Vista, VS2005 and the NetDCU8 SDK

  • Hi all,
    I have tried to install the NetDCU8 development environment on Vista (Ultimate). Everything works fine, except that the NetDCU8 SDK doesn't seem to register properly as a new platform. When I try to load an existing NetDCU8 Win32 project, VS complains, that the platform is not installed. Also, when I start a new project, I can only select from the default platforms that come with VS 2005 (2003 Smartphone and Pocket PC).


    My Software Configuration:


    - Windows Vista Ultimate
    - Visual Studio 2005 Professional
    - SP 1
    - VS Update for Vista
    - .net CF2 SP 2
    - Mobile Device Center
    - NetDCU8 SDK


    Any hints?
    Regards,
    Mate

    Solved: After reinstalling the SDK under the Administrator account, everything worked fine.


    Hallo. That's fine for you. But I have this problem too. My username is in the administrator group but the NETDCU8 does not appear in the device list. Herbert.

  • You have to reinstall the SDK while you are logged in as Administrator, just beeing in the administrative group isn't enough. By default the Administrator is disabled in Vista. Enable it, set a password for it, log in as Administrator and reinstall the SDK.


    Hope this helps,
