SYMPTOMS
If you log on to a computer with a user name that contains Unicode characters, you may receive the following error message when you create a smart device application in Visual Studio .NET 2003:

Cannot create device project. Unknown error. Repair your Visual Studio installation.

Thereafter, you cannot create a smart device application.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because a character in the user name does not map to the code page of the current operating system locale.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use a logon user name that only contains characters that exist in the code page of the operating system locale. To view code page conversion tables, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Click Regional and Language Options.
 * 3) Click the Advanced tab. The Code page conversion tables area is located on this tab.

Alternatively, you can set the Language for non-Unicode programs option to the language of the logon user name. To set Language for non-Unicode programs, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Click Regional and Language Options.
 * 3) Click the Advanced tab, and then select the language of the logon user name in the Language for non-Unicode programs list.
