Can't install .NET Framework 2.0

[nicoska]

Hi all,
i have a fresh JasJar and i need to install the .Net Compact Framework 2.0 but when i try to install (main memory) it gives me an unknow error number 4.
I have a lot of free space in my device, approx 30 Mb, so where is the problem ?
I need the .Net Compact Framework to run IBE Mail.
Bye

Me too. I've tried closing applications, but without luck

Using ActiveSync may give problem. I installed using the cab file method

You can get the cab file ffrom here (near to the bottom)

If you cannot install try install WiFiFoFum with the CF installer Package. After that remove WiFiFoFum (if not needed) and you'll have the CF left behind

Why install it in the main memory? I installed it to my SD Card and it went without any problems.

Hi,
did you installed by .cab file or trough ActiveSync ?
thanks

I used the .exe file through active sync. I had reformatted my computer, I had performed hard resets numerous times on my EXEC and Net Framework 2 always installs without any problem to my SD Card and works very well.

Are you sure it's actually on the SD card?

I tried telling it to install to SD-card three times (uninstalled between each attempt) and practically nothing went onto the SD card - it just created an empty folder there. :roll: Took out over 5-MegaByte of main memory though and didn't recover all of that when it was removed! :evil:

YES, I explored my SD Card and it has a folder named NetFrame2 or something like that under Windows>Programs

I did not loose any internal memory. As of now after a soft reset, I have about 32MB of internal memory with 31 different applications installed. 26 applications installed to my SD Card and 5 system applications installed on my internal memory. No freezes, no delays, no missed calls, no loss of system preferences, switching from landscape to portrait or vice versa takes 1 second, so I am pleased with my settings.

So did mine, but the folder was empty :?

I didn't actually clicked on the folder, I'll have to check that the next time I sync. I just assumed it was installed there.

I hope you're lucky and it worked for you!
Might be worth checking the \Windows folder, however, as that's where I found all the .Net v.2 stuff dumped. The .Net v.1.x stuff is in ROM, so I'm hoping that a future ROM update will have v.2 in ROM.

Pants - just noticed that CF2 folder on SD card is empty!

Any solution to this?

I've looked into this a bit further, and according to the guys at Microsoft http://blogs.msdn.com/netcfteam/default.aspx - the Framework will always take up storage space, and it wouldn't work if it were only installed on the SD card.

Let's hope that a future ROM release will include it.

Cheers,

Steve.

Here is what I noticed on mine. I just performed a hard reset. I started out with 31MB internal memory. I opted to store NetFramework to my SD Card which is around 5MB in size. So if what you guys claim that NetFrameWork does not install to the card is true, it should eat up the 31MB internal memory right? But I still end up with 31MB internal memory after the install. I did check my SD Card and found the folder there which is empty if I clicked on it. But, my SD Card has less memory than I started with, close to 5MB. So my conclusion is: It installs to the SD Card but maybe active sync does not allow us to see the actual file and size, so it appears the folder is empty.

[StevePritchard]

According to what Microsoft say:


Installing NETCF V2 to storage card
While it is technically possible to redirect installation of NETCF onto storage card via standard Active Sync/WCELOD capabilities, it won’t save precious RAM on device. NETCF files have to be in \Windows folder in order for NETCF to function properly.

If NETCF is installed to storage card, NETCF files will be initially deployed to it. However, at some point they would moved to \Windows folder taking out exactly the same space as normal installation would.

In some cases attempt to use storage card would lead to installation failure due to some subtle storage card issues. Thus it’s not recommended to install NETCF V2 to storage card or embedded storage and there are no benefits of doing so.


So try installing WifiFoFum (or another .Net CF2 app) and see how your memory availability alters.

Cheers,

Steve.

I also use WiFIFoFum and stored it to my card. It works great. After use of WiFiFoFum, my Internal Memory goes down to about 27MB, I already expected that. Closing all applications via settings puts my internal memory to about 29MB, also expected that as Windows Mobile 5 leaves some parts of the application open for faster reference the next time you open it up. After performing a soft reset my Internal Memory goes back to 31MB. So this still does not change my conclusion that NetFrameWork 2 was installed to my SD Card.

[Tron_Of_Borg]

I had a problem installing .NET 2.0 and I found that if I rename/remove previous attempted installs (eg, the dir and files), my 2nd attempt is usually successful.

This goes for most any program that doesn't install properly. I've noticed that this usually happens to me after an upgrade of the same app.

Are you talking about "Program" memory? I'm talking about "Storage" memory - I don't think that's affected when you open/close applications or perform soft resets...

Ooops forgot to mention it was the install of WiFiFoFum dragging the .NET Framework with it that worked for me...Thanks again!

[ngtinlok]

I am currently using Dopod 818 pro (window mobile 5.0) and would like to install the wififofum into my device.

I have downloaded and tried both the wififofum CAB and WiFiFoFum 2.1.1 & Compact Framework 2.0 Installer Package but fail to install them into my device.

Then I try to install the Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package (x86), .NET Compact Framework 2.0 Redistributable, and the .NET Framework 2.0 Software Development Kit (SDK) (x86) into my device but all of them failed.

Can anyone give me some advice on installing the above software into my device?

Thanks~

Error #4 when installing .NET Compact Framework version 2?
We have had a number of reports regarding error #4 when installing version 2 of the .NET Compact Framework on some devices. To address this issue, we have updated the current install package.....

If you want to make sure that everything is installed in the main memory, read the "Microsoft .NET CF 2.0.LOG.TXT" file in "my device" root directory.
You will see that anyway, files are copied from SD or "Program Files\.NET CF 2.0" to Windows directory in the main memory.

If you remove it, some of the 13 files "GAC_xxx_v2_xxx_1.dll" (plus GAC_Microsoft.VisualBasic_v8_0_0_0_cneutral_1.dll? ) which were created in Windows directory are NOT removed !
Moreover, if you install it again, those files will be recreated with a "2" index instead of "1", and then you will lose more memory ! (approx 2Mb)

You can recover your memory by deleting those files.

Otherwise, it's working fine by installing both ways (ActivSync or Cab).

Hi. I also hade troubles installing the .NET CF v2 redistrubutable from MSDNs website, but I opend the msi-file with winrar and extracted the file called
"F_NETCFv2.wm.armv4i.cab.7268F488_53D1_4565_BEEC_12 51BC587315"

Then I renamed it to F_NETCFv2.wm.armv4i.cab (eg. removed the trailing) and copied it to my SD card.. And that CAB file was successfully installed.

This way you know that you get the lates version of it.

best regards
