OpenNETCF Smart Device Framework v.1.3 -- Re-install dialog during deploy

Hi!
I got the same error when I downloaded and installed v. 1.3 as
described before for earlier versions.

Short summary here:
"The appearance of the re-install dialog is due to an unsigned
assembly
existing within the CAB files. Visual Studio .NET thinks this file is
signed and checks for its existence in the GAC on the device prior to
deploying the CAB. Since the assembly, OpenNETCF.Xml.dll in this case,
is not signed, it will not be found in the GAC, and Visual Studio .NET
re-deploys the CAB in an attempt to repair the installation on the
device.

The fix for this involved assigning a strong name to OpenNETCF.Xml.dll
and rebuilding the CABs. No code changes took place.
"

Anyone got any idéas or inputs around this issue?

Hi Magnus,

In v1.3 the cause of the error is exactly the same cause but a different
dll - OpenNETCF.WindowsCE.Forms.dll. There isn't yet a fixed version of the
installer yet to overcome this and other known deployment issues, there are
some workarounds here:-
