I'm trying to use the CoreCon
API in Visual Studio 2008 to programmatically launch device emulators. When I call device.Connect(), I inexplicably get a DirectoryNotFoundException. I get it if I try it in PowerShell or in C# Console Application. Here's the code I'm using:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
DatastoreManager dm = new DatastoreManager(1033);
Collection<Platform> platforms = dm.GetPlatforms();
foreach (var p in platforms)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", p.Name, p.Id);
}
Platform platform = platforms[3];
Console.WriteLine("Selected {0}", platform.Name);
Device device = platform.GetDevices()[0];
device.Connect();
Console.WriteLine("Device Connected");
SystemInfo info = device.GetSystemInfo();
Console.WriteLine("System OS Version:{0}.{1}.{2}",
info.OSMajor, info.OSMinor, info.OSBuildNo);
Console.ReadLine();
}
My question: Does anyone know why I'm getting this error? I'm running this on WinXP 32-bit, plain jane Visual Studio 2008 Pro. I imagine it's some config issue since I can't do it from a Console app or PowerShell.
Here's the stack trace as requested:
