SYMPTOMS
When a customer tries to run an HPC 2000 project on a Hewlett-Packard Jornada 720, he or she receives the following error message:

The targeted platform does not match the device currently connected to your system.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the device is missing the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Windows CE Tools registry key that contains the Platform={0F9D255B-97DA-4641-A8E6-7A7411D2472F} string value.



RESOLUTION
On all processors except CEPC, you must add the above-mentioned registry key to the device registry in order for eMbedded Visual C++ 3.0 and eMbedded Visual Basic 3.0 to recognize the platform and allow files to be downloaded properly.

To add the registry key, follow these steps:  Open the eMbedded Visual Basic (eVB) or eMbedded Visual C++ (eVC++) Integrated Development Environment (IDE). From the Tools menu, click Remote Tools, and then click Registry Editor. From the Registry Editor menu, click Connection, and then click Add Connection. In the Select a Windows CE Device dialog box, click to expand the HPC 2000 node in the tree, click HPC 2000 (Default Device), and then click OK. This establishes a connection to the device. Click to expand the HPC 2000 registry tree, and add the following key to the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Windows CE Tools

with the following string value:

Platform={0F9D255B-97DA-4641-A8E6-7A7411D2472F}

 After you add the key and string value, perform a soft reset of the device so that the changes take effect.</li></ol>
