smart device project creation failed!

smart device project creation failed!

• Florian Rakic

  I think the problem is related to the corruption of some IE components, maybe reinstallation of IE can help, and this solution works in my case.

  I reinstalled IE, and then it works. you can try to do so.

  I am experiencing the same problem trying to create C# projects. I can open existing projects and create C++ projects.

  I have the MS WinFX Runtime Components 3.0 and Windows SDK for Vista installed. Do you think that your workaround will work

  Thanks,

  It doesn't work, I'll try to install VS and SDK again.

  Hi,

  I recently installed Vista 5472 and VS2005. I have the same problem when trying to create a MFC smart device application. I am told that there is an error and asked if I would like to continuing running the javascript. Either choice brings me back to the project selection dialog stating that the project create failed.

  I looked for the SDProjWiz in the the manage add-ons (IE7) but didn't see it in the list, nor did I come across the vsreg.cmd in my Visual Studio 8 folder (perhaps it is in another one )

  Any help would be great.

  Cheers,

  Clint

  Thanks, Gangadhar
  
  I'm using Windows XP Pro SP2. I belive that my problem is due to the previous installation of VS rc1, I reinstalled the VS2005, but it doesn't work. I wonder if there is some folder or registry value I should delete and regenerate it.

  Which OS you are using Is is Windows Vista, let me know, As we have seen this happening on WIndows Vista, if you happen to use this, then I have a workaround which solves your problem.

  Thanks,

  Gosh! Thanks! That cleared up my problem as well. It's so obvious, I don't know why I didn't think of trying that right off...

  You can try to check if the( SDProjWiz2 Class) add-on is enabled, to do that open Internet Explorer

  
  Tools -> Internet Options -> Programs (tab window) -> Manage Add ons ->

   SDProjWiz2 Class  (enable this)

  Restart the devenv.

  If still does not work try re registering devenv by running vsreg.cmd that should be available in your installation folder to ensure registration succeeds.

  Hope this helps,

  Thanks,

  Gangadhar

  Please be more specific and describe why exactly you can not create device project. Also, which version of VS are you using, e.g. is it  Beta 2, RTM, etc.

  THIS HELPED ME:

  Project Creation failed.

  After installing IE7 Beta 2 I've had a problem creating smart device projects in C++. I kept getting an error "...project creation failed". I looked everywhere but the only answer I found was "uninstall IE7". I REALLY like IE7 and didn't want to have to do that. After more searching I finally found an answer.

  <NOTE>This involves modifying the registry so do at you own risk.</NOTE>

  1. Close VS
  2. Start RegEdit.exe
  3. Find the following registry entry:
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\PreApproved
  4. Add a new entry and name it
     {D245F352-3F45-4516-B1E6-04608DA126CC}
  5. Close RegEdit
  6. Start VS
  7. Try and create a Smart Device C++ project

  I didn't have the problem they mention about the platform lists not being filled out. So now I'm happy. IE7 and Native Smartdevice apps. :)

  I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
  Version 8.0.50727.42  (RTM.050727-4200)
  
  When I choose Visual C++ smart device Win32 Project, and enter project name required, then press OK button, the status bar shows a message " Project Creation Failed", and I can not go any further, the New Project dialog re-appears.
  
  So what is the problem thanks.
