VS 2008 SP1 can't deploy on MC9200 with Windows CE 7.0

Whenever I try to deploy solution to above mentioned device I'm getting error:

Connection Failed. The RPC Server is unavailable.

I tried the solutions from following link, but no help: https://www.auslogics.com/en/articles/fixing-the-rpc-server-is-unavailable-error-in-windows/

Windows Mobile Device Center says device is connected.

Solution

  • I managed to dig up an old email (June 2012) which gives some instructions I sent to my team:

    1. Install Microsoft® Visual Studio 2008 with Service Pack1 (make sure you have the service pack)
    2. Install the update that adds support for Windows Embedded Compact 7.0 - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2483802
    3. Install the update that extends support for Windows Embedded Compact 7.0 - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2468183
    4. Download and install the Platform SDK - https://www.zebra.com/us/en/support-downloads/software/developer-tools/MC9200-platform-sdk.html
    5. Run the EMDK Integrator for the new platform SDK
