Platform builder was unable to read the device settings from the datastore Solution

This article focuses on the connectivity options of platform builder for ce5 when ce6 is installed, even if you click Apply after the settings are modified, you cannot save the new settings after the ce6 and vs2005 are fully uninstalled. This error will pop up in connectivity options of point pb5: platform builder was unable to read the device settings from the datastore.

Even if the ce5 and pb5 are completely uninstalled and then reinstalled, the error still exists.

 

Solution 1:

1. Disable all processes of pbds. Ensure that cepb.exe and cesvchost.exe (cesvch ~ 1. EXE) and deviceemulator.exe are all stopped.

2. Back up the C:/Documents and Settings/<user>/Local Settings/Application Data/Microsoft/corecon folder. (You can delete it directly without backup)

3. Back up the C:/Documents and Settings/all users/Application Data/Microsoft/corecon/1.0/Addons folder. (You can delete it directly without backup)

4. Create an Addons folder in the C:/Documents and Settings/all users/Application Data/Microsoft/corecon/1.0 directory.

5. Copy all. XSL prices under the C:/program files/<Pb Install Folder>/corecon/SDK/XSL/Addons directory to the folder created in step 4.

6. Copy C:/program files/<Pb Install Folder>/cepb/bin/Microsoft. platformbuilder500.servicecategory. XSL to the folder created in step 4.

 

Note: You may not be able to find the/local settings directory. In the folder option, select not to hide the system file.

 

Solution 2:

1. Enter your platform directory in the command line.

For example: C:/program files/Windows CE platform Builder/5.00/corecon/scripts/

2. Run the following commands in sequence:

Disablecorecon <path>
Unregister <path>
Register <path>
Enablecorecon <path>

 

Note: The Path format here should be "C:/program files/Windows CE platform Builder/5.00". Do not forget to enclose the quotation marks.
