Hey guys,

I mentioned this to Alex at MEDC; I've tried running the installer on two
different machines with 2005-only installed, and I keep getting the error:

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Yeah, real helpful, I know. But it does occur towards the very end of the
installation. Any ideas how to get this to work?
 
Studio 05's integration model is totally different that 03, so the current
(03) installas are not compatible. We will have 05-compatible installs as
we get closer to an actual 05 release.

In the short-term you can download just the v1.3 release dlls and cab files
here and reference them in your VS2005 projects:-

Because of the different architecture of VS2005 you won't get any designer
support for the controls but you should be able to use these successfully
through code. You'll also have to ensure you deploy the correct cab file to
the device manually (or deploy v1.3 via VS2003 before hand). Obviously if
you encounter problems using the SDF code on .NETCF v2.0 we'd appreciate a
bug report at the usual place - http://bugs.netcf.tv
