wififofum installation problem!!!!

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.

How to create CAB for WM5/WM6

Hi all, what's the best software to use if I want to create .cab file for installing apps or chaing registry etc on the Universal's WM5/WM6?
I have tried "WinCE CAB Manager" but the cab file failed to be installed on my Windows Mobile emulator for some reason. I know you can use Visual Studio .NET 2005 something like that, but is there any lighter program in addition to VS .NET?
Thanks in advance!

"WinCE CAB Manager" but the cab file failed to be installed on my Windows Mobile emulator for some reason -> u maybe set the wrong version variables?
check it! ;-) i think it workz!!!

I have set it to support all CPUs and on the OS type I have set it to support Pocket PC 2005. I will give it some more go later and see how it does.

Hi, it is still not working, I have attached the screenshot of the configurations in the cab and the error messsage I get. I tried it with my Universal and the Windows Mobile Device emulator and I got the same error.
Can anyone tell me what I have set wrong in this CAB? Thanks!
BTW, I was only trying to add a small .txt file by using this .cab as a test.

I have just got it working now! I installed WinCE CAB Manager on another PC and it is working fine!! For some reason the cab file it makes on my laptop doesn't work.
Anyway, I will use the other PCs to create the cab file then.

Wrong thread... Sorry

>net compact framework compatibility

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.

tried the same, didn`t work also for me. waiting for the working cab, would be very nice

Here: cab file

Net CF 3.7
the cab works fine on my Tytn II, but I don't know the differences with the previous version 3.5

Any official statements already? Don't want to add any beta crap in my ROMs ...

What's new in this release?

Files, Modules?
In this OEM package there is only a single module (netcfd3m3_5.dll). In the original .NetCF 2.0 and the updated .NetCF 3.5 OEM packages there are six modules. My understanding is that it is better for memory if files are module'd (?) so can any of the other files be converted?

Cooked into my ROM and fine so far also.

HERE you will have the current .NET Frameworks including v3.7

Cook into ROM that have v3.5 before, up to now running smoothly.

Can't install .net Framework

Hi,
I use the EnergyROM with WM 6.5 and Manila 2.1 with Windows 7 x64.
If I connect the TP2 to my PC and if I choose to install the .net CF 3.5, the installation abort by 100%
Error: There was an error... Supportinformation: 3
Someone an idea?

check the Cabs, tweaks, & other stuff sticky. there's a link to the .NetCF 3.5 CAB that you can install straight to the phone.

I use the cab from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347537&page=1 and it doesn't work :-/ the same error. I think that this isn't aproblem of the cab.

Dumb question, doesn't the ROM come preinstalled with 3.5? IIRC, it does.
