Hello!

I am trying to open C++ samples shiped with SDK Mobile and I can't!!
The error sounds like this (I am translating from spanish!!)

"The project is made of configurations that needs support for plattforms
that are not installed in this computer. Can't load the project"

I don't have any problem with the samples of Win Mobile made with C#.
Only with those made with C++.

¿WHY?

Microsoft's terminology is confusing, so if we aren't very careful we
won't understand each other. There is nothing called "SDK Mobile" in
English, and I would be _very_ surprised if there is anything
comparable to that in Spanish. I believe Visual Studio 2005 supports
SDKs for the following:
Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC
Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone
Windows Mobile 6 Professional
Windows Mobile 6 Standard
If you're using some other compiler/IDE, we (collectively) will be
better able to help you if you tell us which one.

As I was gathering this list, I noticed that at least one page
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb158486.aspx) on
Microsoft's site refers to "the Windows Mobile SDK" (singular, with no
reference to individual platforms) - ugh.

My hunch is your trying to load samples for one platform, but have
loaded only the SDK for the other.

For more about platforms, see:

I don't use C#, but I believe it supports platforms differently; maybe
samples work across platforms for C#. The samples I've seen for C++ do
not.
