I am working on a Windows 7 32 bit development PC. I have to support a Compact Framework 1 smart device application running on Windows CE devices. Visual Studio .NET 2003 builds the application fine, but when it comes to deploying it on a device for debugging, it crashes with a Windows 7 "Stopped working, looking for a solution" prompt. Windows cannot find any.
This crash may be related to Windows Mobile Device Center connection since it doesn't matter if the connection is established via USB or DMA to a Device Emulator.
I have tried Windows 7 compatibility tab for devenv.exe. Windows XP or Vista options did not work.
Windows 7 XP Mode is out of question since I need to connect to a USB device. XP Mode is very unsuccessful on connected devices.
My only option now seems to be working on a Windows XP machine. Any solutions for my Windows 7 PC will be most welcome.
