"Referenced package not found" error

C

I'm using VS2005, CF v2.0, in a Windows CE 5.0 project with several
references to other assemblies, including some that are CF v1.1.

Upon adding one reference and using it, I get a deployment error
(compiling works): it says "Referenced package not found."

What is a package? WHICH one wasn't found? And what can I do to fix
this? The error message is frustratingly unhelpful. What are the
steps to troubleshoot? Google is turning up less than a handful of
unhelpful links.

I had the same problem even with a very small project as soon as I added a
third party reference, even if I didn't use it. This helped me:

- Close Visual Studio
- Rename the directory c:\documents and settings\<user name>\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CoreCon to e.g. CoreCon.bak
- Open Visual Studio again which will regenerate the CoreCon directory
