Quick Tip: The platform “Windows Mobile 6 Professional SDK (ARMV4I)” is not defined within Visual Studio.

If you are setting up Qt Visual Studio Addin in Vista and get this message when trying to add the Qt folder (in Qt Options > Qt Versions):
The platform “Windows Mobile 6 Professional SDK (ARMV4I)” is not defined within Visual Studio. Make sure you have installed the required SDK.
-or-
The platform “Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK (ARMV4I)” is not defined within Visual Studio. Make sure you have installed the required SDK.

You need to make sure you have Visual Studio running in Administrator mode. You also need to be in Administrator mode when creating your WinCE project.

You can also type in the command line: checksdk -list to check that you have the correct Windows CE SDK installed.

    Thanks for suggestion but still there is a problem. Even though we have installed the required sdk properly it is giving the same problem. i checked the status of installed sdks using “checksdk -list”. It is showing the 5.0 sdk which i am compiled qt for. But still giving the same error while defining the path.

    THANKS A LOT!

    This has been bugging me for 2 days now. Crappy error message but starting with Admin rights helped. No I can see my CE version.

    Thank YOU!

    I am not used to comment any tips but this really helped me a lot!
    Who would think about thing like this?

    I’ve spent several hours looking for any advice.
    Why couldn’t they just left a note in the installation help?

    Thank you again.
