VS2005 and CF v1.1

I've recently installed VS2005 beta 2 and have a Symbol PDA installed with PocketPC 2003 and CF v1. I noticed in the project templates that I can develop a DeviceApplication(1.0) using this IDE, so I did a quick Hello world app. Compiled fine, but when I attempt to deploy it to the Pocket PC 2003 device I get the following error:

Error 1 The current version of ActiveSync is not supported. Install the latest version fromwww.microsoft.com.

I have ActiveSync 3.8.0 build 5004 installed and its working fine. In other words, I can connect and explore the device without issue. Is this error referring to the ActiveSync running on the PDA?

It means that the ActiveSync version you are using is not supported. VS2005 requires ActiveSync version 4.0. You can download the preview from this link http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/windowsmobile/downloads/default.aspx

Thanks Carl, I've installed 4.0 and fortunately I can still access my Pocket 2003 device. However, I get a different error now, when I attempt to deploy the application to the device:

Error 1 Deployment and/or registration failed with error: 0x80070003. The system cannot find the path specified.
Do you know what this problem is related to?

Thanks.

Did you have a previous version of VS2005 installed on this machine? If so, you will need to delete your user files in \Documents and Settings\<current user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CoreCon as they might be pointing to incorrect paths.

There was no previous version installed and the problem still exists - even if I delete the mentioned files.

I am guessing that the problem is that you converted an old Visual Studio project to a Visual Studio 8 project. As a result the path to the bin directory is not what it is looking for. The name of your project i.e. "SampleProject" is in a folder. You need to create a subfolder within that project also called SampleProject. In this child folder you will put all of your project files. (you will probably need to reclick the .vbproj file to regenerate the solution file.

Hope this helps.
