Can't debug a Pocket PC App in VB.NET 2003

[asher]

I am developing a Pocket PC App using Visual Basic .NET 2003 and the .NET
Compact Framework. When I first connected my device to my computer and tested
my app, it worked perfectly. But the next time I tried to run my app, I
got a message in the build window that says:

Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging.

Unable to start program 'C:\Documents and Settings\ahardstark\My Documents\Work\SigCap\bin\Debug\SigCap.exe'.

I can't think of anything I did differently. I am still able to deploy my
app to the device, I just can't debug it. I'm assuming this is some kind
of bug, so hopefully someone's gotten this problem before.

You may want to check the following MS KB article to see if it resolves the issue:

BUG: Debugger Does Not Work After You Remove the .NET Framework
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;313504

Here is another but probably less likely the problem:

BUG: Error Message When You Use "Start Without Debugging" Mode: The Filename, Directory Name, or
Volume Label Syntax Is Incorrect
