Re: Visa Beta 2 + VS2005 + WM5 SDK - broken?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

The Visual Studio team is testing on Windows Vista, and we encountered the
problem with the Windows Mobile SDKs too.

Can you try turning off UAC(User Account Control) in
ControlPanel->UserAccounts->ChangeSecuritySettings, and then install WM 5.0
SDK? That should cause the project templates to be installed.

Has anyone tried Vista Beta 2 for Windows Mobile 5 development?

I tried it last night but was unsuccessful.

I had a clean install of Vista Beta 2. I installed Visual Studio 2005.
Everything went fine, no problems there (apart from expected requests for
Admin privs etc). I then installed the Windows Mobile 5 PocketPC SDK.
This installed fine (again, with admin requests) - no errors.

I then hooked up my PDA (HTC Wizard) and Vista detected it, installed the
necessary sync parts and everything looked okay. (No need for ActiveSync
any more in Vista).

However, when I go into Visual Studio now to create a SmartDevice project,
I don't see the Windows Mobile 5 option. Neither are the WM5 emulator
images available in the emulator selector.

I did a search and came up with this link:
http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2006/05/29/610269.aspx

Here the Windows Mobile team say they've never seen this, but there's
plenty of people with the same issue as me - installs okay but no WM5
projects available.

I can build WM2003 apps fine, and I can deploy them to WM5 devices - the
problem is just the WM5 SDK and it not integrating with VS2005 in Vista
Beta 2.

Anyone experienced this and found a solution?

Thanks
