FIX: Developer Studio Settings for User Platforms Not Saved

• Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual C++
• Microsoft Windows CE Embedded Toolkit for Visual C++ 5.0

SYMPTOMS

If you modify the tools paths for a Windows CE platform in Developer Studio by selecting Tools--Options--Directories from the menu, the information is not saved when you exit Developer Studio.

CAUSE

Some Windows CE Toolkit registry values are incorrectly reset when Developer Studio is started.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem:

1. Close Developer Studio.



2. Create the following two empty registry keys:

   
         [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\DevStudio\5.0\Build System\ 
            Components\CE Configurations\H/PC Ver. 1.00\Win32 (WCE x86em)]
   
         [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\DevStudio\5.0\Build System\ 
            Components\CE Configurations\H/PC Ver. 1.01\Win32 (WCE x86em)] 

STATUS
