Error: The bootstrap could not be loaded

When working with Motorola's new WT41N0 with Windows Embedded CE 7 (or Embedded 2010 depending on what screen you're looking at!), you may receive a "The bootstrap could not be loaded" error from the Device Connectivity Component when trying to deploy or debug a Visual Studio 2008 VB or C# .NET project.

To resolve this problem, you need to install the drivers to cope with it which are held in the PSDK. You can get these from the Motorola Support website, select "Mobile Computers", select the model number "WT41N0" and select "Software Downloads" as document type. You need the 41x0cBenPS010010.exe file to install (recommend you close Visual Studio first). Once installed, your deploy dialog box will include the option to deploy to WT41N0c70PSDK ARMV7 Device.

I have also heard that installing the latest CE package builder from Microsoft also fixes the problem.

  4. Hi, I just start to work with WT41N0, After I install the 41x0cBenPS010010.exe, I am able to deploy my program to the device. But after it deploy via VS2005, it shows an error message saying that "The handle is invalid". Do you have any idea on it?

  5. Hello mate, I recently had to do this and remembered this blog. For anyone who wants to download a PSDK, they will need to go to Zebra's support site now.
