I don't know if this is the appropriate forum for this, but i am desperate for an answer here...
Visual Studio 2005 crashed on this afternoon. since then, i have
not been able to open any of my WM 2005/CF2.0 projects. I also am not
able to create any Smart device projects. The error i get when
attempting this is
"The project 'C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local
Settings\Temp\u0cx3qj1.r2s\Temp\TestApp1.csproj' cannot be opened. The
project type is not supported by this installation"
After doing a complete uninstall followed by a re-install, i am still having problems. the error when attempting to create a WM 2005 smart device project is:
"Package Load Failure
Package 'Smart Device Project Package' has failed to load properly (
GUID = {some guid} ). Please contact package vendor for assisance.
Application restart is recommended, due to possible envronment
corruption. Woud you like to disable loading this package in the
future You may use 'devenv/resetskippkgs' to re-enable package
loading".
The GUID above traces back to a registry entry that points to SmartDeviceProject.dll, which exists where it is suppose to...
Hopefully, someone can assist me with this or point me to the correct forum to ask this question.
Package 'Smart Device Project Package' has failed to load properly...

I had this problem, kinda "comes and goes" with no reasoning. Tried all the other workarounds, but to no avail, then I saw your comment, tried it and it worked.
Brillo, Thanks aagain.

I had the same problem, but did not trust the first answer in this forum. But it is correct.
Removing the SDKs and reinstalling the visual studio smart device features did not solve the problem for me. As said the solution is much simpler: just remove the CoreCon settings. This makes VS re-create the datastore. See also http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms184403(VS.80).aspx

Hi,
I ran exactly in the same trouble. I can not figure what I have done wrong.
I succeeded in correcting this failure by doing the following steps :
- removing Windows Mobile Pocket and Smartphone SDK
- removing SQL Server Mobile Edition
- change Studio 2005 setup by removing SmartDevice Extension
- change Studio 2005 setup by adding SmartDevice Extension
- setup Windows Mobile Pocket and Smartphone SDK
Hoping it will work for you too.

Usually, things start working right after a re-install. Do you have an earlier verson of VS on the same machine
Try out the following
1. For each user on the machine remove the %userprofile%\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CoreCon\1.0 Folder and all files under
it.
2. For each user on the machine rename the %userprofile%\Application
Data\Microsoft\Device Emulator\ folder to %userprofile%\Application
Data\Microsoft\Device Emulator_B2\
3. Repair the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDKs
If that doesn't work, try running 'devenev /setup /resetuserdata'
And finally, do you have the Device Command Shell installed We have a known
issue where the DCS causes this error message sometimes
