I'm trying to install the Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard SDK Refresh on my Vista SP2 machine. I have Visual Studio 2008 Professional with SP1. Everytime I try to install, the installer tells me Visual Studio 2005 Standard SP1+ is required. There is no option to continue.

Googling this problem I've found many forum posts stating Visual Studio 2008 Professional (not Standard) is required, which I have. I've seen a couple posts from others using Professional, but no solutions.

The SDK installed fine on my XP SP3 laptop. Is this a Vista issue? Or is there something else I'm missing?

A: 

Turns out I hadn't installed the Smart Device option during Visual Studio setup. I installed that and I was able to continue.
