What to install to deploy from VS.NET 2003

In addition to Visual Studio.NET 2003, what else do I have to install in
order to debug and deploy to my PPC 2002 Phone Edition device? I can create
CABs and manually install the CF onto my device. No matter which CAB I try
to use to install on the PPC, error says it's not a valid PPC/CF app.

Platform Builder?
SDK?
Updates?
Emulators?
....?
 
The only pre-requisite on the device itself is the .NET Compact Framework
runtime. There have been a couple of updates since the original release so
the latest version is .NET CF Service Pack 2. You can download an installer
which will deploy the runtime to your device:-

You can then deploy your application to the device either through Visual
Studio or by building a CAB installer.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm at a loss as to how I'm supposed to deploy the application. I can build
and test in the emulator and the app works just fine. If I right-click on
the project and choose Deploy, I get the following:

------ Build started: Project: Customer_Manager, Configuration: Debug Pocket
PC ------

Preparing resources...

Updating references...

Performing main compilation...

Building satellite assemblies...

Visual Studio is ready to deploy Customer_Manager





------ Deploy started: Project: Customer_Manager, Configuration: Debug
Pocket PC ------

Deploying to MicroMe using TCP Connect Transport





Error: Cannot establish a connection. Be sure the device is physically
connected to the development computer.

---------------------- Done ----------------------

Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped

Deploy: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped

My Samsung i700 is in the cradle and ActiveSync works fine. I can syncronize
any time.



Thx
