actually, i tried set this path by hand, and got the same error, and i tried
many times set different folders path to find the correct build tree path,
but i think "C:\WM500" is the right folder even it doesn't work....

and this issue happened on all computers we have, and we tried to install
and uninstall PB many times... creay....

thanks a lot for your help.

WindowsMobile 5? It's been a long time, but I don't think you can build WM5
OS designs in the IDE. The IDE is for debug tools support only. Since it
is WM, you should be talking with your MS contacts...

Thanks a lot for your explanation.:)

I build WM6.0 and WM6.5 images use PB5.0 with AKU.

I think i should call MS contact's help:)

Hi there,

To build WM you should generate Build scripts first. You can either
use Platform builder (use New BSP wizard where in you can set
_WINCEROOT) or you can take any reference Build scripts and edit to
add your BSP related changes such as _WINCEROOT, BSP name release
directory etc...
