NETCF 2.0 Intallation Problem

[Samuel Shulman]

Hi

I tried running the program on my device so I got a message that the program
can't run because the CLR version needed (2.0) is not installed

I then Tried to install manually using the following file:
NETCFv2.ppc.ARMV4.cab
and I got the following message:Microsoft NET CF 2.0 failed to install
because the installation file is not intended for this version of the device

I then Tried downloading a new image of the OS from the manufacturer (it is
ACER N30) and it keeps failing at about half way

What can I do now. is there another file that may be suitable or there is a
method that would allow using this file to be installed

Thank you,
Samuel

Some devices (especially older ones from second tier manufacturers) have
bugs in OEM portion of the OS.

That prevents installation of NETCF V2 in some cases because device
incorrectly identifies itself.

You can try NETCF V2 SP1 CAB for CE 4.2 (NETCFv2.wce4.ARMV4.cab) instead.

If that does not work you can't run NETCF V2 on this device.

Thanks for your reply,

I can't find the file that you mentioned in the following location:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\SmartDevices\SDK\CompactFramework\2.0\v2.0\WindowsCE\wce400\armv4

Do you know how I can get hold of one?
