I'm trying to do some development on our legacy .NET Compact Framework 3.5 application (a warehouse application running on Windows CE/Windows mobile devices).
On opening the project in Visual Studio 2008, I get this error:
The imported project "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.CompactFramework.CSharp.targets" was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.
I think this is caused by the absence of "Power Toys for .NET Compact Framework 3.5", probably removed by a recent upgrade to Windows 2004.
This package used be available at this URL: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13442
However, Microsoft seems to have removed it, and I can't find any mirrors online.
Does anyone have a copy of this package, to be made available for download?
I have upgraded Windows 10 and ran into the same issues, that the Power Toys install was mangled.
I did find the msi using the wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://download.microsoft.com/download/f/a/c/fac1342d-044d-4d88-ae97-d278ef697064/NETCFv35PowerToys.msi
click i.e. the year 2008 which shows July 26th, you can download it by clicking on that date
