installing .NET Compact Framework 2.0

1 New Member
Hi,

I've dowloaded the NETCFSetupv2.ms i file from the microsoft website to my pocket PC (which runs on Windows Mobile 5.0), to install .NET Compact Framework 2.0

However, I can't run/open this *.msi file (Windows Mobile 5.0 doesn't seem to recognize it).

Can anybody help me

Kind regards

Hey,

The MSI probably needs installed on your PC and it will install .Net 2.0 onto your device for you (assuming it is connected via active sync/Windows mobile device center). Mobile devices tend to use .CAB installation files. You need that.

Correct, *.msi files are for your desktop. *.cab files are for your device. Normally if Microsoft distributes an application via *.msi that is for your mobile device you need to install it on your desktop and then connect your device through active sync. Once you are connected active sync will install the program to your device. You will then need to look at your device for further instructions to complete the install (if there are any).

I am using the evaluation version of CE.NET 4.1. I had also installed the release version of the Compact Framework. I uninstalled the CE.NET 4.1, and then realized I needed it again and reinstalled it. I also installed all the QFEs. When I tried to reinstall the release Compact Framework, I get a message that it is already installed and the installation aborted.

Hi, I have Visual Studio 2002 Enterprise Architecture Edition. I was wondering if anyone has any information on how I can develop applications for .Net Compact Framework using this IDE. I've heard Visual Studio 2003 ships with the functionality for .Net Compact Framework development. But right now I have Visual Studio 2002. Is there anything I can do? (Other than the obvious upgrade to 2003). I've heard some beta version of .Net Compact...

Is it possible to mix code meant for the CompactFramework and code meant for the standard framework? We are trying to make PDA and light-weight "laptop" versions of one application. This means a lot of functionality is identical (or at least similar). As the compact framework is a subset (correct?) of the full framework, we had the idea of building the base functionality as "compact" projects. Thse projects could then be used (or...

Hello, My WindowsApp is using only few of the .NET framework .DLL files. When I install my app on the clinet machine, I just want to install only required/used .DLL files of the framework not the whole framework. Because ..NET framework's isze is too big (20 MB like). And after installing it expands up to 100MB. etc. with all ASP.NET blah blah...Stuff I wonder how it fulfills the saying that 'XCOPY deployment'
