BSPin PB for CE6.0 - Not Recognised After Installation & Usage...

Hello All,

I had previously successfully installed a BSP, created an ODDesign, Built
the project, Executed the Image on Target H/W - All successfully in the last
few weeks.
But now, for some reason, when I try to create a new OSDesign, PB does not
recognize my existing BSP. However, it is listing other BSPs in my system
that are installed (by default, when I install CE 6.0).
What could be the problem? I really don't want to uninstall PB, my installed
SDKs, and re-install everything - I have already done that many many times -
although for other reasons. Its a very laborious process....

Is there a file (some confg file, xml file...etc), that PB looks for when it
searches for installed BSP?
The funny part is, I can load my existing OSdesign, build and play with it -
just fine. And this OS design is based on the BSP that I'm interested in. But
I cant seem to create a new OSDesign that uses the same BSP (as above)....

Thanks.

Do you have a WINCE600\Platform\<BSP>\Catalog\<FILENAME>.pbcxml?

Thank you for your time. Yes. I do have the file.
But I observed that other BSPs in my system have 2 additional dirs in the
catalog folder called 1033 and 1041, which is missing in Catalog folder of
the BSP Im interested in.
And I also checked to see if I have accidentally deleted those file, but no.
But I also check the BSP that my H/W supplier provided - and couldn't find
those dirs in the original BSP package itself. So, may be PB created this dir
after installation, I don't know...

Hope the info provided helps...

Thanks,

Bruce

This is interesting.

Are the other BSPs available?
Does this BSP show up in the catalog?
Did you change anything about the BSP, especially that would effect that
path to that file?
Did you change the file?
Can you try opening the file in Visual Studio, any errors or warnings? Does
it appear correctly in the editor?
