Re: VS.NET 2003/ActiveSync 3.8 and VS.NET 2005/ActiveSync 4.0

Thanks Ginny,

Unfortunantly, using wireless for debugging & deploying is exactly what I
was attempting to do. I hope the final version will add this feature back
in.

In the mean time, after uninstalling 4.0, reinstalling 3.8, finding it
didn't work any more, going through the install log to locate all the files
left behind by 4.0 & manually deleting them, uninstalling 3.8, reinstalling
3.8, I found that going to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE
Services and changing MajorVersion to 4 and MinorVersion to 0 allowed me to
use 3.8 with VS2005 and still have my wireless. Not what I'd want to do on
a production machine, but that's a problem for another day.
