Problem of deploying compact framework to device

Inside VS.NET 2003, I have no problem debuging and
executing programs in PC2002 and PC2003 emulators but I
have no success deploying the framework and program to the
device, which is Toshiba e755 PocketPC with Intel AX255
CPU.

I always get the error when I try to deploy the compiled
program to the device:
"There were deployment errors, continue?"

I have ActiveSync 3.7.1 (installed after VS.NET and
perfectly working.)
I even downloaded the Windows CE Utilities for Visual
Studio .NET 2003 and configure CPU in the add-in to be
ARMV4.
However I am very confused by the README in the download
that states a lot of stuffs like copying ToolHelp.dll,
WCELoad.exe etc.

My questions are :-
1. What am I missing basically to have the failur of
debugging ?
2. Do I need to register WinCEx86Device.reg on the host
computer if I am using a ARMSV4 CPU instruction set ?


P.S.
I have no problem when using eVC++ 4.0.
That means my installation of the PC2003 SDK should be
correct.

Thanks for any insight.

Stanley,

Actually ActiveSync needs to be installed before VS.Net, not the other way
around. I'd suggest uninstalling the Smart Device option from VS, then
reinstalling it. There's some additional info in the FAQ:
