Compact .Net blues. How to install?

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?

newer version of microsoft net compact framework

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!

i downloaded the GRemote app and tried to run it on the touch hd. but i get error this app requires a newer version of the microsoft.NET Compact Framework than the version installed on this device.

--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

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

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

question .net compact framework

Hi
I have an question, I downloaded on the site http://www.freewarepocketpc.net some applications but they didn't start on my Pro2 with WM6.5 he says me that there would be an error with .NET Compact Framework. but i made an update and it doesn't start yet. Waht could I do?
Thanks

try this
did you open the net framework file on your computer while your phone was plugged in/with an active syn connection? i dont think you can open it straight from your phone and use it on your phone,pretty sure it must be opened on your home computer

try explaining it again? i might be able to help,which program did u download and how did you install 3.5 net framework,via your computer or what?

I just downloaded : TicTacToe.CAB / BubbleSetup.CAB / PowerRadio.CAB / SinkMyShipsSetup.CAB / HTCLightSaberSetup.CAB
I made them on my phone and there opened them for installing , when the instalaition was finished the phone said it would be in order but wehn i tryed to start one of the programms it did start

ok
do you get an error message? what did it say if you did? explain to me how you installed netframe work 3.5 ,did you install it on your computer while your phone was plugged in,download net framework 3.5 ,search for the version you need.in the search box here in xda download it to your computer,plug in your tp2 to the computer make sure you have an active sync connection,then open the netframework file on your computer and it will install net framework on your phone,if you have done this do it again then redownload the games,put them on your phone,maybe install on device instead of storage card then try again,hopefully that works or maybe another program you have installed is in conflict with it,or maybe the rom you have isnt compatable

perhaps something you downloaded is in conflict or the games are not compatable with a touch screen

I'm trying to install the .net compact framework 3.5 on my tp2 but i always get the message "installation of Microsoft .NET CF 3.5.CAB was unsuccessful."
i have synced the tp2 with my laptop and i run the installation program on the laptop.
