Deploy CF always

Hi all, I have just moved onto a job that has been on the go for a while but using VS 2005. This is a barcode app that runs on handheld wireless barcode scanners. The app uses the CF as they are all Win CE devices.

The problem is that if I try to run this app/solution on a new device (just debugging) it doesn’t work as there is no CF on the machine. I then have to deploy a different solution to the device (just a form with a button on to close the app) so it will deploy the CF. once this has been done I can then deploy the first app/solution to the device and it will work fine.

There is obviously some difference in the settings between the two solution as a newly created project must be set to always deploy the compact framework where as this old solution must have had this setting changed so not to deploy it.

Question: Does anyone know where this setting is? I have searched for a considerable amount of time but I am unable to find it.

Thx T
