VB.net app won't run on my SX66

Hope someone can help me with this. I am developing an application using VB.net and I have two problems.
1. When I copy the .exe file to my SX66 and try to run it nothing happens. I can see a wait cursor appear briefly and it seems to be starting but nothing happens after that (no error messages even). I have seen the same problem with other VB.net apps I have tried to use that others created.
I have the latest .Net Compact framework installed. The app works fine on a Toshiba Pocket PC I have with the older verison of Pocket PC 2003.
2. When I try to run the app directly from VB.net VB.net doesn't recognize that there is a device connected and won't copy the .exe from my desktop to my SX66. This works fine with the Toshiba Pocket PC too.

is your sx66 connected to activeSync ?
Does it run on your Emulator?

Yes on activesync
I haven't tried the emulator. As I said it works fine on a Toshiba PPC so I am figuring it will work in the emulator. I am pretty sure it is something on the SX66 because I have seen the same problem with other .NET apps that I have tried to use that were created by someone else.

is the debug manager service running?

Pocket Streets

Anyone have this program running on their O2? I am having trouble running it, when I try to install the program it says "Pocket Streets for smartphone.CAB is not a valid windows CE setup file" Any ideas why its not working for me? Thanks

It's not working because you've downloaded a smartphone version while you need a Pocket PC version of the program

Hey everyone I got this 8525 from a friend he switched over to the Iphone for whatever reason anyways I work on an application that is java based.

ActiveSync 4.5 Problem

Hi everybody!
I'm having some trouble connecting a pocket pc to my pc. I'm getting the following error message from activesync when I try to establish a partnership connection:
"Cannot verify the version of ActiveSync on your device. A program such
as a firewall may be blocking a port ActiveSync uses to connect to the
device, or you may need to upgrade to a more recent version od
ActiveSync on the PC"
Even if I try to cardle a virtual pocket pc (visual studio) I get the above message.
I'm using activesync 4.5 on a windows xp service pack 3 pc. Installing AS 3.8 would solve the connection/partnership problem but I must use AS 4.5 because Visual Studio does not except older versions of AS.
I've tried so far everything: allowed all ports needed for AS (even deactivated the firewall) - I tried to delete the partnership folders but found out that they haven't even been created by AS.
Even google couldn't really help me: most people get this error message because they have installed a HSDPA usb modem driver from hauwei. But I did not.
does anyone have a solution for this strange problem?
thank you in advance!

I have the same problem. I once got into it through My Computer but since then I've had no luck whatsoever!

You have exactly the same problem?
if you're not using visual studio just install active sync 3.8 as mentioned above. But I found an uggly solution: Cardle you pocket pc - you will get the regular error message. then open the taskmanager and kill the process rapimgr.exe and restart it again (C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync)
Uncardle and recardle the pocket pc again - you will get a critical error message but it can be ignored. Now you will be able to accees your data.
To deploy your software on pocket pc with visual studio you might restart the remote rocedure call locator (Control panel -> administrative tools -> services)
hope I could help you! but I'm really not satisfied with this solution. I'm open for better ways to solve this problem.

WLMMessenger is not a valid Pocket PC application.

Hi all,
Just downloaded Windows Live version 10.8 out of the wm marketplace but when I try to start up the application I get this error:
WLMMessenger is not a valid Pocket PC application.
Any one who knows how to solve this problem?
Thanks a lot already!
Rick

Problem fixed!
Solution:
WM Marketplace does not softreset the device after the installation.
So after installation manually do a softreset and all programs are working
