C++ / CLI support in XPe?

[glenn.woodruff]

I've been trolling the newsgroups and the blogs but I haven't found the
answer to this yet. I'm about to start work on a gizmo that runs XPe
and has some strange requirements. I'd like to do the whole thing (or
at least most of it) in C++/CLI. This requires the .net 2.0 runtime,
which I've yet to find a QFE for. Is this available someplace in beta
form, or do we know when it's going to be available?

If I can't do this, I could work in a mix of COM C++ and C#. But I'd
rather not. Managed C++ is right out for all the reasons you can
probably guess.

It is not. But you can definitely componentize it yourself.

The only .Net 1.1 SP1 is available (not in SP2 database, though, but on CD under VALUEADD\MSFT folder).
