I have a Pocket PC 2003 solution, consisting of three projects, that was created in Visual Studio 2005. I open the solution in Visual Studio 2008 and two of the projects fail to convert due to errors like the following:

Unable to read the project file ‘PDA.vbproj’. D:\PDA.vbproj(121,61): The imported project ‘C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.CompactFramework.VisualBasic.targets’ was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.

This file exists in the v2.0.50727 directory

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Microsoft.CompactFramework.VisualBasic.targets

but not in the v3.5 directory. I looked on another of my development computers and the file is there. I reinstalled v3.5 of the .NET Framework and Compact Framework, but that did not restore the file. Where does it come from?

  1. It is one of the MSBuild target files and would be installed with visual studio.
