Custom WinCE 5.0 and VS 2005 Beta2. Connection question.

So, I have a custom board and windows ce 5.0 built to our needs.
I have active sync built into the image.
Now, comes the problem. VS 2005 Beta2 asks for an tcp/ip (transport) and to have activesync (bootstrapper). Then I try to connect and get "Connection failed. The current version of ActiveSync is not supported. Install the latest version from www.microsoft.com.".
Well, I got activesync 3.8. That is the latest I found. As a component for PB 5.0, where can I find the latest activesync component to include in my image?
If this matter, the red X after it failed was on the desktop side.
Thanks
RM.

You'll need to download AS4.0 from:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/c/4/5/c45f8f83-6383-43d7-840b-cb9638484e4d/setup.exe
There were known issues in Visual Studio B2 targetting windows CE built devices via ActiveSync, it may work depending on the hardware you are targetting but you may need to target the device without using AS as the bootstrap and use the intructions listed here:

I'm inteseted with the second method.
But I found it's hard for remote team development using ethernet,because I have to run cMaccept.exe on the smart device manually verytime that I want to connetted to it.It doesn't seem to be a remote debugging for I have to run to the smart device everytime that I debug an application on the device.
Can I make cMaccept.exe run automaticly in the backgroud of the smart device without running it manully every time I want to connect to the device using remote tools?
How to？
Or some other methods？

You can set a registry on the device to disable the cmaccept.exe usage. You can read the posting here: http://blogs.msdn.com/vsdteam/archive/2005/04/28/413304.aspx, but note it opens a TCP/IP port and anyone on the same IP network as you will have access to the device.

I can't find any registry key like "HLKM\CoreConOverrideSecurity = 1" on my device.
And I created a new key named 'CoreConOverrideSecurity' under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,and set the value to be 1.But it seems not help.I still have to run cMaccept.exe one the device every time when I want to connet to it using a remote tool.Either I set the registry to 0 still not help.
Did I set a wrong value or created a wrong key?

You can set the correct registry key. Now restart conmanclient2.exe on the device.
