I recently received a new Jornada 720 for development after having been
using a HP Handheld 660LX for many months.  I can synchronize the new
handheld just fine using ActiveSync 3.1.   But when trying to use my
development tools such as eVB I run into connectivity issues.

When the code tries to execute on the device I receive,
"The Platform Manager could not connect to the device.  This happens if the
project type does not match the connected device, or if a required file in
Windows CE Services, or the Platform SDK is missing or corrupt.
(ErrorCode=0xLx)."

Any clues?  I've reinstalled Platform Builder 3.0 and still have no success.
Even the remote tools won't work.  ActiveSync runs just fine.

TIA

Hi Patrick,
had the same problem and found the solution in another article in the
newsgroups : There is a registry setting missing on the device.
You need to download a registry editor for the ARM, load it onto the
Jornada, then add a new Key :
Windows CE Tools
under HKLM.
Then enter a String value under this key :
Platform={0F9D255B-97DA-4641-A8E6-7A7411D2472F}
Then do a soft-reset of the Jornada.
After that the SDK Beta works quite well with the Jornada 720.

Before you buy.

What registry editor do you recommend, Niels?   I've been having the same
problem as Patrick, which I had attributed to earlier problems I encountered
installing eVT on my WinME system.  But it sounds like this should do the
trick.  Thanks.

I downloaded the MS Powertoys at
http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/downloads/powtoy30.asp.

I inserted the registry entry, but it still doesn't work.  I get a different
error now of "Connection Failed (Error Code = 0xLX)"

Any thoughts.... this supposedly fixed everyone else.   Anyone out there the
reg entry didn't work for either?

Scratch my previous message.  I just downloaded the editor from PowerToys,
added the registry key and string value, and it works like a charm.  Thanks
again Niels.

Did you have to reinstall the SDK or anything after making the registry
change?

No.  Just added the key, string name of Platform, string value the one
specified by Niels (in braces), reset the 720, and everything worked.  I am
however using the HPC2000 SDK beta; don't know if that's included with
Platform Builder as I am using only eVT 3.0.  Also, I recently upgraded
ActiveSync 3.1 to the new build version (9587); I don't know if that is
relevant or not.

Hope this helps.

Got it working.... had to reinstall the HPC2K SDK to do it.

Thanks for everyone's assistance.
