NET Compact Framework & Kasuei Hitchhiker

Has anyone been able to install .NET Compact Framework 2.0 Redistributable and Kasuei Hitchiker and and get it running?
.NET needs to be installed first but it wont install.
What other wifi monitor tools are people using on the wizard?
TIA.

WiFiFoFum works very nicely for me - very handy when setting up wireless networks (I'm in IT). It's a little sluggish to load, but does the job.

I am trying to install .NET Compact Framework 2.0 Redistributional
But it gets stuck on when it tries to read from the source, so I can't install it on my PPC at all.
Anyone can provide the CAB files for it?

...update.
I had to do a ROM re-install and I then installed .net CF before any other app and it installed OK as did Hitchhiker. Hitchhiker is very "pretty" but this beta version wasn't too happy - I kept getting blank screens. I will stick with wiffofum.
thanks for the suggestions.

.NET Compact Framework 2

I have Visual Studio 2005 on my PC plus the WM5 SDK. I have been developing a WM5 application and using the emulator to debug. It is nearly ready and thought that I would debug through the Wm5 PPC. I was then confronted with a warning message that the Compact Framework 2.0 was not installed on my PPC. OK I thought so downloaded the NETCFSetupv2.msi from Microsoft. When I try to run this I am told that I already have the .NET 2 Framework - presumably because I have VS 2005 etc.
Is there any way for me to get the CF2 onto my PPC without having to uninstall VS 2005???

Hi there,
Yes you can....
...\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SmartDevices\SDK\CompactFramework\2.0\v2.0\WindowsCE\wce500\armv4i
go to this folder and pick up the frame work that suits you
copy the cab file "NETCFv2.wce5.armv4i.cab" for Pocket PC to Pocket PC and install it.....

If you go into the properties of your project within VS2005 you will see a tab page for Devices. On that tab page change the target device to that which you want to deploy it to and lower down the page you will see a check box to "Deploy the latest version of the .NET CF". Ensure that box is checked. Debug your project and the CF will be installed on the device.

Installing Chess

I'm having a problem installing Valentin Iliescu's Chess. When I run the .exe from my computer I go through all the steps until it says to check my device for further instructions. I then try to install it on my Wing but I get this error message: The .NET Compact Framework could not be found. Please install .NET Compact Framework and run the installation again.
I try to install it on both my SD card and my device but no go...
As far as I know I have the latest version of the .NET Framework seeing as I have WM6.
Any advice?

WM6 does have .net built-in, but it CAN be removed by the cook.
Ivan did so when building Just2Clean, it says so on the first page of the thread.
"Well there's your problem!"

...How embarrassing... -_-'
Thanks for the help though! I appreciate it

yep. we've all had our moments.
mine was this asinine question about what "aserg's method" was

Visual Studio 9 + WM6 SDK

Hi guys. I've been playin around with Visual Studio 2008, making a project for SmartDevices and my X1 using Visual Basic. I run the application in the built-in WM6Pro emulator provided, and it works fine. But when I make a CAB out of it, and try to install on device, it is unsuccessfull. When I compile it as EXE and run on device, it starts. But as soon as I try to click something within the program I get an error message saying "Cannot find file 'Micrsoft Visualbasic Resources" or something. I'm guessing I need to tell the application what dll's to reference..? But how? Anyone got a moment to explain? Thanks in advance,
//Fred

What .net compact framework version is your application targeted at?
I assume where you were working with the emulator, you were doing debugging/deployment inside visual studio? When you are doing this visual studio will automatically deploy the required files such as .net compact framework 3.5 I think.
Since if you are using .net compact framework 3.5, then you will need that installed for you X1, since WM6 naively only includes .net CF 2.
Give that a try and let us know about your results?

I have used 3.5 when emulating in VS. I have 3.5 installed on my device.

When you are testing your application out in the emulator, have you ever tried installing it with the same cab files?
And what is the result? (make sure when you install the cab file, that the directory is not the same as the 1 you have been deploying when debugging, otherwise if they are the same clean up the folder first)
It the cab file doesn't work when it is being installed on the emulator, then at least we can isolate the problem to the actual configuration on your X1 rather than the cab file.
I assumed you used the Smart Device CAB Project template in visual studio?
If that is the case you might have not configured the settings properly yet.

problem with NET framework

Hey guys, I need help with .NET Compact Framework. I have a HTC HD2 and in some applications, writes me an error with NET Compact Framework, it is necessary to install some other version. I tried to install version 3.5 but when installing I wrote that the phone is already a newer version of NET Compact Framework. I do not know what to do with it. Thank you for your advice.

Run \WINDOWS\CGACUTIL.EXE
You will have to use show all files to see it.
It will report which version(s) of the .NET CF you have installed, in a pop up window.

Could also be that you need to install the SR cabs. These are usually just for the correct error strings and/or descriptions to display in the pop up error dialog.
I seem MS document these this way:
"Added System SR files to the Windows CE 5.0 Platform Builder catalog item"

so i have got .NET compact Framework 2.0.7045.0 ....

so install .NET compact Framework 3.5 or 4.0

it isnt possible, because mobile wrote that i have installed newest version of .NET framework...but it isnt true.

Maybe this can help:
