As a newcomer to Visual studio from borland delphi I would like to share my experience on installing with you.
The visual studio 2005 std installed fine.
The Pocket PC 2005 SDK caused all sorts of problems untill I unistalled Norton antivirus. Although the install says disable anti virus I got a script error at the end of the install and the install hung.
Once install I got the PocketPC 2005 emulators etc. On trying to compile an app on a PPC2005(Jasjar) device I got various errors saying Visual studio could not install NETCF2. Not enough memory etc. I tried the netcf2 install from microsoft's site and this gave not enough memory errors.
I had the following memory available once I had un-installed most programs
Storage 12.30 MB Free
Program 9.14 MB free
To re-install netcf2 I needed 5476.
I eventually took out of the startup of the device the CE Antivirus and the problem went away. (Although MS download will still not install Netcf2 on the device)
I then installed the Msql mobile tools and the samples worked fine.
Why this happens I can only guess but my thoughts are MS will be introducing there own Anti virus products and are making other products difficult to install or work with.
Hope this may help anyone with a similar problem.
Cheers
