Guest netwasp Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 I expect this has been asked a 1,000 times before but I cannot find a solution on the bulletin boards, so hell now it's 1,001 times. I cannot get Platform manager to connect to my SmartPhone 2003 device. It's an i-mate from Expansys.com and as far as I know is unlocked. Yes, I've done the spdps /create /device stuff which all seemed to go ok. YEs, I've got eVC++ 4.0 and service pack 2 and the SmartPhone 2003 SDK all installed. ActiveSync (3.7) connects fine and I can manually install an application (a home screen plugin) and that runs fine. I've tried the various Transport options under the Platform Manager Configuration tool. After hitting 'Test' TCP/IP and/or ActiveSync just sit there saying "Establishing connection....blah, blah". KITL Transport reports an error "Please make sure you have installed the underlying transport". My dev machine is on a network in case anyone thnks of mentioning Loopback Adapters... What to do?

Guest MrMagoo Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 i had the same problem and it was solved by re-installing the smartphone 2003 sdk (repair installation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest netwasp Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Hmmm, just trying that by removing everything and then reinstalling in the order prescribed in MSDN. I also noticed that where I was using eVC++ 3 tools to develop with PPC2002 I couldn't connect to the PPC 2002 device through the way I've always done (e.g. Transport = ActiveSync). As well as that I also can't get eVC++ 4 platform manager to connect to the SP2003 emulator!! ActiveSync itself seems OK with both devices. VisualStudio.net will connect to the SmartPhone and run a C# application! I wonder if it's becuase I have two differing devices connected to the machine??? Real waste of time this.

Guest MrMagoo Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 i can definitely tell you that having two devices is not a problem. i have an original SPV and an E200, with evc++ 3 , evc++ 4, visual studio 6 , visual studio .net , smartphone 2002 SDK , smartphone 2003 SDK , .net cf SDK everything is working EXCEPT i cannot start the "Tools" from within evc++ 4 - i need to browse to them in explorer and start them manually ( remote regedit etc.) so, keep trying - it does all work but is a bit kooky...

Guest netwasp Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Uninstalling and reinstalling has not made a difference. Grrrr, time to use that damm MS support incident agreement...feel defeated now after 10 hours of trying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jungho_lee Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 First: Be sure your computer working in a network(Because the smartphone Emulator requires TCP/IP protocol when it start connection) Second: you can try this method : Begin-->program-->smartphone SDK-->spartphone 2003 SDK ,then type "spdps/creat" then "spdps/device" (please forgive my poor english , and my native language is not english) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an option that lets you change the paths, it took me ages to find it (and now I can't remember wuite where it is), but it is there in one of the settings.
