Question

I'm using Visual Studio 2008, and I'm trying to create a new WinCE project. But when I create the project, an error occurs:

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

What SKU of Visual Studio are you using (Express, Standard, Pro, Ultimate)? Device development is only available in Professional or better, IIRC (it changed with every version of Studio). If you have the proper SKU, you also have to ensure device development support was installed (it can be unchecked during install). If both of those are true, then check to see if the file indicated exists - if not I'd do a repair or reinstall of Studio.
