Hey. I've recently got myself the HTC Touch HD. I know how to install stuff etc, I installed a program which needs a newer version off "Microsoft .NET Compact Framework". I've literally searched the forum up and down and used google, I really cant find it.
How do I get it, and how do I install it? I found something on microsoft's site but its .msi, and I couldn't install it, I got an error. Maybe im missing something.
Help another noob here
thx
msi's are installed on the pc while the pda is connected to activesync then it install it on the device

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?
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?
ive been trying to install activesync on my laptop but it wont let me since i dont have a legit copy of windows installed and it says i need servicepack2 installed before i can install activesync im trying to avoid the whole having to actually buy windowsxp choice... so my question would be... is there an alternative to using activesync to connect my phone to my pc?

Don't need a legit version of XP, but you DO need SP2.
Look an Google for things like "change Windows XP serial", that should help. But I cannot say more then this! Sorry.

[sarcasm]thanks for the the tip.[sarcasm]
you could even maybe search peer to peer for sp2... when it got sent to me on cd from microsoft for my non legit version it installed just fine, but my copy is now legit (in case any microsuck people are watching..)
Hey guys,
Everything goes smoothly until i attempt to instal the touchflo. I get this error message,
" .Net Framework Initialization Error - "To run this application, you must first install one of the following versions of the .Net Framework: V2.0.50727 Contact your application publisher for instructions about obtaining the appropriate version of .Net Framework"
Am I going to have to download the .Net framework program or is there anyway to bypass that? Thanx a bunch guys! Sorry if I sound like an idiot.
That's strange... I've never seen that because I've always had the .NET framework on my PC's since it came out... What OS are you using and how come you don't have it?
Most programs these days are coded in .NET, so if you dont have those components then they won't run...
What program are you running that says that?
I'm running XP Pro, but I usually uninstal the .Net framework because it messes up the way my computer runs. I'm trying to run the 1_upgrade_rom for touchIT 2.3 for the wing. It'll be mid process and then it shows the forceful disconnection. If i need to install the program does anyone have a link so that I can download it?
I had that issue .. i dont know how i fixed it, but im sure i ran this CAB
http://www.pocketemu.com/download7.html
So then you ran the cab on the Wing and then the problem stopped occuring?
yea, i didnt have any issues/ errors after the first install
Alright thanx man. I was about to try to run the installation off of my sisters computer. She has a shadow so I know she installed active sync. its frustrating for me to not have something i need because sadly im still running off of a 56k internet connection :'(
I just finished downloading it and it didnt install, it said that it already exists in the rom. Off to my sisters computer i go
This sucks, not even my sisters computer can run the installation.
As above, anyone know how i can update this?
when i try to use some apps an error message occurs stating that i need a newer version of compact framework
any ideas?
search over this forum or google for .NET Compact Framework 3.5 (this is the latest version I know, Diamond comes with 2.0 by default), download it on your PC and install it having your Diamond connected to the PC via ActiveSync. Program will install and automatically generate CAB's for your Diamond, transfer it on the phone and start install on it. Just follow the instructions after that
The problem is i dont have access to active sync at the moment, i use a mac
Apparently theres a way to install it on the phone without active sync?
There is a NetCF 3.5 cab...
There is a search funktion to this forum...
Try this link...
There is a way. Use the cab file. It can be found here in the forums.
First result of forum search for .net compact 3.5 cab
had a look at that one, the rapid share one doesnt work for me and i didnt look at the megaupload one properly, sorry guys!
installing the new network comapact wont wipe anything will it?
just installed it, and it works great, thanks alot!

--are you sure that the base rom hasn't .net 3.5 already installed?
.net compact framework 3.5 is not standard installed on a TD2 aka Topaz.
Download it from MSDN Microsoft here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/default.aspx

You should have a Active Sync (Windows XP) connection with your device.
For Windows Vista and Windows 7 you must connect through Windows Mobile Device Center.
Active Sync 4.5 and Windows Mobile Device Center are free for download from Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/activesync-download.mspx
It looks like the framework is being installed on your PC but it will be installed on your phone.
You must have .net compact framework 3.5 from my link above.
ok downloaded every thing you have stated and installed accordingly but im still no further forward if you could add me to msn and help me out id really appreciate it buddy add me : [email protected] thanks alot guys
having the same problem. I connected Topaz to PC via active sync and waited to install net framework. Tried to open advanced config and said I needed net framework 3.5 at least. I think I know the problem, I JUST THINK :d

I`m confused too: my polaris says - .NET 3.5 is already at the ROM but I´ve got a punch of apps which cannot be installed on behalf of lecking "actual .NET-version"????
sucks a lot - could somebody give me a hand instead of HR?
thxs in advance
Download this:

and run it on your PC. The idea is that it'll then copy CF3.5 to your device the next time you connect via activesync. If it doesn't do that for some reason then goto C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\SDK\CompactFramework\v3.5\WindowsCE on your PC and copy the file NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab onto your D2. Then using the D2, find that file in File Explorer and click on it, to install it manually.

That link is for the desktop .NET 3.5, not the Compact Framework, which kinda explains why people were having no success with it!
I have isntalled on my PC compact version and same problem ...
see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347537. Download the cab file and put in on the sd-card, doubleclick on the file
NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab and install process begin. I hope it works for yoy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529783
If you don't use Activesync, you may want to get just the cab file instead. Just google for NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab, then instal like any other app, to the main memory.
Also, whilst you're about it, google netcfcfg.cab. This app lets you set windows CF policy, so that all apps which need CF2.0 to run will automatically use your newly installed CF3.5, which is apparently better and more stable.
The file sizes should be 2644KB and 34KB respectively.

For what it's worth, the above mentioned netcfcfg.cab .NET config program is part of the CF 3.5 Power Toys, available from MS here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...14-a27d-4148-bf01-86c2e0953eab&displaylang=en

I was never able to get the cab file to work. Every time I ran it on the phone, I got an error saying that the aplication was not installed. When I installed the full msi on my laptop with the TD2 attached it successfuly installed on the phone.
works great. copy NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab, install, soft reset and go for it
do you want to try this
