Problem creating Windows CE .Net project - Automation Server can't create object

[Jim]

I want to create a Compact Framework app for the Viewsonic V210.

Vis Studio .NET 2003, I pick New Project, C#, Smart Device Application.
The Smart Device App Wizard comes up and I pick Windows CE and project type
of Window App.

Error box comes up with Title bar: "Microsoft Development Environment" and
text "Automation Server can't create object".

Is this a know problem and how do I fix it?

Thanks
Jim

The easiest thing should be to reinstall Visual Studio
