Spy problems

I can connect with remote File View, RegEdit, HeapView, Process View to any of the Emulators or a real PPC2003 device. But when I run Spy I get either

“The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process”

“Invalid Signature”when I connect to an emulator (if the emulator is not running it will bring it up)

OR

“The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process ” if I try to connect to a real PPC2003 …


Any ideas what might be wrong or what I might be missing ?

The remote spy tool doesn't work for Beta 2.

Here is a workaround suggested on another thread:

I found a solution, Connect WM 5.0 emulator with ActiveSync through DMA transport,then use evc 4.2 remote spy connect to ppc device will work, that's great!

Thanks,

Thank you ... although I'm not quite sure I understand the workaround I will have a play. Why oh why was WM 5 SDK dependent .NET 2005... everything was perfect before ... and now we have little gotcha's which will take ages to sort out.

The issue with Spy not connecting is an issue in Beta2 that has been fixed in a post Beta2 build of VS2005.
Unhappily the fix didn't make into B2. :(

Thanks for the information. Any idea when the fix will be made available ?

The current internal builds have the fix so the next public build should have the fix.
