Smartphone 2003 SE emulator error--"VPC network driver error"

I m new to using VS2005 for smartphone2003 native development. As it seems I m not very impressed wid its claims of scoring over eVC 4.0. Neways, as I try to deploy any app (even the template for that matter), it shows this error message box--"Failed to open VPC network driver. The driver might not be installed".
MSFT ppl hav any explanation for this behaviour

Smartphone 2003 SE emulator error--"VPC network driver error"

  • Dennis M.

    I sserched up the forums and got the reason why the error was there. It was because cVC 4.0 SP3 was already installed on my machine. It was preventing the VPC network driver from being installed with whidbey.
    To solve this, (on another machine with eVC installed only) I first uninstalled eVC and then installed VS2005. Thus I got rid of this error. I still dont have a clue how to make both eVC and whidbey run simultaneously. But I doubt why wud anybody want to develop on both IDEs simultaneously.
    So this post can be considered closed.
