After upgrading to windows mobile 6.5 on my touch pro 2, everything seems to be working but some apps that i install give an error saying that i need to upgrade my phones .NET compact framework. After downloading the latest .NET compact framework (3.5) It installs on my PC and then when it moves onto the phone installation, my phone says .NET compact framework installation was unsuccessful...
any help will be appreciated
There is a .net framework cab around here somewhere. I just cant find it right now. I will see if its on my phone somewhere. You can check out the link in the tip, tweaks thread.

Are you installing the compact framework. I think that makes a difference. Not my forte, I am afraid. I was able to install it on several ROMs already. Just hunt around a little and you'll find it.
Try this cab.

i've downloaded the msi file of wififofum from its original web, i tried to install it into my device but there was a message said, microsoft .net framework not found. after several days, i download the .net framework 2.0, and i try to install it again but it stay the same, the wififofum couldn't be installed into my device.....
any suggestions?
I've got the same problem. Wififofum and many others stopped working after a hard boot. Now I can't unpack the .net framework stuff. Don't know what to do.

problem solved...
just locate your installed .net framework in your desktop pc, and find in the .net framework 2.0 subfolder, locate folder winCE, and find your specified processor there. i'm figured out this morning... i hope yours too... ^_^
I don't sync. No pc. I deal strictly with cabs.

Hello All,
I've been looking over various board (and Google) but found no answer to this particular question. I hope you can help.
I have an employee who has just got himself an XDA orbit. This has come with MS .Net Compact Framework version 2 on it. We use some device software that has been written for version 1. Now; version 2 is supposed to be completely backward compatible but it turns out that is not the case.
What I would like to ask is:
It appears that you can have multiple versions of the .net compact framework installed yet the MS installer will not install because it detects the newer version. I am not familiar enough with .net on these devices to know any way around this. Is it possible to retrofit version 1 at all? You advice would be much appreciated.
I would really like to help this guy out.
I guess this is because Microsoft thought they would be compatible. I would try to get another installer for CF1. If there is nothing newer than the one you have, try editing the installer. The cab-Installations are defined by xml files and are quite easy to read and edit. It shouldn't be a problem to remove the check of the newer version.
Tell us if it worked :-D
Ok...
I have the newest installer for .net CF V1 SP3. That's the latest one I can find on the MS site - without going to Version 2. I've unpacked it and I am now sitting looking at a folder full of CAB files.
I guess one of the questions I need to ask is whether it is possible versions of >net CF on the Artemis? If it is, are there any caveats?
And how do I know which CAB file to use?
I should explain that I am new to field of XDA modding so I don't really know all that much about how the OS works. This is a little project that will help a friend out (he is techincally incompetent) and give me a bit of extra knowledge (right now I feel technically incompetent...).
I'd try it that way: run the installer with the ppc disconnected. Then look into the "program files\Microsoft Activesync" folder which cab you can find there. Maybe it's more than one depending on your CPU. Extract the cab and edit the xml file.
CF1 SP3 is built into the ROM of WM5 so installing it again is just wasting your precious storage memory. CF2 SP1 can be installed to your storage card. CF2 is backwards compatible and can run CF1 applications, but since all WM5 devices have CF1 built in when you run a CF1 app it actually runs under CF1. You can force it to run under CF2 by placing a config file in the applications directory.

@indiekiduk: without having read your links; are you sure about CF1 is installed on the device?
I tried the version checker of the hitchhiker website ( http://www.kasuei.com/hitchhiker/ ) and it says ".NET Compact Framework Unknown (2.0.5238.0)" seems to me like version 2.*.
I have not installed any other CF onto my orbit.
correct me if i'm wrong please.

This is simply not true. The Orbit comes with SP2 installed and has never had SP1 installed - not in the ROM on the XDA I've seen.
The Orbit comes pre-installed with CF2 - I have seen this with my own eyes. It is also NOT completely backward compatible. Even the CF .net team admit this - there are always caveats when microsoft say something is "backward compatible".
I don't want to force it to run under SP2 - because it IS running under SP2 already.
Can anyone tell me which CAB file I can use to install another version of .net CF? And if it's even possible to retrofit CF v1 on the Orbit?
You could try changing the value under HKLM\software\microsoft\.NETCompactframework - to try and fool said program to believe you have CF1, CF2 programs may not work but worth a shot.
Hey,
many of the apps for the Excalibur/Dash require the new NET C Framework v2, i downloaded it, tried to install it and my excalibur popped up a msg saying: There is already a version of the NET... installed, plese uninstall this version first before installing the new one....or sth like this, well okay, but how should i uninstall that version? i mean i recently just upgraded to WM6 so i could imagine the newest version of the NET framework is included anyhow. BUT, when i want to install some of the apps besides that, it still says: You need to have NET compact framework v.2.0...so, how to uninstall then?
wm6 has cf2 built in. cf2 can also run cf1 apps but sometimes there is the odd problem with crashes etc so you might like to install cf1 sp3 (the last version of cf1) too.
Okay, still, how am i able to uninstall the cf2 first?

Hm..AFAIK you can't uninstall it, because of it's shipped in ROM.
Muaha...alright...so all the DashApps are rather useless that require a net framework v.2.0, although i am supposed to have it..!?
this works on my blackstone

http://www.google.com
seriously? its in the cabs, tweaks, & other stuff thread. its a direct link to the cab in the first or second post. search buddy... & read the stickys....
redundant thread
I find it extremly stupid that .net 3.5 wasn't in the Rhodium to start with... Hopefully the ATT model will have WM 6.5 and .net 3.5 so I don't have to waste ram with it. I've heard it can be installed to the SD card but too much uses it for that.
