Compact .Net blues. How to install?

[bubism]

Hi,

feeling very silly for asking... how do you install Compact .Net?
Or better: how do you get it to be recognized by the system?

I have installed the latest Cnet 2 SP1 version, which appears among the installed apps both on my desktop Pc and on the Wizard... but HitchHiker won't install as "you need Compact .Net installed..."!!!

I know I did find a solution a few months ago when first installing the damn app, but I can't remember what it was. I searched the forum and I only found a suggestion to close all the running app on the Wiz, but this doesn't seem to work.

Can anybody provide a reliable procedure to get it working?

TIA!

hi there

from your post it seems that you have not install .net compact framework on ur wizard.

it is very simple, all you need to do is to find out if you need .net compact framework v1.1 or 2.0? i am not sure if both is compatible with each other.

then goto micrsoft website and search for the download link to either one. download the installation file to your pc and run the installation there. it will install on ur wizard over activesync.

Not so simple, in fact.

I'm using the right build, and it installs nicely both on the desktop Pc and the Wiz.

Only problem is: when I try to install Hitchhiker (from the PC, as it is the only possible setup), it doesn't recognize the presence of C.Net.

did you install in a storage card or ram?

have you got the right version?

No more blues!

The problem wasn't in c.Net at all, but in the faulty instructions for HitchHiker! It turns out it needs BOTH c.Net and the "normal" .Net framework to be installed, but they only state it needs the Compact flavour.

I just wonder how come nobody else came up with this issue before...

Thanks to everyone, however!

now this really puzzled me. does wm5 able to run .net framework as well as compact framework? as far as i know wm2003 only able to run .net compact framework.

how do you squeeze 20mb of file, not to mention not mobile device install file for .net framrwork?

[bubism]

I don't. Compact .Net does a double-install on both che desktop and the Wiz, while "normal" .Net framework only installs on the desktop, but is apparently needed to get the Hitchiker app to install... on the portable device.

There WAS a reason for which I couldn't get around it all, y'see?
