It turned out that the client's handhelds still have the older OS on them, just like mine, so I will return the VS 2005 I bought yesterday, and it's full speed ahead with VS 2003.
Unfortunately, I had a devil of a time getting it to install, finally tracking down the problem with an issue with the Windows Installer Service. Fortunately, it was Google to the rescue - directing me to a forum where someone linked to a Microsoft tech document, explaining how to unregister and reregister that service.
Finally, hours after beginning this saga yesterday, I am about ready to launch VS and begin the actual work. As I've often said, "it's amazing that anything works."
