• Smart Device Development Deployment and/or registration failed with error: 0x8973190e

  I developed a simple ATL Simple Object COM server DLL.  When I deploy it to my emulator I see the following error: Deployment and/or registration failed with error: 0x8973190e. Error writing file '%CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES%\DSA3K\UtilCore.dll'. Error 0x8007007e: The specified module could not be found. The DLL and all of it's dependencies are downloaded. I found a version of regsvr in PlatformBuilder and I built it for debug.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to use XAML as window icon?

• Windows Search Technologies Search string?

  I get a little problem: all projects on our server are named YY-XXX (06-422, for example). When I search on 06-422, I can' find nothing but unrelated documents. I presume it has something to do with the '-' sign. looks like it plays it '06 but NOT 422'. Searching for "06-422" doesn't help neither. Is there a workaround TIA Hugues Hello Hugues, This one is interesting. Your line of reasoning makes perfect sense (the - acting as the 'NOT' operator). Strangely, I've been unable to replicate this problem on any of my test machines. I've been able to find files named 06-442, tr ...Show All

  Hey everyone, I have used the set values option of the execute package utility many times to change values on variables in the package with no problem before, however have run into a stumbling block when coupling this with precedence constraints.

Change the expression to evaluate to a Boolean value ...Show All

  How do i share sourcecode between the design of winform components and compactframework components i design.
