Re: Visual Studio.net Professional

Hi
I used a reg viewer resident on the hardware and the
MasterKeysInRegistry was present.

I had a few days away from the office, I have attached a successful
deployment and an unsuccessful one. With the unsuccessful one the pc
does communicate with our hardware a dialog box appears anbd then
disappears very quickly and the deployment then fails.

Security, preventing untrusted devices from establishing connections via the
CoreCon connection which could do bad things to the desktop, would be my
guess. You're sure that you're using the new registry (and not loading an
old version without MasterKeysInRegistry from flash or something)?

What exactly is the error when deployment fails?

I am not making any progress, I don't understand the mechanism of
deployment, why on earth are they using encryption and master key files.

Hi
Unfortunately this hasn't worked for me, I will investigate our system
further and determine exactly what is happening when it goes through the
different startups.

Checking, you're right, it's not in the PB4.2 help. It's documented
well in the PB5 help. You put it in HKLM/Init/BootVars. It's a DWORD
value which you should set to 1 to store the keys in the registry rather
than in the filesystem.

I do not have MasterKeysInRegistry in the registry and I can't find any
reference to it in PB 4.2 help.

Do you have the MasterKeysInRegistry value in the registry? If your
filesystem is killed when you do those clean boots, you're losing any
cryptography keys that were generated to secure the connection to
ActiveSync. Saving them in the registry, if the registry is
persistent should allow it to continue to work after a hard reboot. I
believe that this value is documented in the PB help...

Hi
Our hardware runs windows ce.net 4.2. I am using Visual Studio.net
Professional to test a C# application and am using the deployment
option over USB.

Our hardware has three start up modes

1) WARMBOOT
CE will load the existing RAM copies of file system and registry.
If either of these fail, it will create new clean copies of both from
the ce image.

2) COLDBOOT
CE will create clean copies of both registry and file system from
the ce image. Existing PSM files and registry will remain untouched.

3) CLEANBOOT
CE will use clean RAM filing system and attempt to load registry
from psm.

The problem I have is that I can deploy to the hardware, but if after
that I perform a cold or warm boot, the deployment fails. I find I
must perm a cold boot for the deployment to function again.

Has anyone experienced any such issues with Visual Studio.net
Professional.

Regards
