TypeLoadException after CAB install

[Chris Dailey]

I am working on a VB.Net program for HHP's Dolphin 9550 scanner based on
the Pocket PC OS. When I run the program from VS it deploys and runs
just fine. When I copy out the CAB files into the AutoInstall directory
and perform a cold boot it installs everything just fine, but the
program takes a long time to launch (about 2 minutes) and I get a
TypeLoadException when I click on a button to open another form.

Here is the output from the VS deployment:

------ Build started: Project: PPC USMLauncher, Configuration: Release

I am installing the following CAB's:

Any Ideas?

Hi Chris,

I am experiencing a very similar problem to yours. I originally thought the
solution was to adjust the VersionMin and VersionMax number sin the CAB inf
file under the [CEDevice] tag. It seemed to work for a time but the problem
came back. Have you found a solution to this challenge.

Cheers,
Ollie
