Script error with VS2005 / VS2008 Smart Device Wizards?

Are you having problems with the Smart Device Wizards in Visual Studio 2005 or 2008?

Then I have got a tip for you:

If you have got Internet Explorer 8 installed on your machine a script error can occur when invoking one of the following wizards:
  • Add Function
  • Add Variable
  • Smart Device - New Project Creation
  • Smart Device - Add Class

To get the wizards working again all you have to do is to edit the registry:

  1. Create a new key called "1000" under “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSettings\Zones”
  2. Under "1000", create a DWORD entry named "1207" with the value '0'.
If you are working with Visual Studio 2005 you will have to install SP1 for Visual Studio 2005 first.

So long and thanks for all the fish!
