Visual Studio 2005 ships without a SDK for Windows Mobile 5, leaving you without an option to create Windows Mobile 5 applications. Microsoft offers a 175MB SDK after a Genuine Windows validation(very smart move of them - PODS is borked, but free)… so, little Tam thinks that installing this will solve all woes.
However, the install/uninstall process always aborts after a Norton AntiVirus message about how a script needs to be modified. Theis script popped up even after disabling AutoProtect…so there is no way around it.
For now, the only solution I found is removing Norton AntiVirus 2005 from the system before attempting to install the Windows Mobile SDK - once Norton is gone, the SDK installation works out fine(takes up to 15 minutes though…so leave the machine along and have lunch =)).
Does Norton AntiVirus 2005 work for you?
