visual c++ - smart device - win32 smart device project creation failed

hello
i'm trying to create a win32 smart device project but when i do this, i get the message 'project creation failed' in the status bar
in another forum i found a workaround where i was told to open regedit and find the registry entry KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\PreApproved. there i had to add a new entry:
{D245F352-3F45-4516-B1E6-04608DA126CC}
but this doesn't work....any ideas

    Can you give more information as what is the build of VS you are using, like VS 2005 RTM or SP1, and What is the SDK that you are using to create the project Are you using IE7 or Vista

    Thanks,

    New entry should be a registry key and not a string item

    Can you check this and reply back

    hello pezi

    adding a new entry: {D245F352-3F45-4516-B1E6-04608DA126CC} in KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\PreApproved worked for me!

    Use teh above suggested workaround, or move to VS 2005 SP1, that has the fix for IE7, or uninstall IE7.

    Thanks,
