your same problem. i read about it on the opennetcf forums and
scoured the place and found that version 1.3 has a lot of problems.
Some have even suggested to the developers to take the link off the
main page but oh well.

Anyway, first, uninstall version 1.3. Once you finish uninstalling it,
be noted that the files have not been fully uninstalled because there
are some things that need to be fixed with the uninstaller. Afer that,
do a search on your computer for "OpenNetCF*.dll". Basically it just
searches for any DLL with OpenNetCF on the filename. Once you find them
all, delete them all.

Afer that download OpenNETCF V1.2 from the link below and once its all
done, you would be able to compile and run the emulator properly.
Worked for me.

I've done multiple things, including what you suggest, but I still
don't have access to OpenNETCF.Net namespace.

This is incredibly frustrating.

It seems that you did not add reference to OpenNETCF.Net assembly. Go to
Project->Add Reference. In the dialog increase the size of Path column
to see v1.0.5000\Windows CE\OpenNETCF.Net.dll then click Select button
on this item (it should be the fourth "Smart Device Framework" item).
