trying to create an arcgis windows mobile 6 application using the 10.2 windows mobile SDK.
currently I am using the sample that comes with the SDK "WM-Walkthrough",I get the error "Missing ArcGIS registry key" when the code reaches mobileCache1.Open();
I have installed the "AGMRuntime.CAB" on booth a simulator and a windows device and I still get the same message.

any help would be appreciated.

It sounds like you may be facing a known issue with the Windows Mobile SDK 10.2:

NIM097317: A "Missing ArcGIS Registry Key" error occurs due to a registry key mismatch.

The current workaround is to create a new registry key, Mobile10.2.0, at the same place as the Mobile10.2. Here is an example of where that should be found:
(old) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ESRI\Mobile10.2\InstallDir 
(new) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ESRI\Mobile10.2.0\InstallDir

Note that you must change the registry key on the Windows Mobile device as well.

Hope this helps!
