PRB: Failed to Verify Platform or OS Version (190801)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual C++
- Microsoft Windows CE Embedded Toolkit for Visual C++ 5.0
This article was previously published under Q190801 SYMPTOMS
When you build an application or select "[Build:Update remote output
file]," the following error message appears:
Failed to verify platform or OS version.
Or, when you debug an application, the following error message appears:
Your device platform type is not supported
CAUSE
These error messages can be caused by a malfunctioning communications link
with the Windows CE target device, or by using incorrect versions of
Pfile.exe or Pfcom.dll.
RESOLUTION- No communication. Ensure that communication between the desktop device
and the Windows CE target device has been established. You should be
able to transfer files using Windows Explorer, Mobile Devices, Remote
Object Viewer, or Pfile.exe if communication has been established
correctly.
- Users of the Windows CE Platform SDK for Palm-size PCs experience this
problem if the Pfile.exe and Pfcom.dll files are not installed as
indicated by the release notes (<platform-sdk-root>\ppcreadme.htm). You
must use the files, located in the <platform-sdk-root>\Support\Updates
directory, to replace the respective files in <developer-studio-
root>\SharedIDE\bin.
NOTE: Do not rename the original files before replacing them. To backup the
original files, copy them elsewhere.
