VS 2005 with CE 6.0 device emulator cannot work

Hi all,

I had some problem with VS 2005 and CE 6.0.

When I choose "Target"->"connectivity options"

Then the IDE show up a message

"Platform Builder was unable to read the device settings from the Datastore."

Any idea

VS 2005 with CE 6.0 device emulator cannot work

  • Kosmo007

    I'm having a similar problem with WinCE 5.0 Platform Builder. I DID have VS 2005 and WinCE 6.0 installed and then had to move back to WinCE 5.0. I uninstalled WinCE 6.0 and VS 2005. I even tried this fix and it didn't work. PB 5.0 rewrites the datastore and every time I go to Target->Connectivity Options... it says "Platform Builder cannot read the device configuration in the datastore".

    HELP!!!!

    It appears to be your datastore files got corrupted.

    Can you try the following

    - Take bakcup of <sysdrive>:\Documents and Settings\anr\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CoreCon\1.0 directory

    - Delete the directory <sysdrive>:\Documents and Settings\anr\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CoreCon\1.0

    - Open VS 2005 and go to connectivty options.

    Hi Jeff,

    Have you came across the following blog entry It may be of help to you, but by the sounds of it you are already attempted most of the suggestions it provides.

    "Where are we going, and what's with the handbasket - Does PB 5.0 work side-by-side with PB 6.0 " - http://blogs.msdn.com/dcook/archive/2007/05/13/does-pb-5-0-work-side-by-side-with-pb-6-0.aspx

    Hope this helps,
