I tried to install an app to extended ROM this also fails.

Can you install to the extended ROM?

Yes.

how ?

By Unlocking & Unhidding (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unhide_Extrom) it, erasing the contents (or part of them if u want) and using it as an "extra" storage space.

is it advisable ?

No if you don't know the consequences this will have after a hard reset. Yes if you know what you are doing.
I wouldn't recommend doing that if you have a microSD card available.

what would you advise regards installing .net framework 2 into the extended ROM ?

Also I used fit5cat Hermes tweaker, so I can see the extended rom, not sure which of those other steps I still need to install to the extended ROM.

I haven't tried it.... but I think you should better install it on the main memory or the SD card when possible.

Does it unlocks the ExtROM or just unhides it ? Try if you can copy a normal file there using the explorer.

What about moving some .dll files to Extended ROM? Bad Idea? MemMaid gives you this option, and one big one is HTC3GVT.dll which takes up 1.6MB of memory, but I can imagine that you would not advise trying to move this to Extended ROM?
