VisualStudio2005 fails to create SmartDevice MFC apps but works fine with c#

I have VisualStudio 2005 "Standard Edition" and the Windows Mobile 5.0 installed. I can create c# SmartDevice applications fine. I have evc3.0 and evc4.0 installed on my machine too which work fine.

When I try to create any C++ Smart Device applications, I get a "Line 4033" "Object Required" "Do you wish to debug" error in my IDE.

When I click "Debug" and try to debug in Visual Studio 2005 I notice the following:

File : Common.js

Function: ConstructClassName

Line: var bValid = (window.external.dte.VCLanguageManager.ValidateIdentifier(strCandidate).....

window.external.dte is null.

I reinstalled the SDK but no use.

Any suggestions

    I've recently posted exactly the same prob in microsoft.public.vstudio.development !!!

    My problems are exactly as described here.

    The registry HACK fixes it.

    Thank you very much Surya for a nice clear post.

    (I have no idea how you found Gangadhar's post though :-( )

  • Bartosz

    That registry addition fixed it for me.

    1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\PreApproved
    2. Add a new entry and name it
    3. {D245F352-3F45-4516-B1E6-04608DA126CC}

    That is I have IE7 installed.

    Cheers

    It is IE7's fault.

    Finally when I uninstalled IE7 everything started working.

    SmartDevice C++ team, please make a note of this. If it is a known issue then, how can we make sure that this is communicated properly to the developers

    What is the fix for this I want to use both IE7 and VS2005.

     Alternately I found the following in a different post by Gangadhar:

    Note that This has been fixed in Whidbey SP1, however mean while you can have the following as a workaround.

    1. Close VS
    2. Start RegEdit.exe
    3. Find the following registry entry:
    4. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\PreApproved
    5. Add a new entry and name it
    6. {D245F352-3F45-4516-B1E6-04608DA126CC} 
    7. Close RegEdit
    8. Start VS
    9. Try and create a Smart Device C++ project


    Thanks,
    Gangadhar

    Thanks,

    I get a similar error on 2 systems and not on a third.

    When I try to create any C++ SD project, VS beeps, shows and error in the status bar and goes back to specifying the project files location.

    No evc 2,3 on my system. Have evc 4.

  • Rich Steck

    I can import eVC 4.0 projects. So I guess the Wizard files are setup incorrectly. But what would cause that I ran the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK setup and performed both the uninstall/reinstall and repair. No use.

    How can I setup the VisualStudio to recognize the wizrd files

    Surya.
