VS 2005 beta2 - Referenced package not found

I have just installed VS 2005 beta2. I created a smartphone application with a simple textbox and when I try to run (F5) using emulator I get a deploy error.

The output log shows:

SMP1 -> C:\dev\SMP1\SMP1\bin\Debug\SMP1.exe
Deploy started: Project: SMP1, Configuration: Debug Any CPU
Referenced package not found.
========== Build: 1 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========
========== Deploy: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========

Any ideas?

Are you able to build a PocketPC application ?

I also have this problem. Tried building a PPC app as suggested - it worked. Have installed ActiveSync 4.0 and the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone SDK. Still no go. Any ideas?

Did either of these machines have an older version of VS 2005 Beta 2 on them which was removed ?

I had no prior version of VS 2005 Beta 2 on mine, only VS 2003 which was uninstalled prior to installing VS 2005 Beta 2.

Can you also try and create some other project types including Smartphone and desktop project to see what errors you are getting. I just scanned our internal bug database and didn't see any active or previous issues around that.

I'll continue to investigate this (also please log a bug using http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/default.aspx) so it gets the QA Team attention as well

Thanks

Hi,

Any resolution of this, I seem to be having the same problem. I have a packet PC app that has 3 native dlls and 2 managed modules. The managed modules fail with
"Referenced package not found" it also mentions "conman helpsystem" as the file not being found.

Regards

Sorry, that should be a smartphone app, not a 'packet pc' !!

Hi, try to rename directory C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CoreCon. Don't forget to close Visual studio before renaming.
