Is it possible to upgrade VS.Net 2003 to use the Compact Framework SP3
files? I updated the device OK, but VS.Net whines when deploying a program
about the device having newer files than the development computer.

Thanks

I tried putting the new CAB file in the various directories in "D:
\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\CompactFrameworkSDK
\v1.0.5000\Windows CE\wce400", Didn't quite work.

The original files are still in, "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio .NET 2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\v1.0.5000\Windows CE", which is what
is referenced by the project.

I suppose the question might be, how to uppack the CAB file and get the
original long file name back.

You simply replace the exiting CAB files. There's no need to unpack the
CABs as studio pushes them intact to the device and then they are extracted
there. There are tools for extracting device CABs on the desktop, but
they're not needed in this instance.
