Windows XP Embedded is missing the NULL or "NUL" device. For one thing, Visual Studio seems to require it and trying to build a project aborts with a PRJ0015 error.
Anyone know how to configure an XPe image to include support for the NUL device?
A:
Running Visual Studio itself on XP Embedded doesn't seem like it'd be supported. You should build on a full OS and then just deploy your application to XP embedded.

A:
"Null Device Driver" is available in the XPe Target Designer, but it's normally hidden. Apparently each component has a visibility level, and if it's lower than that set in the Target Designer options (Tools->Options), it's hidden. Null Device Driver is at level 200, so I set the level to 100 and could see it and install it.
